The cover of the very first Wilde Imagination catalog I ever saw had this beauty on it. She is Positively Negative and I was absolutely captivated by her. I could not take my eyes off that catalog. While she was the first Ellowyne Wilde doll I wanted, she was obviously not the first, or second, or third one I bought. No, she is lucky number seven! Wilde Imagination recently had a sale and I bought her for $85 with free shipping (bonus!). I know, $85 is still a lot of money for a doll, but compared to the original price of about $160, that was a deal and I knew that what they had left were going to go fast. I had to have her.
So just as I finished snapping the top photo, the battery on my good camera died. UGH. So the rest of the photos are done with my iPhone.
Even though the Ellowyne Wilde dolls have “names” of their own like Positively Negative and Woeful Romance, our girls get alternative names. Positively Negative goes by Caitlyn and Woeful Romance you know as Lillian.
Caitlyn and Lillian saw that I had been to Sephora had a bag of samples in a pretty silver bag, so they decided to investigate.
Caitlin found some fun goodies in the silver bag. She likes the ChaCha Tint from Benefit.
Isn’t she just so gorgeous? I look forward to trying her out in different outfits and settings as part of my own “Magnificent Seven.”
I guess I need to go recharge the good camera so I have decent photos for the day of play activity that I will get posted later this afternoon!
Stay tuned for another Wilde Wednesday next week!
Lucky girl to arrive to a Sephora gift bag! She really is a stunner, Char, you done good.
Firstie! She is!
Sorry Secondie!
Thirdie! I love black and white outfits! I also like the bags!
She is so pretty! I still think that Lillian is my fave though!
I love Caitlyn/Positively Negative!
That red hair contrasts so wonderfully with the black and white outfit. I considered buying her when she was on sale, but I decided I’d rather save my money to get the blonde Amber doll at some point.
Char you spelled her name Caitlyn and Caitlin
Very beautiful. I love Ellowynes but the price is too much.
Caitlin – good catch! I am not sure which way we should spell it. What do you think?
Caitlin!
There is also Kaitlin and Katelyn
I think Katelyn is the prettiest of all four but of the two you used Char I would vote Caitlin.
I like the spelling like this Caitlin
I prefer Caitlyn– having the Y in there seems to break up all the “vertical” letters (i, t, l). But either way is pretty.
Wow she is so pretty! What’s sephora?
Ava – Sephora is a cosmetics store in the USA
Ill have an ellowyne someday!
Char, did you get my pictures of Cassia?
Been drooling over my first catalog . . . I’d like to add one. I own one Barbie, a Western brunette from 20 years ago. The prices are high so I’d wait for a solid sale. I am drawn to redheads (this one had been one of my faves, congrats! What a covergirl!) and the preppy look, “Plaid to Meet you” has turned my head but I really must be more diligent in checking for sales. I’m hoping around the holidays. She reminds me a bit of Annie Hall? With the tie and hat? What do you think?
Yes, and they will go in the Sunday Showcase.
I vote for the name of my best friend…. Kaitlyn!
