What Once Was Creepy and Juvenile Is Suddenly Loved... Dolls

In all this blitzkrieg of inspiration that I have been getting from Lolita fashion and it's Lolita lifestylers I have been looking at dolls. Wow, and it's still surprising for me to say that and mean it!! I have never really been into "cute" but somehow into twenty six years of living I have embraced little girl pink aesthetics. There are a lot of really cute dolls.

First off are the cheaper ones- Pullip Dolls are pretty affordable and not entirely an insane interest at around $110. The only problem is that they look a little bit like those Bratz dolls with those humongous noggins. But look at how cute their special dolls are like the Princess Ann/ Roman Holiday one! The website is also horrible to navigate. I have tried a few times to find a doll that I like based on it's face and it turns out that the doll is a stupid cos-play anime thing (no offense, just not my thing).

A little more, or rather, a lot more expensive are the Rosette Dolls. These suckers are about $475-$575 a pop naked. Forget clothing, wigs, and everything else you can get for these pretty things. I imagine these things set you back $1,000 FAST. But look at how pretty they are. Armeria is my favorite. And! These dolls have artists who paint up there faces and make them fancy clothing and sell them as custom dolls.

Blog Songes de Poupees spotted this beautiful custom pair. They are done by CoCoon possibly, but I am not sure. This is what I really like about this beautiful doll scene. My mom made me little fairies when I was little that had handmade little leather skirts and doll hair and hand sculpted faces and extremities and they were just so magical. These dolls are like those fairies my mom made taken to a whole other level. So much detail with their uniquely painted faces and fancy outfits!

Now the creme de la creme! These dolls have been floating around a while on Stumble but I was just thinking about and revisiting them. For a few thousand dollars Enchanted Dolls by Russian artist Marina Bychkova are custom made. They are porcelain and Bychkova customizes them with tattoos and body mutilations. They have realistic looking genitalia and their ball and joints are as beautiful as their faces. Everything is regal and ethereal about these magical creatures of art.
