Lately I've been feeling the itch to bring a new dolly into the house. So I've been browsing online looking for one that would spark my interest and I came across a dolly on the
Leeke World site that stole my heart. Her name is
Ariana and she is very different then any of my other dolls. She is around the height of an MSD, and she has a Leeke art doll body which I adore. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding the Leeke art doll body between Leeke and Dust of Dolls. Basically I feel the same as the mods on DOA. I cannot make any official judgments on dolls that are inspired by other dolls. It seems to me with any kind of art that inspiration is bound to happen as artists meet each other, and share there work with each other. Plus it is clear that at the least Leeke did not make a mold directly from the Dust of Dolls Puns. The bottom line for me though is that I'm not a big fan of the Dust of Dolls head mold where as the Ariana face takes my breath away. It's as simple as that. I know I am digressing here, but I wanted to be sure that I commented on the situation and made anyone reading this aware that I know about it, but don't really have much of an opinion. Hmmmmmm. Maybe stating that I don't have an opinion is a waste of my time and yours, but it's here so I'm leaving it. Of course if they do go to court over the matter, it might be easier for Leeke to just pay Dust of Dolls for their idea and be done with it. Either way I'm not going to boycott Leeke because I have shopped with them many times and they have always done good business with me personally. So, that said, here is a photo of Ariana.
Her face is so sweet and innocent, it makes me want to just spoil her rotten. lol Something I end up doing with all of my dolls. The bulk that Ariana carries on her body makes me very happy because well, I am fat and I'd love to have a doll that has a body more like my own. Oh and I'm not going into the fat thing either because um, I like the word and I like my body and that is all I can say about it at the moment. Wow, I kinda feel like I should just delete this post because it might make me seem like a horrible person and maybe I'll even loose a lot of respect from it. I'm not gonna do that though because this is my blog and I will write what I want no matter what. Humph. HaHaHa. Really I swear I am a happy and easy going person. I also created a set of things I'd buy for Ariana if I did buy her, or get her for Christmas. *hint hint* I'd like to name her Tilda and give her green eyes and dusty pink hair. I'd even buy her her own BJD (ish) cat because a dolly this cute truly deserves one.
