Some updates - Wigs

My nameless Littlefee is still a I-don't-know-what-to-do mystery. I bought a third wig for her, short and dark (as you could see on the Christmas pictures here and here). It's from Fatiao on Ebay. It's cute, but didn't "click" at first. Then she got her new eyes and suddenly it looked so much better:


I really like it. But! A new problem evolved: the new tomboy-ish look is a very fine line to walk on. With not enough happy bright girlish clothes, she have the tendency to look like a boy with a lot of makeup (not that it's something wrong with that, but it's less suiting for a childlike doll that are supposed to be a girl, NOT a boy with makeup). It's like she's determent to walk her own path, despite my desperate tries to mold her. "Resistance is futile". Well, okay then! Try to achieve perfection without me. Good luck with that.

...I might keep my eye open for a forth wig just in case (same color, but longer). THEN I give up. Because jeeez, it has to end sometimes. My wallet isn't really made for this hobby, so I can't keep buying wigs if there's ever gonna be another doll in the horizon >.<


I also bought a new blond wig for Shilou, but that one is just awful. So big and bulky. Even a trim wouldn't do the trick. It's a shame, it looked so good in the picture :/


I'm trying to find a blond wig (with fringe) that hides her pointy ears. The dream wig for Shilou right now is this one from Fairyland, but that one sold out before I even knew that it was sold separately. And this one, which is very similar...that one sold out before I even got into this hobby! Bummer.

  1. I bought the same blond wig for my pukifee Ante :) I cut it, and now it looks like here:

    1. I can't believe that's the same wig. Now I have to trim it! Maybe there's still hope. Yay! Thank you for writing :)

  2. I did something more than haircut :) First I used boiling water to straighten wig. Fringe was too thick, so I removed some hair underneath to make it more thin. That's all :)

    1. I suspected something like that. I have never used boiling water on wigs before (only barbiehair) but I guess there's a first time for everything. Thank you for the info, it was very helpful! :)

  3. My PukiFee Ante is wearing a blonde Hannah wig that I got here: http://www.facetsbymarcia.com/wigshop.htm I only buy Gold Label wigs though because they're heat resisting fibers and much nicer than the other wigs. Your LittleFee is adorable in that wig.
