L'arrivée de Archie

Don't ask us why we put the title in French. :-P

We are in a weird mood.

One fueled by lack of sleep and insanity most likely. :-P again.

So Archie -- Our first American Boy Custom doll is here!

Woot!

We ordered a "Doll Without Hair" style #5 from AG last week with the free shipping code.

He has light brown eyes.

(But we can't really tell the difference between light and dark brown anyways.)

WARNING: Long post, lots of pics.

If you want to see any of them larger, just click on one and you will be brought to a larger slideshow.

Here he is cross-dressing in a pic that we will use for blackmail.

It's quite embarrassing to be a boy dressed as a girl, 

never mind us publishing them on the interwebs.

Archie in his first boy outfit.

Jeans are from Liberty Jane.

Rolled cuffs are from hipsters.

Hoodie is from Etsy seller All Dolld Up.

Head shots. Literally.

For those of you curious about what an AG bald head looks like.

Then Archie got two wigs from Monique -- Johnny style, size 10-11, colors black and medium auburn. Direct from Monique's online shop.

Got here very quickly.

They have an adjustable strap built into them which we found mostly useless.

Stylings attempts with the black wig.

Style One

The black wig did have more shedding than the auburn one.

But they are both high-quality wigs.

The short boy-style is difficult to style when you are anal like us.

But we are trying. :-P

Style Two

Style Three

Styling attempts with the medium auburn wig.

Style One. A bit too high on the head.

Needs to be closer to his eyebrows.

Style Two

Style Three

Emo hairdo eating his head.

Which wig and style do you prefer???

Random comparison with Beatrice, who is wearing a dress from Etsy seller Sew Small N Sweet and a jacket from Etsy seller Fox and Family.

Overall, we are super-excited about Archie. 

We keep staring at him and squeeing.

He is probably a bit nervous by now.

While playing with his wigs we determined there is probably a front and a back to them that we are supposed to be paying attention to. But then we kinda decided to ignore that.

We aren't gluing down the wigs, so we plan on playing around with them perpetually. Maybe he will get more colors in the future. And he can even cross-dress as a girl again if he wants to, given the amount of girl wigs we have strewn about our doll closet.

He says "No way" to that though....

(Evil plots begin...)
