*Reader Photos* Custom Dollie & Me Boy Doll

 
This is Kevin Eric, my customized Dollie and Me.  I found her/him at Goodwill.  His hair had been cut and his bangs were in a top knot.  
I had been wanting a boy for my collection and decided to try my hand at customizing.  The first thing I did was give him a boy haircut. Then I removed his painted on deep rosy pink lip color.  
I'm very pleased with the transformation. His head is loose so I am currently trying to find someone who can tighten it.  I'm too afraid to try myself because I have gotten quite attached to him and don't want to ruin him. My hope is to someday find him a brother but for now he his holding his own in a house with 11 sisters.

    Danny and Jason are waving at Kevin! "Hey buddy!" Actually, Danny, Jason and Kevin are pen pals. They all love sending letters and cards back and forth, and sometimes little gifts, too! Kevin and Fawn gave Danny and Jason the Hot Wheels catalog you see in one of my photos.

    1. No, those are his original eyebrows. I'm not a talented painter and was afraid to try.
