New portraits of my favourite doll

Haven't been shooting photos in the past few weeks, but found time yesterday to do some portraits of my very favourite doll (which, by the way, I've decided to rename Olivia).
Here's a small selection

I like how the cross stands out in the first pic.

these are so cool. I really like the second and third ones, it looks like she's alive. ^_^

Thank you so much. I've taken a look at your journal:your Beatrix is so beautiful!

Your pictures of Olivia are so beautiful! By the way, I love renaming my dolls too, "barbie doll" means nothing but a common noun to me, I feel that the dolls should have names since they have personalities...

I love the second picture most of all, it reminds me of antique photo-art, in a way :)
..and in general, Midge has very specific features, she's my favourite Mattel doll as well as Gillian from FF series.

Thank you! thank you ! thank you!
I totally agree with you about renaming dolls.
And I'm glad you've made the connection with antique photo-art: sepia-toned portraits of the 19th century are a major source of inspiration to me
And once again I have to agree with you: Midge is my favourite, and surf city midge in particular is just the most beautiful doll you can find, she's an absolute perfection

I adore those photographs dated with the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th century. I've seen a lot of them in museums and antique shops (I'm a fan of antique postcards and photographs, in general, and I've started a collection of antique postcards recently). And I am very impressed by the way you captured the spirits!

Midge is a perfect doll, she stands apart from all Mattel dolls. I have a dream of getting myself one, but here they are hard to find. We have it all arranged with a girl who is ready to sell and send me her Midge (the pregnant one) from the other city. She's in perfect condition and it makes me happy :)

I'm happy for you. Tell me when you receive your midge, it's true they're hard to find.
