EEEEEE!!! My first RBL!
I was just messing around yesterday on Evilbay and thought it would be fun to put a bid in for a pre-order on the new Star Dancer. I really liked the concept of her when it she was introduced...the outfit looks totally necessary and I like the tan skin and ash blonde hair idea. I thought my wallet would be relatively safe though until I found out that she is in fact supposed to be an RBL girl!!! Since Darling Diva and Last Kiss seem to be way out of my price range, I was hoping that I would come across one of these new girls at a decent price. Apparently Star Dancer is supposed to be a limited girl as well, but when I saw the relatively low bids on her, I had to take a shot.
Anyway, my bid actually won! I didn't think it would and I am not really prepared for a new dolly at this point (not like it's not going to take her a month or more to get to me anyway) and I've never even considered purchasing a doll based off the drawing alone, so I am hoping she will be totally gorgeous. So far the new face mold reminds me so much of a Kenner in so many ways that I am pretty confident that I will totally love her. The fact that she is supposed to be sort of half-matted is absolutely tops in my book. I've accidentally won auctions before in the past and it left me feeling a little freaked out over the money lost, but I literally squeeked when I saw that I had won this girl today.
I am planning on naming her Gaea (Gay-eh)...another name for Mother Earth, since she seems to be sort of hippie-ish. I can't wait to see some actual pics of her and more importantly I cannot wait for her to get to my house!! The auction said I should be expecting her in about a month...ohhhh man the wait is going to kill me!! SO SO SO EXCITED!!!
Edit: So the promo pic was released today. From what I can see here (this particular outfit) I am COMPLETELY happy with my purchase. The poncho and hat from the other promo pic aren't so much my style, but then again you can't really tell much from these photos most of the time. And what the hell is up with all these poor girls and their bed head in the promo shots? Her earrings look fab. I might have to borrow them. Hahaha!

OK maybe it won't be THAT bad, but I REALLY want her to get here. Dammit it's only November 6th.
Oh well...at least I will have plenty of time to get the shelving ready for all the girls. The dresser is WAY too crowded at this point. hahahah
Your Aztec is absolutely ADORABLE, too. I saw her pics in Blythe-o-pedia the other day. The one of her waving made my heart melt. :-)
