Only Anarchists are Pretty...

I was finally inspired to do something with Yula's lids and finish her faceup. I also decided to FINALLY get rid of the awful light blue sparkly forward facing chips. The green are next on my list (ran out of spare chips...need more!)


Yula is a World Inferno Friendship Society themed girl. Her lids needed to reflect both her punk attitude and her heritage. I haven't gotten the new album, 'Anarchy and Ecstasy' yet, but I love the cover art. I wasn't sure about recreating it on Yula's lids, but I did a few test runs on paper, and felt pretty confident. Even though Only Anarchists are Pretty isn't on this album (it hails from Red Eyed Soul, my favorite album!) I really wanted that on her other lid. I have mixed feelings about my results, but see for yourself:


In addition to the face-work, I removed the awful blues and replaced them with purple (I know, I know. I now need to pull her side facing purples for something else...it just goes on and on and on...) BUT! I spiffied the forward facing purples with little anarchy signs behind them! I plan to do something similar with whatever other forwards I get for her (the green gots to go!) Options are: A wine glass, the inferno wine glass emblem, the little skull with 'only anarachists are pretty' which, when shrunk, fits eye-chip size PERFECTLY...or whatever.


Last but not least, I finally gave Yula her new Kitty Robot pull. If you remember (or even read my blog) I won two free pulls from a giveaway on Blythelife.com! The pulls are really cool, and I like how well it fits Yula's 'theme.'

Up the Punkaholics

Yula is NOT the doll I intended her to be, and this has to be remedied. I am tired of seeing her left on the shelf, and I can't possibly sell her. She was a combined birthday effort from my husband and my mom. She needs a better makeover.

First, her chips. The purple side facing and the purple/green side facing are fine. The green forward are acceptable. The blue? Not her. I will never use them. I need to swap them for dark, smokey gray or a darker blue.

Her lids: They need to get painted and detailed to help further her personality and individualism. Maybe a bass as homage to the bassist she is named after. Maybe an anarchy symbol. Either way ;)



Her Lashes: We can do better than stock! Lashes don't even cost that much! I am trying to get better at doing lower lashes...when I'm there, I will seal them :)

Haircut: I might need to enlist help on this one, but she needs to be more angled and edgy to be, well, edgy! I have got to get her highlights too. That should have happened a long time ago. This was the original inspiration for Yula:




Wardrobe: She needs her own clothes. This girl cannot, and will not dress like Cassie or Fawn or Kylee. She might borrow a thing or two from Hana, but that is not her style either, per se. As I lack funds, I'm going to have to make her some new threads.




This is the improvement we have already made. I made her a skirt and messed with her hair and makeup a bit. :) I can't wait to put some more work into her face up and her wardrobe.
