A Current Muse

 When Jamieshow released their 12" resin "Muses" I was intrigued (as I love their 16" dolls as well as their rooted wig caps), but I was determined to talk myself out of "going there", as I didn't want to start yet another collection. To be honest, I knew I would go a little crazy with the wig caps, as I have with the 16" , and I didn't want to find storage space for yet another size of wigs. I have however learned never to say never on my doll collecting journey, so when I saw one of my favorite dolls from the Summer Kisses Muse collection (Sasha) in stock a couple of weeks back, along with wigs already stocked, in a moment of weakness I hit the buy button and haven't looked back.  In fact I've been back a couple of times to order, yes you guessed it ..........MORE wig caps!!  Now I wish I would have caved during the pre-order period so I could have added Ginnie as well! I am however VERY happy with Summer Kisses Sasha and have had the best time playing with her since her arrival. Here she is as she came right out of the box. The Summer Kisses girls came with a long, straight wig in varying colors, and various styles/colors of swim wear.

The face up on Sasha is really beautiful, and her body is beautifully sculpted as well.

I've found she can wear both Barbie and Fashion Royalty clothing quite well. The shoes for the FR/Nuface dolls seem to work well on her too. Here she is modeling a beautiful gown from the East 59th collection.

She is quite stunning as a brunette as well as her original blonde.

I'm really hoping that Jamieshow will eventually offer the gloved hands, as they have with the 16" size dolls. The Muses have gorgeous hands, with delicate nails but I find them extremely difficult, or for me it was impossible, to get them into any of the existing 12" gloves I have on hand.  I quite like Sasha in the auburn wig color as well. Here she is modeling one of my all time favorite FR ensembles, Travelor by Nature.

And lastly back she goes to blonde in this Barbie ensemble.

Word is 12" Muse Hommes are on the horizon, and according to Instagram, there will be a couple of ladies joining them in their debut release. I hear the new collection will debut the end of this month. I have a feeling my pocket book is going to be screaming.................... I haven't had this much fun with a new doll line in quite a long time though, so I believe I'll need to just invest in some ear plugs and let it scream on, lol!
