Same Sculpt?

There was some discussion on the Jamieshow Muses Facebook group about whether or not Alejandro and Orlando are the same sculpt, so I decided to put both of my guys in the same wig and get some shots of them together to see what I thought.  

I had never really thought about them being the same sculpt until this was mentioned. Looking at the two of them side by side in the same wig, it is apparent they have definite similarities.

The shape of their noses is definitely VERY similar, as is their eye shape. Someone on FB thought their chins were different, that Orlando had a rounder chin, but my thought is that may be an illusion caused by the shape of Alejandro's goatee.

Their cheekbones are also identical to my eye. Seeing them side by side and comparing them, I would say it's very probable they are the same sculpt in different resin colors, painted as different characters. After all, we have Grace and Alexis who share a sculpt and a resin color, why not some of the male characters. It was also discussed in the FB Musedoll group that the new characters from the Bonjour Paris line, Aiden and Sean appear to share a sculpt as well. I guess until George Gonzalez or Owensu weigh in to confirm or deny we will not know for sure, but it is fun to speculate. What do you think?

A Favorite Pairing

 Ginnie and Alejandro have been a favorite pairing of mine in their 16" sizes for a while now, so when Alejandro was released in the 12" Muse size I had to get him for Ginnie......(well who am I kidding, for me too, lol, as he's my favorite of the men). I put both dolls in summer wear and took some photos of them recently. Ginnie is from the Summer Kisses release. Alejandro is from the Dangerous Love collection.

I really do like these two together. Ginnie's outfit is Look 16 from the Summer Kisses line. Alejandro is wearing an outfit from Mattel's now defunct My Scene line.

A Vintage Nod

 Jamieshow Summer Kisses Alexis Muse modeling Look 22 from the Dangerous Love collection. This was a look that I wanted originally, but I had to draw the line somewhere on my original preorder.  When I saw this outfit was back up in the last round of overstocks I pulled the trigger and also added the short black wig, as I like Alexis best in raven locks.

Unfortunately the earring holes on Alexis are very narrow, so whe wasn't able to wear the earrings that originally came with the out. I found these in my stash and they are a good substitute.

I love the vintage nods with the hat and the full skirt. I should have thought to put the black glove hands on her.

Sunshine Yellow

 I've been trying to decide who to dress in this lovely yellow ensemble from Jamieshow's Summer Kisses 2021 collection (Look 1). I decided if I put the low ponytail hazelnut wig from the Dangerous Love collection on Bella it might be a good combo.

As I think I mentioned before, Bella was a sleeper hit for me. She has grown to be one of my favorites though, and I'm glad I was able to get my hands on her.

I thought I liked her best as a blonde, or with a lighter hair color, but the hazelnut suits her very well IMHO.

She is proving to be quite versatile.

The Start to Summer

 Alejandro is ready to start the summer off this Memorial Day weekend. He's wearing an outfit from Mattel's now defunct My Scene line of dolls. I kept several of the outfits, even though they didn't fit Ken. Now I'm glad I did. His glasses are from Integrity.

SO handsome. I can't believe he is still available on the Jamieshow website. He was my favorite of the men from the Dangerous Love collection.

Suited Mixing and Matching

My Jamieshow guys from the Dangerous Love collection doing a bit of mixing and matching with three of the suits I got, also from the same collection.

All pieces are from Jamieshow with the exception of the shirt Alejandro is wearing, which is from Integrity.

Daniel is modeling the suit from Look 3 paired with the tshirt from Look 2. Alejandro has on the suit from Look 1 paired with an Integrity tshirt, and Orlando is wearing Look 4's suit paired with the tshirt from Look 3.

What a group of handsome men! Full length so you can see the awesome shoes as well!

I look forward to Enchanted Orlando joining their ranks soon.

In the meantime a portrait shot of each of the guys.

And Orlando. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite.

Dangerous Love Take Two

 When I first blogged about the Dangerous Love collection from Jamieshow in my April 15th post, Orlando and Bella had not yet arrived, as I picked them up in the extras sale.  Both have since arrived and I've gotten to photograph them a little bit and I have to say I'm very happy I caved. I didn't take any photos of Orlando in his robe and shorts. I did however decide upon pulling him out of his box that he looked quite good bald, so for his first photo shoot I decided to leave the bald head cap on him. I also decided to mix and match the outfit pieces from a couple of different looks.

For the first outfit, Orlando chose the pants from Look 1 paired with the shirt from Look 4 and the shoes from Look 7.

And here he is in another mix and match  ensemble. For this outfit he chose to model the suit and shoes from Look 4 with the tshirt from Look 3. He is also wearing wig cap two in platinum.

I love that most all the fashions have multiple pieces that can be used to mix and match.

Bella arrived shortly after Orlando. Bella was one that I easily passed on in her promotional photos, but as I started seeing owner pics I decided I might have made a poor decision passing on her, and snapped her up when she became available as an "extra".  Her robe and panty set is in a nice cream shade. Here she is as she came out of the box.

I was also very lucky to snag the last two toned ponytail wig for her as well in the extras sale. I loved these wigs and was hoping all the colors would be available as extras, but I gambled wrong on this one and the silver/pink was the only one available. Hoping George/Owensu will bring this one back for restock as I REALLY wish I had gotten the black and blue one as well. Oh well, live and learn.

I think the silver with pink really suits Bella well.

I haven't played much with redressing Bella yet. 

I did however put her in this cute black/white Mattel dress for some quick shots with Orlando. I think they make a striking pair. 

A last artsy edit I did of them on that editing software that has been making its rounds across FB.

Stay tuned to the blog, you will definitely be seeing more of the JS Muses. My Enchanted preorder is due to ship the first part of June. Kate and Orlando will be making their way here from that collection, as well as a couple of the outfits, and I've been saving for some of those "extra's" as well.
