OOAK Barbie Dolls

Fixing up new or played-with dolls is one of my biggest passions. As I am a pretty visual person, the combination of being a make-up artist, hairdresser, stylist and photographer is very appealing to me. :) This gallery presents some of the dolls I fixed up & designed. They're 100% unique, so there is no more than 1 in the world. :) (OOAK = One Of A Kind)
Some of my creations are up for sale @ eBay!

Trivia

• I love re-styling old dolls! Giving them a new life makes me happy! :)
• All previously played dolls are carefully, yet thoroughly washed & imperfections are removed.
• I use top quality acrylic paints and sealers to repaint their faces.
• Some of the mini jewelry is created by me using specialized equipment.
• Haircuts are done with ultra sharp professional scissors.
• Re-roots are done with high quality saran or nylon hair.
• All photos are taken by Nikon D90 & post-processed with PhotoShop CS3.

Paris Photos #1

I'm back from Paris. I have one word to describe the 3-week experience: LEGEN...DARY! When I get old and emo, I will always remember this trip as one of the highlights of my life.

Paris really is a city full of wonders. I have to live there for a few years, for sure.

Jardin du Palais Royal








Hotel de Ville


Fontaine des Innocents by Les Halles

Off to Paris!

Life's crazy! I've had summer holidays for almost a month already, but it does not feel like that. There are still so many things to do everyday... (like watching 5 How I met your mother episodes in row...) Anyway dolls, I am off to Paris for one month to pimp my French. I'm sure I will come back smarter, happier and more beautiful in terms of Parisian charm (I wish :).

Oh and I have met one great photographer recently... I will show you the pictures we've done once I am back, for now here's a "making of" teaser. :)

Salut! À bientôt!
