Fickle me

With the actual possibility of getting a doll, I went internet surfing again.  I was just looking at wigs and clothes and such, but something unexpected happened.  Darae was replaced as the doll of my dreams.
This is Dollzone 1/4 doll Shoyo.  I know why I passed her by while I was searching before.  The way her eyes are positioned in the company pictures just made her look goofy to me.  But I saw differently styled pictures of her, and fell in love.  This is why:
*She has that gentle smile I love (seriously, so many of the dolls look so sad or grumpy.  I guess its the model look, but I don't like it.) with such elegant facial features.
*I could picture her so many ways.  With Darae, I imagined I would customize her to look the way I wanted and she would stay that way.  With Shoyo, I can imagine all kinds of hair and costume changes and poses and settings. A different look every day.  LOL!
*When I saw her properly, she was simply enchanting.  Seriously, that's the word that comes to mind.  Enchanting.

 This is a special edition of her that Dollzone made that came with cat ears and bunny ears.  I don't want that (plus, its sold out), but these pictures show you how she looks with another costume, hair, and her eyes set differently.
I found tons of owner photographs as well.  I think it is really important to look at those if you want to buy one of these dolls, because they can look so different with a few changes.  It's why people love them so much.  The endless customizing possibilities.

And I've already decided on her name.  Orange!  Okay, not surprising, but it did take some thought.  I was also considering Opal and Olivia (what's with the O's?).  But I just think the personality in the name Orange is what I am going for.
