What Fashion Victims Sadie COULD Have Been, Part 2: The Custom Doll!

In the first part of this project, I detailed the concept and the doll I was building my fashion Sadie upon. Here, it's the customization and result!

There will be some exploration of mature clothing themes in this post, mixed with slasher horror imagery.

What Fashion Victims Sadie COULD Have Been, Part 1: Finding and Reviewing a Barbie Base

It's been a while since I talked about Living Dead Dolls. 

Sadie's Deathday Party (LDD Roundup #15)

 It's April 26, and you know what that means: it's Sadie's deathday!

Warning for very irreverent use of grim imagery.

Eggy's Easter Hunt

Easter is pretty darn low on my list of holidays personally. I don't love the pastel aesthetics and cutesy animals, but it can still be fun to get festive. I'd been thinking of using Living Dead Dolls' character Eggzorcist, the Easter bunny girl, as a holiday feature since her Return doll was revealed...but she shipped in autumn so that plan was a bust. I thought of doing something the next spring, but sacrificed the idea to keep my schedule lighter, along with discarding the "Sadie's deathday party" idea for the same reason. Now, though? Now, I could. (And I plan to do the Sadie project too!)

The Living Dead Dolls Fashion Victims, Part 1: What in Damnation Was Mezco Doing?

This deep dive has been waiting for a while. I've name-dropped the Fashion Victims many times in prior LDD reviews, and couldn't get through three dolls in my second uncomfortable-LDD review without mentioning them in each doll's section. Well, now it's time. This is not quite an uncomfortable discussion, though it will, in part, be a companion to my uncomfortable-LDD series since it's not quite a comfortable discussion, either. This first part will be a close companion piece to that series, though I expect to drop that distinction after part 1. This doll line from LDD is a question of redesigns, gender/sexual/body politics, possible petty beef, and tonal concerns. These dolls are fascinating on multiple levels, arguably for more wrong reasons than right! This is not my typical subject matter, but the mature topics are absolutely unavoidable with these Living Dead Dolls items that got my attention and I think the subject is worthwhile. If any young readers somehow stumble onto this blog and see this post...I mean, you and I both know I can't stop you from reading. But this is more adult subject matter.

Warning for mature discussions, exaggerated unsexy sexual imagery and sexual jokes in poor taste, and big rubbery doll breasts with nipples.

Logic and Proportion Have Fallen Sloppy Dead: A "Living Dead Dolls in Wonderland" Sadie Alice Extravaganza!

My next LDD in Wonderland doll is actually the choice that would have made sense to start the look at the collection--Alice, played by one Living Dead Dolls Sadie. 

A Deathday Party Celebration (LDD Roundup #10)

It's my birthday time, and I wanted to put on a little production for it since I had so much fun pushing out Christmas spirit this past December. My actual birthday was on the 20th, but the logistics of one doll arriving led me to allow this project to be flexible on time, and then I took some extra work hours during the week that also got in the way, so it happened later. I'm fine with it; I just really wanted the time to set up and enjoy this. This was intended to be LDD Roundup 11 because I had 10 all purchased and ready to put out before this one, but delays ended up making this one Roundup 10 instead, despite most of the dolls joining my collection after the dolls that will be in Roundup 11. Oh, well. It certainly fits the milestone number better for this to be a big event!

Back for more!

Back to more work! 

Exhumed Once More: Living Dead Dolls Resurrection II Sadie by Mezco Toyz

This was the final gift I packed into the DEADvent Calendar, and she's a seriously major acquisition.

Sadie's Living Dead Dollhouse, Part 1

With DEADvent finished and 2025 started, it's about time to begin spilling the beans on a big project! It's been so hard teasing pieces I've made without context, but it just wasn't right to start publishing until I was done with my 2024 business! If you've seen lots of interesting little things posted to my Instagram story and wondered, here's your context. And oh boy.

Wrapping Up DEADvent

What a haul! 

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 13!

 Merry Christmas at last!

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 12

 It's Christmas Eve, and excitement is nearing its peak!

God Damn Us Every One: A Living Dead Dolls Christmas Carol

Apologies for the shocking title. It's extreme, but we know that's what LDD is too, and it felt like a fitting edgy pun on the famous quote. All in jest. It makes me laugh, at least.

When researching LDD Minis for my Lottie extravaganza, I was surprised to discover a set that was never documented on the LDD website--Minis based on the Four Ghosts from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol!

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 11

There's something a little sad about approaching the end of a gift calendar, because the fun is nearly all had...but Sadie's excitement prevailed.

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 10

Time for Day 10! What--or who--is it this time?

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 9

Time for Day 9!

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 8

Sadie had quite a spectacular time with Nohell, so she was wondering what could possibly follow.

The DEADvent Calendar: Day 7

It's Day 7, and...what is going on here?
