I'm a Pretty Little Black Girl, Two

I'm a Pretty Little Black Girl Mia is an 18-inch-tall doll designed by Betty K. Bynum and manufactured by Madame Alexander.

Released in 2015, I purchased the first I'm a Pretty Little Black Girl Mia in June of that year as a birthday gift for my then-10-year-old niece. I had planned to buy another one for my collection, and recently completed that task after finding one for a very reasonable price. The second doll did not include the box, which I don't need or desire since I've already seen and photographed my niece's never-removed-from-box doll; and as I always say, "I collect dolls, not boxes." 

Mia is a pretty little black girl doll.

Mia is as adorable outside the box as I remembered. I recorded her spreadsheet details as follows:

Description

18-inch vinyl doll with a brown cloth mid-body, rooted black hair styled in two fat plaits with curly ends, brown sleep eyes with attached bristle eyelashes and painted upper and lower eyelashes, closed mouth with puckered lips. The yellow and pink sleeveless top with a ruffled hemline is worn with pink cuffed Capri pants and pink platform-heeled sandals.

Mia represents the main character in the book, I'm a Pretty Little Black Girl by Betty K. Bynum.

For this picture, Mia posed with the separately sold book written about her.

I purchased the book for my collection the day after Mia was purchased. The book arrived first, which heightened my anticipation for the doll's arrival. She came the following day.

Mia has settled in nicely and found two other 18-inch Madame Alexander doll friends. They took several photographs together. 

Mia befriended Patience and Passion, two of the first 18-inch Madame Alexander dolls that entered the collection in 2011 and 2009.

Passion, the doll on the left, is from the Friends Boutique 18-inch Madame Alexander doll series. Her vinyl legs are posable. Patience, the doll on the right, is from the Friends 4 Life 18-inch Madame Alexander doll series.  They are both redressed in fashions sewn by my husband at my request. 

 

Passion, Mia, and Patience pose for a close-up photo.

I used a lighter background for the last two photos of the girls after they assumed this accidental pose that I thought was cute. 

I moved the dolls from one chair to another, and their placement was a pose that I wanted to capture, especially with Pretty Little Black Girl Mia asserting her dominance. 

This close-up photo captures their final pose before they returned to their display area.
