Naturalistas Crown Collection Paige

Naturalistas Paige

After publishing two Natualistas doll installations in the Virtual Black Doll Museum (for a total of three dolls) and later viewing an Instagram post about Naturalistas Paige, I added Paige to my Naturalistas collection. Her auburn, 3C textured hair also influenced the purchase. Paige is from the third wave of Naturalistas, which have extra articulation at the elbows, wrists, and knees.

Paige's auburn hair has a slight wavy curl pattern; it extends to her upper thighs.

She has brown-painted eyes and a closed mouth with nude lip color.

Paige wears an N-logoed, pink spandex top and matching pants; plastic N-logo'd  silver circular earrings, and a silver bangle bracelet. Her pink high-top sneakers are attached to the cellophane lining.

An image of Paige, her bio, motto, descriptions of her hairstyle and hair type, and images of the other dolls in Wave 3 (the Crown Collection), are featured on the back of the box.

Bio: Paige is an Oakland native with a line of natural hair care products, Naturalistas® "ICONIC" Hair System. Paige uses natural ingredients to produce products that support natural hair nurturing and health.

Motto: "Like A Flower, Natural Hair Needs Love and Nutrients To Grow!"

Hairstyle: Wash n' Go Ponytail with Tendrils

Hair Type: 3C

The other dolls in this collection are Kelsey, Liya, Dayna, and Whitney. Dayna and Whitney's VBDM installation is published here. Greg, from the Fade Collection, is the museum's other Naturalistas installation. 

Designed to celebrate children with coily, curly, loc'd, and naturally textured hair, Naturalistas were created by the founder of Purpose Toys, LLC, DeeDee Wright-Ward, whose image and bio are also on the back of Paige's box (but not captured in the image above).
