I keep finding and buying...

Found at thrift store, ©2008 Chic doll

...these copyright 2008 Chic dolls.  This is the second one with this complexion that I have found at the local thrift store.  One with a darker complexion was found first and another like this newest-one-to-me was found next.

All three have the same head sculpt.  The one on the far right has the deepest complexion.

Bushy hair in need of taming

Because of her coarse, slightly unruly, poor quality hair, I gave this one a boil perm after saturating the hair with mousse and rolling it using pipe cleaners cut into several, approximately 2-inch pieces.

Hair has been rolled and ready to be dipped into a cup of boiled water for a few seconds.

I used mousse because wetting the hair alone would not give the hair the necessary slip to smooth it out and help the pipe cleaners remain in place.

After dipping the head into a cup of boiled water, the pipe cleaners remained in place for 24 hours while the hair air dried.

Pipe cleaners have been removed.  Finger combing was done next.

Hair has been finger combed and doll dressed in a Sparkle Girlz fashion.

Because of her super thin body, I dressed her in a Sparkle Girlz fashion, the shorts of which are a little large.  Her new companion, who has now been dressed, loves her new look. 

Chic Boutique doll poses with new beau, who has been identified as a Super Star Ken Clone or KC.  KC wears Cali Guy Steven's fashion (who is now Happy Family Birthday Grandpa.  Remember him?).
