Yogalicious

A few weeks ago Debbie Garrett of Black Doll Collecting sent me two of these fashion doll heads:


These are the first black dolls we have seen in Dollar Tree in about five years.  I had already snapped up six of them but I was delighted to have more.  I just wish they had been available in May before the Atlanta Doll Collector's show.  It would have saved me from having to paint the white ones I bought to serve as wig models.

I like the face mold in both the red-headed and African American versions so I quickly promoted one of the ones I received from Debbie to a dark Liv Alexis body.  Next thing you know she's hosting a Yoga show!  Introducing Bea Garrett in "Yogalicious:"

  1. The moment I saw the fashion styling heads at Dollar General, I thought about you, Paulette and knew you would be able to put them to good use.

    A few weeks later, I went back and purchased two more, one for myself and one for someone else. I almost panicked on the second trip because I only found one and thought I would have to choose between giving that one away as planned or keeping it for myself. Fortunately after some digging around in the bin, I found another one.

    Bea Garrett is beautiful and very flexible with her new body. I enjoyed her Yogalicious video and will have to try some of those positions with the Yoga mat purchased two or three months ago that remains in its original packaging along with the separately purchased Yoga DVD.

    Trying yoga as a form of nonstrenuous exercise has been on my to do list for quite some time. I am now motivated to just do it, thanks to the lovely Bea Garrett.

    In addition to her name, I love Bea's hair, too!

    1. In case someone needs these, Dollar Tree (not Dollar General) is where the fashion styling heads were purchased.

    1. Hi Marta,

      thanks for you compliments. I got a new computer and this was my first video using the new version of iMovie. The music is a royalty free loop from Garage Band.

    1. Hi Vanessa,

      My ladies have been enjoying these curly lock wigs. Bea had to fight to get the one she is wearing in the video.

  4. Thanks for this cool video. I took yoga for a brief time - I love seeing that Liv body execute those moves so smoothly.

    The wig gives Bea a classy look.

    1. Hi D7ana,

      Yoga moves were almost the first poses I tried with my first Liv doll. Someday I would like to make a real stop motion video of Liv dolls doing Yoga.

    1. Hi Georgia Girl,

      Bea's outfit was another $1 find from the May 20th doll show. It's a little roomy up top but compliments her complexion well.

  7. I really enjoyed the video. I bought one of the heads,just because. I guess I got it because it was so rare to see black dolls in the dollar tree.
    Your video is so entertaining! Thanks for that. :-)

    1. Hi Grandmommy,

      Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully, if enough people buy the black dolls, Dollar Tree will get the message that they sell and will start stocking them on a regular basis again. Thanks for supporting the cause!
