A few months ago, Naomi bought the red-haired Fashionista doll and the one with long rooted hair. These days if she sees a male fashion doll that she thinks she might be able to restyle she buys him and puts him aside for later and that’s what happened with these two. There was a plan for the redhead, he was to receive a wig and he was given the name Bill.
Every time Naomi came to Sisters Beach, she brought a car load of her belongings including her fashion dolls, clothing and props. Naturally she thought that Bill must be amongst these things but she couldn’t find him. I was pretty sure that I had not seen him. I had moved a few things around, taking out dolls or clothes to be photographed and generally rearranging the shelves but I saw no sign of the plastic shopping bag that Naomi said that she had put Bill in. It worried me a lot. I kept thinking that maybe I had seen the bag and put it somewhere and forgotten about it, even though I had no visual memory of seeing either Bill or his long-haired friend. “Where is Bill?” became a frequent topic of conversation.
Months passed and eventually Naomi got fed up and bought another redhead. She didn’t worry about replacing the Fashionista as she didn’t like him as much. The new doll was deboxed, given the name of Maxxon, and redressed. Guess what happened then? Yes, Bill turned up at her house back in Oatlands. I was very relieved that my memory had not been playing tricks on me.
So now Bill could get his wig and be redressed; as soon as Naomi remembered where she put the wig.
Dolls, Dolls, Dolls 
Sounds like a good name for a mystery. Where’s Bill! Glad you found him. I don’t much like the fashionista males though their clothes are nicely put together and they seem to have good shoes.

We are not crazy about them either. Naomi really only buys the ones with conservative hairstyles, especially if she plans to put wigs on them. “Man Bun” Ken for example is hopeless. You can’t restyle him unless you are willing to cut the bun off leaving a hole in his head. We don’t really like the face styling on a lot of them either but Bill/Maxxon has lovely blue eyes and a pale skin tone. His looks are more classic than trendy. Most Fashionistas are too trendy for us.

Love this doll, red haired males are so rare, but finding an affordable articulated body for him would be a nightmare as he’s so pale, so I left him. Sigh.

I put him on the male BMR1959 doll on a made to move body, the guy wearing the orange hoodie. I’m very happy with him now.

Wendy, that sounds perfect. Those BMR dolls didn’t make it here and buying from OS is just too expensive. 😦

It’s almost impossible to get anything like that here. We have K Mart, Target and Toyworld in Burnie but even they don’t have much so we do end up buying online a lot.

Actually, I’ve forgotten – I used the red haired BMR1959 doll. I bought several of him for all my pale guys who needed articulated bodies.

Red haired BMR has got a good skin tone for rebodying the paler guys.

Would have loved to do that too, but I bought mine cost me $60+ so too expensive just for body swapping. 😦

Yes, it is so rare to find a redhead male. I don’t know why. I agree he would be hard to rebody. Maybe the Twilight dolls? Or are they paler. I’ll have to compare. Naomi doesn’t tend to rebody because she doesn’t like the articulated joints very much.

I don’t think the Twilight dolls are articulated.
I know I bought several at a warehouse sale for $5 or $10 just for the clothes and gave the dolls away, lol. The Dumbledore body might work, although chubby and not quite as pale, but finding one cheap is the problem.

No, they are Basics bodies I think.

LOL – Sounds like what happens at my house. As soon as I stop looking for something – or replace it – the lost item turns up. Bill is probably glad to have a twin, and Maxxon looks fab in his new outfit.

Now we just have to remember where we put the wigs. The wig supplier has gone out of business so we won’t be able to replace those so easily.

This “tale of two Bills” is so recognisable! I loose dolls and accessories all the time. Maxxon looks cool in his new outfit.

Classic. I think I might have him too but hopefully in storage. l like the straight leg dolls as they are relatively easy to dress. Fun stuff. Finding dolls are fun. Great blog.
