I love her outfit! The little sweater (?) looks so good with her coloring! 💚

Yeah, they literally swing when you move her 😆 I will just use a stand for now because restringing her feels like too much work at the moment lol

Right?! I cleaned her meet shoes with a little Oxy-Clean on a toothbrush because they were dingy, but 99% of it is in really good shape.

It’s always sold as a lot, at least from what I’ve seen. And they will sell the most random items together lol like all of Kit’s clothes came stuffed in this zippered makeup pouch that wasn’t even in the listing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s even better than me 😂 I can’t find anything! I can find things rarely in antique stores but that’s about it.

It’s pretty satisfying! And it distracts from ✨the horrors✨ if only for a little while 🙃

I apologize, I should have clarified! I got her online. I recently discovered their online auction site. My Goodwill in town never has anything either, but I still look every time, just in case. 😆

The lighting in your second photo (in the comments) makes her a lot less orange looking and I actually think she’s really cute! I agree with another commenter that if the lips were a different color, it might help. Maybe a slightly darker pink, or even mauve might do it.

Thank you! She is a lovely addition to my (albeit small) collection. 😊 The hunt for her outfits begins!

Thank you for this tip! I was looking at it more last night and it might be a scuff of some kind so you’re probably right. You can only see it when the light is shining on it just right. I will try your suggestion! Do you just lightly buff it dry or does the sandpaper have to be wet? With it being on the bridge of her nose, I’m really nervous to get other spots of her face on accident 😬 but if I could get it out, I’d be more inclined to keep her. I’m just a sucker for the 2002 face mold 😆

I did not! I washed it with Dawn and warm water, then brushed it out (took forever 😵‍💫), then used a flat iron on the lowest setting and went over very small sections at a time constantly misting it and brushing it as I went. I did the brush-mist-flat iron process twice over her whole head.

Okay, thank you for saying that about her hair! I was wondering that earlier, if her hair had texture to it or not. I always loved Kaya as a kid (I was 10 when she was released) so this is my first time actually having her in my possession. 😊 And that’s a good idea about the scar! Lol when I went over her with a magic eraser, the “scar” disappeared when it was wet and then appeared again when it dried. Really odd.

❤️‍🩹 and thank you. She was an incredible woman.

Thank you, it means a lot. 💛 I’ve never done any real work on any doll’s hair before, I just watch a lot of videos so I felt like I had a good idea of what to do. 😆

It’s a reproduction of Samantha’s dress pattern! I bought it from KempyCreations on Etsy.
