What's bizarre with that? uh. asking for a friend...
Well just answering regarding those fake babies.
'Reborn' Baby Dolls
$5000??!! That's completely nutso.
Mine was <$20!
The order and details are so important.
Several years ago, I went in search of just the right doll for my outdoor Christmas manger display. When I found the perfect one for the job (i.e. vinyl only, articulated, blue eyes..), slight problem -- it was a "girl".
The facial features, however, were neutral, so...
A change of clothes to a blue "Mama's Boy" newborn onesie outfit, and Voila!
The real change effect concerns the hair, which is actually a cute design embossed into the vinyl. No hair but not bald, either.
I used two shades of orange Sharpies to trace and blend the lines and to soften the edges of the markings.
His hair is truly a work of art, even if I do say so myself.
And there you have it -- 'Reborn' Baby Doll, Ginger Jesus!
