While I was tidying the cabinet where I keep fashion dolls, I posed the entire gang for a family portrait.
Back row, L to R.
- Kid Kore Kelsey with titian hair. Fully intended to be my only original-flava Kelsey ever, since IMHO she's the best Kelsey.
- Kid Kore "Legends of Ancient Lands" blond gladiator, now named Sylvester, with the widest hips ever. I'm not looking forward to fitting pants on him; maybe he'd like to wear kilts.
- Manbun Ken, a.k.a. Kenzo.
- Kid Kore "Chief White Eagle" in his Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt, called Brodie by most friends outside his tribe. His hips are not quite as wide as Sylvester's.
- Kid Kore Kelsey with inset eyes, now named Kenzie. This is a late 1990s iteration of the Kelsey idea.
- Remco Babysitter's Club Kristy, younger sister of Kenzie. Kristy creates the dilemma that I now kind of want a Claudia (the Asian one), but their bodies are so meh and there's not a good substitute that keeps them young and short.
Center row, L to R.
- Dollar Tree knee-jointed Black fashion doll with replacement Monique wig, named Delilah.
- Dollar Tree knee-jointed Black fashion with darker skin, straight ponytail, and excellent shades, now named Joy. Second daughter of Delilah.
- Elspeth, consisting of a white-label clone head, an AliExpress jointed pregnancy body, and a Monique wig. Wife of Kenzo.
- Fashionista Teresa from 2012. Half-sister of Kenzo.
- Totsy Teen Fun Lacey from 1990s. Sister of Sylvester.
- Cool Sitter Teen Skipper from 1998, girlfriend of Lacey.
- Kid Kore Baby Allison. Daughter of Sylvester, niece of Lacey.
- Creata Today's Girl Hilary. Younger sister of both Kenzie and Kristy. Grateful to have a name that doesn't start with K. When I bought her, I was so besotted with the look that I expected to get more of her size, but so far, I've resisted.
Front row, L to R.
- Wulf, Kenzo's dog. A Target Xmas ornament some time between 2018 and 2021.
- Ben, a Kid Kore Katie who's socially transitioned to being a guy. Younger brother of Kelsey.
- Tigger, Sylvester's tiger.
- Evi Love, youngest daughter of Delilah.
- Neveah, a Kid Kore Jodi of the early 2000s.
- Simply Fresh Kylie on a MTM body. Oldest daughter of Delilah, half-sister of Kenzo, mother of Neveah.
- Bette Mae, niece of Brodie. A Kid Kore "Dancing Brook." Officially Seminole.
- Mr. Peabody, pet dog of Skipper's family.
- Brooke, my first Kid Kore "Dancing Brook." Younger sister of Brodie.
- Rosa Lee, a Romany Kid Kore Katie.
- Kelly, younger sister of Skipper.
- Lucky, a Lucky Industries Tommy clone. Younger brother of Lacey and Sylvester.
- Isabelle, a Kid Kore Katie. Younger sister of Lacey and Sylvester, older sister of Lucky. It should be apparent that instead of buying more Today's Girls, I became addicted to Kid Kore Katies.
- Joelly, a Kid Kore Jodi with brown-red hair. Younger sister of Kenzie and Kristy. I thought when I bought her for $1 at the Alameda Point Antiques Fair that she was titian-haired and would be my sole Jodi as younger sister to Kelsey and Ben, but her hair is browner.
