Family portrait, February 2024

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.

1. Kid Kore Kelsey with titian hair. Fully intended to be my only original-flava Kelsey ever, since IMHO she's the best Kelsey.
2. 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.
3. Manbun Ken, a.k.a. Kenzo. 
4. 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.
5. Kid Kore Kelsey with inset eyes, now named Kenzie. This is a late 1990s iteration of the Kelsey idea.
6. 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.

1. Dollar Tree knee-jointed Black fashion doll with replacement Monique wig, named Delilah.
2. Dollar Tree knee-jointed Black fashion with darker skin, straight ponytail, and excellent shades, now named Joy. Second daughter of Delilah.
3. Elspeth, consisting of a white-label clone head, an AliExpress jointed pregnancy body, and a Monique wig. Wife of Kenzo.
4. Fashionista Teresa from 2012. Half-sister of Kenzo.
5. Totsy Teen Fun Lacey from 1990s. Sister of Sylvester.
6. Cool Sitter Teen Skipper from 1998, girlfriend of Lacey.
7. Kid Kore Baby Allison. Daughter of Sylvester, niece of Lacey.
8. 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.

1. Wulf, Kenzo's dog. A Target Xmas ornament some time between 2018 and 2021.
2. Ben, a Kid Kore Katie who's socially transitioned to being a guy. Younger brother of Kelsey.
3. Tigger, Sylvester's tiger.
4. Evi Love, youngest daughter of Delilah. 
5. Neveah, a Kid Kore Jodi of the early 2000s.
6. Simply Fresh Kylie on a MTM body. Oldest daughter of Delilah, half-sister of Kenzo, mother of Neveah.
7. Bette Mae, niece of Brodie. A Kid Kore "Dancing Brook." Officially Seminole.
8. Mr. Peabody, pet dog of Skipper's family.
9. Brooke, my first Kid Kore "Dancing Brook." Younger sister of Brodie.
10. Rosa Lee, a Romany Kid Kore Katie.
11. Kelly, younger sister of Skipper.
12. Lucky, a Lucky Industries Tommy clone. Younger brother of Lacey and Sylvester.
13. 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.
14. 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.
