Maggie May - Hotel Comforts - Swimming and Reading

I found an Iplehouse SID Carved Heritage Harace for sale. I had actually seen her on offer last year, but I decided to pass on her even though I was tempted. I figured she sold, but I saw her up for sale again last month. I decided to get her. I love the Harace sculpt. I've admired BJD knitter Olga Borontova's Harace, Margo, for years. I'm so smitten by Margo! I am now being smitten by my own Harace. I decided to name her Maggie May as a tribute to the Rod Stewart song. Maggie has the older SID body, but she's different from my SID Eva. Maggie has the standard thigh. I like the smoothness of it, but I really like to be able to swivel Eva's legs which I can't really do with Maggie. Pros and cons. Also, Maggie has what Iplehouse calls the small bust. I don't know about that. It seems more medium sized to me, but that's the smallest that was offered with that body, with no actual medium option in the middle. I'll have to get my large bust SID Eva alongside Maggie sometime. In any case, I like that I'll have more options for clothes. Eva overstuffs some clothes. I picked up a wig for her recently, too. It's hard to get the part positioned just right, but I'll get the hang of it. Gluing one of the magnets will help, too. The frigid temperature probably contributed to it dislodging.

I took these photos as an idea of Maggie returning to her hotel room after enjoying the heated pool at the hotel. Fancy! Then she changed into her sweater (of course it's from Olga!) and read the rest of the night. I like some of the photos, not so much the others, but I'm still getting used to photographing Maggie. Her eyes are positioned looking off to the side like a Momoko doll. That's unusual for a BJD for me. I may adjust them, but not right now.

I'm still not sure what Maggie's character will be. I think she's going to be a single lady, at least for a while. It's been a long time since I had a single lady BJD. I think it'll be interesting to explore Maggie's single life in my world of BJDs that are paired off. Maybe she'll meet someone and find love someday, but that's for the future.
