It's Been a Real Slice September: Fixing Up My 15" Applause Meg


My first post for this just had to be Meg related, didn't it? ;) 

A while ago I ordered a beautiful 15 inch Meg off of eBay. I'd really wanted this doll but wasn't willing to spend $100 to get her NIB... lo and behold, a TLC one popped up for auction and I won her for around $40!! I got her for just under retail!

She was a little grubby and her hair was a little matted.




I took her ponytail out to try and fix her hair.



She has the strangest rooting pattern I've ever seen on a doll- around her short curly poof is a big bald circle!! What on earth??


I wiped her body down with a Lysol wipe and brushed her hair out with an AG wig brush and TADA! She's perfect! I also made her shoes using cardboard and discarded ribbon, which I painted gold.









I know, I know, I shouldn't take doll
pix from this angle, but I couldn't resist!





What do you think of my newest beauty?

  2. Oh wow, I didn't know they made a doll like this of Meg! Her eyes are just amazing. I like the sandals you made for her, too!

    1. I discovered her about a year ago, but like I said there were only two on eBay, both NIB, one for $100 and one for $150. Since she only retailed for about $40 when she was new, I wasn't willing to spend that when lo and behold this one popped up on eBay! Her eyes are definitely her best feature!! Thank you, they were really easy and I'm very pleased with how they came out!

  3. I didn't know that this doll existed, to tell the truth. She is a really nice addition to your collection. I wonder whar Meg will say when she meets her. But she is more Annas size.

    1. She's fairly uncommon, so I'm not surprised. Thank you! She and Meg are actually standing near each other right now (of course, they're on my floor because I'm in the middle of reorganizing) and they seem to be getting along. She and Anna are very close in size and I think they may end up being friends.

    2. Well, Anna can talk about almost everything with Olaf but there are a few girly things she'd rather share with Meg :) But that's just my guess. WHo know, maybe Olaf likes to talk about fashion and finery very much.

    3. Who knows? I suppose we'll find out!
