My new Momoko girl Madalaine arrived yesterday. She's sweet as sweet can be!

This is the first picture I took of her. I took it as a quickie for the Friday Night Chat on Dolly Daily. I generally don't use those types of pics for anything but the chat and take better pics later, but I liked this one pic so much that I had to keep it. I hadn't even put her stand together yet, so I had to kneel her down on a CD jewel case. I think she looks like a sweetheart

Madalaine is actually named after the Winger song, Madalaine! I had this song in mind before I got her. I thought she was going to be a wild girl, but that's apparently not the case. I still loved the name, though, so I decided to keep it.

Here she is playing with her hair. She has a cute little hairdo, I think. It's very short but also very girlish. Her bangs are absolutely perfect.

Unfortunately, I don't like her outfit very much. I have a hard time keeping the metal straps over her shoulders. They originally came tied together in the back. It probably would have been a good idea to not cut that string. Oh well. The top hooks together in the back with two little round buttons and two thin loops of strings. I can't keep the lower one together. Overall, the top is too poofy for my tastes. The rest of her outfit is all right. She has a basic black skirt and a classy pair of high heels. I'll probably change her clothes very soon, though.

I absolutely love my little Madalaine! It's funny, other people sometimes talk about how Momoko dolls all look so young like they're 12 years old or something. I always thought they were wrong. All of my other Momokos are 15 or 16 to me, but Madalaine looks so young compared to my other Momokos. She has an adorable look of wide-eyed wonder that doesn't appear on any of my other Momokos. So cute!
