I used a Madame Alexander Friends 4 Life doll (this was the 18" doll line released at Walmart the year before the Friends Boutique dolls in 2009). She had brown eyes and short, wavy, light brown hair. I actually found one on eBay...here's where you can see her (you can copy and paste the address): http://www.ebay.com/itm/MADAME-ALEXANDER-DOLL-AMERICAN-GIRL-LOOK-ALIKE-18-/120943111347?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c28c56cb3#ht_500wt_1413 <br /><br />I cut off her hair and re-wigged her with a Blythe doll wig made by shopoholican on eBay. Here's the web address to the wig she currently has that's the closest to the one I used...it's not quite the same(more curly than wavy), but it's similar: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Curly-Long-Cute-Hair-Wig-12-Blythe-Doll-/180903948807?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2a1eb73207#ht_1497wt_1163<br /><br />Hope this helps! :)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-70033416801013725582012-07-06T20:11:01.022-07:002012-07-06T20:11:01.022-07:00Please tell me who makes the "Zaara doll"...Please tell me who makes the "Zaara doll" She looks like my granddaughter and I would love find her.

I think the special you're talking about is the one my aunt ordered for us. It was a great way to try lots of different foods. <br /><br />Yeah, it would be a bit of a commute to come eat Indian food with you...we live in California. :}Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-10119627465190663642011-01-30T09:02:34.418-08:002011-01-30T09:02:34.418-08:00If you do go directly to the restaurant let the wa...If you do go directly to the restaurant let the waiter know you are a newbie and that you prefer milder foods. Sometimes if you are new and they want you to come back in the future they will give you little samples or freebies of different dishes to try. They also may have some sort of variety plate that gives you a little of everything. My favourite has a special if you have two people go that's like a "date meal" and you each get an appetizer and desert of your choice and then you split a main dish (but it's like served family style serve yourself from bowls) all for about $20 including drinks. You're right, it sounds like your and and I would get along great! I'm guessing you guys aren't near me in Missouri though! :(Koriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860954806927022666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-46651925274386571232011-01-25T06:35:47.746-08:002011-01-25T06:35:47.746-08:00Wow, thanks Korianne!

You make me want to go to an Indian restaurant and try things again. :) I now remember my aunt calling the tortilla things "naan"...those were really good. And the dessert was so amazing! I'm not really into spicy food, so I'll be sure to take your advice if I try the samosa. Thanks for all of the correct names. :) It sounds like you and my aunt should get together for a night of Indian cuisine! :)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-19070252920951037982011-01-25T02:20:39.853-08:002011-01-25T02:20:39.853-08:00I am so jealous of your aunt and you right now! Ch...I am so jealous of your aunt and you right now! Chana masala (the veggie version of your chicken made with chickpeas) is my favourite dish. I always get it with a mango lassi or a sweet lassi (the technical term for the yogurt drink you had, the sweet lassi just doesn't have fruit in it like the mango one) and sometimes I get naan bread too which I can tell your aunt thought of! :) I'm guessing your dessert was gulab jabun and all I can say is YUMMY! I usually get kheer at my fave Indian restaurant which is an Indian rice pudding, but mostly that's because I'm too full for gulab jabun. I need to go there and JUST get dessert one of these days but it's difficult when there are so many tasty things on the menu! If you like spicy things (well most Indian restaurants have spicy and mild versions) and want to try an appetizer or tiffin (it means light lunch) I'd suggest a samosa, if you are shy to the spice don't dip it in the chutney as much though. Ok... now I'm extremely hungry and craving Indian food. I best be off!Koriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860954806927022666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-36999773884500031652011-01-24T16:44:16.617-08:002011-01-24T16:44:16.617-08:00Thanks, Caelen. :) I got it from Carpatina dolls ...Thanks, Caelen. :) I got it from Carpatina dolls on eBay.
