Week 2 - Victoria Creeper

I decided that this blonde bombshell would be a great choice for the second entry of 'Doll of the Week'. I was quite surprised when a friend of mine who had never seen the dolls before picked her out as his favourite, and it got me thinking that this girl doesn't get the coverage she deserves.

Victoria's clothes are elegant yet edgey and, in my humble opinion, make her look like a female Willy Wonka minus the top hat. Her dazzling cropped light blonde hair really stands out against her gorgeous dark purple suit, making her look very different to the rest of the collection. She was also the first doll to have multiple facial piercings, so until the release of Series 3, that made her unique. Her lips are made more prominent by her very simple eye makeup which makes her look slightly ghostly.

Victoria has an alter ego. On my last birthday I received the varient version of Victoria with her black suit and shocking pink hair. She looks slightly less elegant than her blonde haired counterpart, but pink haired Victoria is a very fun looking doll. She's not available from the Official Site, but US collectors can find her here and UK collectors here.

Week 1 - Raven Dragonfire

This little lady was the first Bleeding Edge doll I ever bought and therefore has a very special place in my collection. From her black and purple hair down to her chunky boots, Raven Dragonfire is by far my favourite BEGoths doll. Even her name is perfect!

Although her over all style is very classical goth, there are some extra details that put a modern twist on her ensemble. The most noticeable of these is her bold makeup - this girl is very daring when it comes to eyeliner! Her corseted dress is also very detailed, one of the signiture marks of the fine craftsmanship of the company. Her contemporary fishnet gloves complete her outfit - it will never cease to impress me that they managed to make fishnet so miniture!

My overall thought is that this gorgeous doll is a must-have for any collection as she brings out all that is dark, mysterious and beautiful about gothic fashion!
