Meet Bristol~ NEW DOLL!

Hey everyone!  GUESS WHAT?! I have a new doll! She is a custom doll. Here is her story:

I had decided it was time for a new doll, and I was trying to decide which one I wanted. Then on Google+, I saw a photo of a woman with blue ombre hair. I thought that was super cool, and asked my friend Juliet from Chestnut Street if she had any ideas on how to make a doll like that. she told me to check Etsy for wigs. Sure enough, there was a blue wig that I liked! The only problem was, I didn't have a doll to wear the wig. So I kept checking Ebay every day, and one day, I finally found a doll I liked who was a good price and could easily be fixed. This was a used Pre-Mattel JLY #25. So I bought the wig and the doll. The total for both of those was $85- $65 for the doll and $20 for the wig. So when both things came, I set to work! More on that later... now for the finished doll!

And in case you didn't remember from reading the title, her name is Bristol. Her personality:

Bristol is a funky teenage girl who loves to draw, paint, or do any type of art in general. Her blue hair was inspired by her love of art, and though it may seem different from everyone else, it's who she is and she loves it!

Yes, I know the blue hair is a little out-there, but I like it! 

I'm so happy to have a new addition to my doll family- she'll add a bit of spunk to my collection!

Which Doll?

So, as y'all may know, I am saving up for a doll to be purchased later this year. Originally I was going to get Isabelle, but I have been having second thoughts... So I need y'all's opinions! I have some other dolls on my list, so here goes...

1. Caroline- I have been warming up to Caroline ever since she came out. I really love her curls and her eyes are just so beautiful... but the only problem is her curls. Most of my dolls have curly/wavy hair (of course, not that curly). But, I think that she would be a really great addition to my collection, and I would like to have a historical.

2. MAG #40- As a few of you may know, I LOVE anime (Japanese animations) and manga (Japanese comics), so I am a Japanese freak. ;) This doll is Asian (duh) so I could make her Japanese... Which I think would be really cool- she could watch anime, read manga, make and eat sushi... and I could get her some kimonos! :D The problem is... she has dark hair. All of my dolls have brown hair, soooooo.... yeah. 

3. Isabelle- Yep, she's still on my list. I love her, but her hazel eyes...no more hazel eyes in this doll family! And... the price. $10 more is a lot for just a hair extension, which I already have ones for Liz and Kanani. She's definitely not the highest on my list.

4. Felicity- Yes, I know she is retired, but I've always had a thing for miss Felicity. I love the colonial time period, and Felicity's collection is really cute (especially her fancy blue dress, absolutely love that). I would probably get her off Ebay, unless she is the doll that AG is un-archiving...

5. Elizabeth- I like Elizabeth, too. Not as much as Felicity, but she is a very pretty doll. I LOVE her meet outfit, too. I like her for the same reasons as Felicity... and I love both of their pin curls. :) I would also get her from Ebay.

That's pretty much all the dolls I would like to choose from, so, as I said before, I really need some help choosing. Tell me which doll you think I should get! Thanks!
