Ebony and Ivory, my new jewelry models. Aren't they pretty? (although I wish they were people-colored). Look just like me, except without heads and arms. Or a backside. And the boobs are about four inches higher than mine.

It's a nice, nearly matte plastic finish. I didn't want shiny. I do so wish they were less literally black and white though, and more people-colored. Anybody know a good paint, one you can mix, for plastic? I doubt Krylon spray paint comes in Western European and African American.
I was going to get a very nice cloth covered one, but that would have been about $100 all told. I might still one day. But these were only $5.95 apiece, figured I'd give them a shot. I love that they have collar bones! And that little hollow at your throat. Of course they'll be modestly, but chicly (is that a word?) clothed.
If they don't work out, they'd be great for a chip bowl at a Superbowl party.

Chip bowl! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThose girls are definitely perkier than my 41 year old "girls"! Thanks for making me laugh! Enjoy the day! Erin
LOL. You crack me up. 4 inches higher. And, a chip bowl.... You could do a decoupage or cover them with fabric. I know I have pins for dress form redo's, maybe on my Dress Forms board, or DIY, or Jewelry Project... I don't remember. Anyway, love the post.
ReplyDeleteI'm Belle West on Pinterest if you want to hunt those down. :)
