Introducing: ASHLEIGH AQUA; Little Big Eyes doll

My VERY FIRST, so of course she is special in that way ...

ASHLEIGH AQUA:  My very first Blythe CLONE doll;  a LITTLE BIG EYES doll, by Streetwise Designs, 2001

As mentioned, her face, her pout reminded me of a very young girl ... Named Ashley ... who left this earth in 2004, and had a MUCH bigger impact than she could, in her young 19 years, EVER imagine, on people she barely even knew.  My last view of her … sadly … well, let’s just say, she looked just like this, and that is why, any modifications to her face will be very minimal.  Nothing too drastic.

Actual auction site photo:  Her outfit was a black long sleeve slinky tee;  hideous gold pleather type pants;  black ankle boots;  and her straight black hair in bangs, tacked down by factory plastic ties, etc.

The “Leigh” portion of her name is for THE BEST MOST TRUE FRIEND I have EVER had.  She would NEVER, EVER even THINK of throwing me away.  No matter WHAT.

“Aqua” is for the name I made up when Jason was little … it was a contender for the next kid I never had.

Hideous "factory" / stock GREEN EYE CHIPS.  This "deer in the headlights" is precisely WHY these dolls get their eyechips changed!  Geez ...

After spending the better part of TEN YEARS inside their factory boxes, these LITTLE BIG EYES dolls, who came out in 2001, were ready for some pampering.  As each one arrived, she had a little spa robe, and maybe even a little "pet friend" to welcome her to MY HOME.   I DO love them so.
