To be clear, I don't think that doll looks the least bit dumb, but was taking off on Kerouac's remark to make a "dumb blonde" joke.
I love her. As I said earlier, she is certainly part of the Cheery Dolls, but just a different take. Really, there could be as many different Cheery dolls as there are people in the world.

She's amazing but I cannot let another dumb blond joke pass without OMG I was forgetting to breathe!

I very carefully followed the pattern. The only deviation made was that the pattern called for mohair to be used for the wig, and a very expensive fabric for the body which I didn't have. I dutifully copied the face from the pattern diagram and it's pretty close if I do say so myself Back improvising atm..TRYING to make a can-can dancer and it's not going well...the doll is fine but I'm struggling with the bustier and petticoats....she is (incidentally) a bit of a trollop.

Wasn't that the idea? The dancers didn't wear any underwear so the high kicks and skirt swishing was to give the men a flash of bare thigh and entice them to visiting a girl after the show. Are you making panties for your can can girl?

I love it when people start discussing the mental capacity of a rag doll.

'Lucy Lastic' has bloomers but more importantly, she has a bare bit of thigh between the top of her stockings an the bloomers...

I cannot let another dumb blond joke pass the allure to lure us mere males astray There used to be a strip in the comics that featured ants. One of them was a homewrecker & was named "Provocative Shirley". Always made me laugh. Lucy Lastic is going to be wonderful! I imagine her clothing is rather complicated.

Oh, cheery, I knew you wouldn't let us down. She sounds perfect for her role in your galaxy.

She just doesn't have her stage makeup on yet. It is interesting to see that she is of mixed race in a different way for once -- white upper body and black legs. That is a genetic miracle!

Even the "bare bit of thigh between the top of her stockings and the bloomers" ?

She has eyelashes now...
The black legs are her stockings Kerouac ...they stop mid thigh.

He knows that. He just wanted to run a stick back and forth along the fence.

She is precious. I love her expression, with that hint of tomboy.

The doll is roughly based on Merida....making her bow was a nightmare. My nephew's wife is Scottish.
I'm having fun making a Frank-N-Furter...altho the suspender belt is proving to be a challenge...

Can't wait to see him! I actually saw the Rocky Horror Show live in London in 1979. I used to get around!

I'm not thrilled with him...I'll post a pic tomorrow but this one is going to my niece in Australia on Monday. I think I'll have another go tho as this one is too feminine...not tranny enough. Niece wants him tho...

Movement and gestures are the things that give the tranny "that look"...hard to position him/her but I know you will get it.

Love them both but casting my eye upwards I spotted and I realised I had missed Lucy and the red head , anyway all of them are great and such fun. You are very talented Cheery, but I am sure others have told you that,
