Ms. Mina Belmont

Face-up artist(s):

Peakswoods

Body blushing artist(s):

None

Date of acquisition:

2013

Provenance:

Second hand from someone on EBay

Reason for choice:

I had acquired so many Bitten Collection pieces that it was time to add the doll to my collection too.

Best Points:

Sits well. Nice hands. Fits the Bitten Collection items

Worst Points:

Something is wacky about her hips. While she can stand, I have to manually twist each leg to the outside to give her enough stability. Her legs naturally want to turn pigeon toed and then she buckles. Her mouth looks weird from some angles.

I fell in love with the Bitten Collection released by Haute Doll the moment I saw it. For those unaware, it was designed by Valerie Zeitler, produced by Dollheart, and advertised and sold through Haute Doll magazine back in 2009. But I was new to the hobby and bought not one item back then. Years later I started picking up a set of shoes here or an outfit there off EBay or DOA, some of which came from the personal collection of the editor of Haute Doll. Anyway it gradually dawned on me that if I was going to collect the whole set, I sure was going to need the doll to wear it! So her posing woes don't concern me much, her job is to look beautiful

Eyes:

softglass? I switched them from the default pale blue glass- she was hard to photograph with those

Wig:

Every Bitten wig but one

Favourite colours:

Dusty purples, greys, shaggy browns

Fashion style(s):

Bitten!

Name story:

For a long time she was simply Ms Belmont, but as you'll find later I absolutely had to add another gal to help display the impressive wardrobe, and that's when genius struck- they would be Mina and Lucy after the Brom Stoker's Dracula characters.

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
