Taylor Lace

Face-up artist(s):

BlueFairy (girl-type faceup)

Date of acquisition:

June 2015

Provenance:

I am the first owner and I bought it from the company.

Reason for choice:

I bought this doll as part of a planned set. I wanted all the dolls in this set to be from the same company, to ensure consistent aesthetics, but to have variety of body types, facial types, gender, and color within the set.

I wanted at least one tan, white, pink normal, and pale normal doll, an even number of males and females, plus at least one unisex, and one of almost each body type that BlueFairy offered (girl, boy, dandy, blossom). I wanted a feminine and masculine boy and girl, as well as different eye/facial types (gentle, serious, dreamy, bright, neutral).

Taylor fulfills the following: pale Normal skin, body body, girlish boy, gentle face.

I wanted to be sure to get Taylor in BlueFairy's Classic body, as I thought it looked cuter and more youthful compared to their Neo bodies out now.

Best Points:

He has just the prettiest, sweetest face with the gentlest little smile. He poses easily and solidly, even if the posing is simplistic. He fits 6-7in and 7-8in wigs. Because he's NS, I worry much less about him yellowing.

Worst Points:

His elbows are the worst-posing part of his body.

Eyes:

16mm Orange

Wig:

6-8in Orange, brown

Favourite colours:

Orange, beige/cream, brown

Fashion style(s):

Airy, loose, styles, natural fibers, and androgynous to feminine designs. Key color is orange.

His key colors are orange, brown, and cream. He's the most difficult to find clothes for of all my dolls. I want to aim for feminine and androgynous, but without necessarily being overtly female or too childish. I would enjoy finding clothes for him that either have a natural, down-to-earth feel or an exotic and fantasy feel.

Name story:

Themed after sewing and the words 'tailor' and 'lace'.

Character age:

??? 100+?

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Creature Classification: Andolim (Series 3, Degree 2, OOAK, Maker Pygmalion)

Andolim is short for 'animated doll golem'. Andolims were invented by the fairy Pygmalion; upon being revealed to the public eye, they were quickly popularized as rare luxury goods exclusive to the wealthy. High-quality andolims like Taylor are easily worth more than their weight in gold, and perhaps even more than their owner's weight when fully accessorized.

Though not technically a living creature, andolims are beings that possess souls and are capable of individual thought and feelings.

Though incapable of using magic themselves, they are extremely adept at handling magic items and creating items that are suited to magic enhancements.

His Story:
Taylor's Maker was the famous Pygmalion. His Owner was the heir to an old, rich merchant family, the Belle Estate; Pygmalion and the Belle family have had an established friendship from generations past and Taylor (along with four others) were a gift to the last living member of the family. He was his loyal companion from youth to his death bed. He is a doll in a Collection of five.

About Him:
His element is air, his season is fall. Though he may appear like the shy and soft-spoken type at first, he's really quite a social butterfly and enjoys social gatherings of all kinds. Though optimistic and sweet, he's a bit of a ditz, forgetful and thoughtless. His skills are in magic, dance, music, sewing and crafting, climbing, conversation, romance, and weather. He is a charismatic crowd-pleaser with a Sanguine temperament.
