Just throwing this out there for what it's worth. I sometimes go with an unexpected hair color instead of black for darker dolls.

She's very cute @vermont chick! I can try shades of blonde. My Erzulie has the new darker light brown tone so I didn't think about using a lighter hair color. It could still work!
It definitely could work! My dark suntan Dollmore Judith girl totally rocks pale colors: blonde, pink, gray, blue, etc. so I know a darker Erzulie can, too. (The Erzulie in my photo now lives with @El BJD.)
@vermont chick Your Erzulie looks a bit like my sister did at that age. A little different features, but same color hair, eyes, and skin. She's a cutie! Made me do a double take, lol.
I had my Erzulie as a strawberry blond for a while-but she's back to her dark brown wig now. She looks great either way. Erzulie close by Rosanne, on Flickr
I just ordered a bunch wigs and shoes on Alice's Collections, and totally forgot that those prices are American dollars and not Canadian ones... Yikes! This has happened to me more often than I can count. Meanwhile, there will be the cutest little shoes and several different wigs for my Bono when she gets here! I really have to start thinking about a name, because "Bono" just does not work for me. Wrong association (U2 anyone?!).
Ororo started out with white hair, but I found that having a lighter wig on her made her resin look even darker, which was a challenge to photograph unless in ideal, controlled lighting. The same happened with black wigs, but they washed her out. When I changed her to a medium brown wig, I got a much richer tone that was closer to her actual color and made taking casual photos of her much easier. Ororo storm costume by clochette62, on Flickr
I can definitely relate. Bono is a terrible name, and I'd have changed mine to Bonnie, had there not been another BID with that name - which I already own. So, having her arrive just before Christmas, 'Holly' seemed like the perfect name.
Yay, new thread! Soleil got some new toys- I found these at a local toy store and they're perfect for her!
Your Bono is adorable! Mine just came back from a trip to the Maritimes with her family. Here they all are in a family portrait on Canada Day (July 1st) at Cape Bonavista in Newfoundland...
@Xanadu Dolls do you mind me asking where in Oz did you find them? I did a bit of searching on EBay last night, but wondered if there were other suppliers?
