Meeting Tequila Rose

Nope, I don't mean the booze, though I do admit that it looks tempting.  This is a doll blog though, and this particular Tequila Rose is a doll.

Her full name is Tequila Rose Idabel Lawson.  She has pink streaks in her hair, and that made me think of the booze.  Well, that and I just like the combination of the words "tequila" and "rose."  Here's a better look at the streaks.  The little puffs clip on.  I had no idea these would be included with her, but I'm not gonna gripe.

Her face has some added paint too, mainly around the eyes and on the lips.

I don't know why I became so attached to this little doll, but...well, y'all know the old saying "I saw it in the window and had to have it"?  I saw her on Etsy and had to have her.  Like my other Etsy dolls Kyle and Llewellyn, Tequila Rose came fully dressed.

I make note of the clothes because Justine-Marie came bald and nekkid, even though someone had taken the time to swap her eyes and paint her face.  Never did understand that.  But anyway, Tequila Rose is fully clad...for now, anyway.  The temperatures are predicted to bottom out tonight, so this pet will need some leggings and a coat very soon.  But for spring, summer, and early to mid-fall Tequila Rose is all set.  I love the pattern on her dress!

The boots made me giggle, because they're Our Generation boots.

When I last tried Our Generation boots on an American Girl, millions of years ago, they didn't fit.  But then again, Denise was/is a Pleasant Company doll with thick tights on, so I shouldn't have been surprised that the shoes didn't fit.  Tequila Rose doesn't have that problem, though she DOES have a problem with the falling temperatures.  It got extra cold last night (first hard cold snap this season), and Tequila Rose's dress is a halter-neck dress.  I have another outfit for her that covers...well, a little more skin, though the top is still a T-shirt.

LOL, my mother bought me a pair of distressed jeans for Christmas during my first year living on SEMO campus.  At Christmas I was too big for them, but I walked around campus so much that by the time April rolled around I could wear them!  Ah, memories...back in those days I was a more healthy size and actually gave a flying burrito about how I looked.  Nowadays comfort is far more important than style.  But anyway, I like the jeans, but I freaking LOVE the shirt.  If you're an Eagles fan then the design may be familiar.

This is the album art for their 1974 album On the Border, which included one of my favorite songs, "Already Gone."  I don't have Tequila Rose's personality hashed out fully yet, but I've already determined that she's a hardcore Eagles fan.  Hence the shirt.  

Both the shirt and the jeans came from the Etsy proprietor BellasDivas, and they can do...oh gosh, I think they can do just about any album art, any sports team, any logo one could think of, and they do it fast!  I placed my order for the Eagles shirt on November 7th, and I got it YESTERDAY!!!  I think if I asked super nice I could get Erry Vision Films' logo on a shirt...not that I'm going to!  Yes, I'm a member of the "creepy logos" culture, on top of everything else, LOL!  Instead of creepy logos I plan on getting band shirts for some more of my girls.  Luciana has already asked for a Led Zeppelin shirt, so I'll have to see what I can do about that...and about Tequila Rose's bare arms.  But in the meantime, I'm going back to bed!  Mama and I got the day off!

Happy Veterans' Day,
