Her hair was cut so it goes don to her waist. She has big bangs also. ^^ I need help deciding what to make her into...then maybe selling her? Help Is appreciated.

could u post a pic of the doll and also what kinda help you need.
Ive repainted a lot of dolls so probably could give you some pointers ;D

well with the pink hair Lulu would be the obvious choice unless you want to remove the hair?
which would mean re-rooting or using a wig and gluing it on, ( ive done that with a custom LDD im working on and was very surprised when the glue gun managed to fix the wig to the head after i had removed the hair!)

Well, I made her into a Giesha. I got some pointers from a friend of mine. So i streaked her hair purple....made a kimono...and designed it. AND and Named her. her name is Komina. I think it sounds kewl. But I just need to think of a way for her to die. I feel like bloodying her up...But not to much. Kinda like the amount Elisa Has. ^^ So...thats all i need help with. :S

"The word Geisha means "artist" in Japanese. Geisha are professional hostesses who entertain Lurkers through various performing arts in tea houses called O-chaya. They are trained in a number of traditional skills such as Japanese ancient dance, singing, playing instruments such as the Shamisen, flower arrangement, wearing kimo no, tea ceremony, calligraphy, conversation, alcohol serving manners and more. Geisha continue to study and perfect these skills throughout their careers as geisha."

she could have fallen off those high sandals they wear and banged her head and died that way, she could have spilt hot tea on herself and died of burns.
She could have used arsenic or lead based face powder to whiten her face and died of the poisoning

"Beauty preparations and techniques have often been a danger throughout the ages. Ancient Greek ladies used to wear a white cosmetic powder with a dangerous ingredient. The powder contained a very large quantity of lead. The use of this powder frequently led to premature death from lead poisoning.

If ever you need proof that we don't learn from history you will find it in beauty treatments. In the sixteenth century women used a white paste to beautify and whiten their skin. Any sun that tanned the skin was the sign of a lower class person who must work outdoors. The paste to whiten the skin was called ceruse. like the powder the Greeks used, ceruse also contained a large quantity of lead. The paste not only poisoned the body by lead absorption, but it corroded the skin. The corrosion of the skin required that women use heavier applications of ceruse to cover the excavation of the skin by the lead. This caused absorption of even more lead. It is said that Queen Elizabeth the first was covering her face with nearly 1/2 inch of ceruse near the end of her reign.

"In the eighteenth century, arsenic complexion wafers were consumed by women to whiten their complexion. The mechanism by which this worked was by killing off a number of red blood cells. Therefore there was less oxygen transported around the body and the skin was then 'paler' in color. Many women died from arsenic poisoning in an attempt to be beautifully pale.""

Me too, but the best death for a geisha is (I think) being killed by a client (Like the guy that killed Elisa Day) who hated the geishas for ofering their services to man they did not love. I think that is cool.
