You're welcome to comment any time! No one barges in here (except the spammers and I kick em out as soon as they post!) ;) Thank you for your really lovely comments. :) And I started doing out some pretty scary repaints but you know, it really is true that you get better with practice. I'd recommend getting a knock off CG head and using it to practice on. Then your skills will improve and you can re-do your electra too! :D Don’t be silly! You’re welcome to comment any time!

I just pulled mine out about 20 minutes ago -- she's been on display in my den/computer room for a while and is dusty as all-get-out but still in beautiful shape. Your repaint/reroot is....it's just jaw-dropping. I can't stop looking at the pictures. You did a FABULOUS job. It's always been a dream of mine to repaint and reroot (my few repaint attempts have been laughable at best lol, and rerooting seems so difficult..), and seeing what you came up with for Electra is awesomely inspiring. Again, sorry for the intrusion, but I HAD to comment. She is absolutely beautiful, and definitely looks like the strong, intelligent, witty type to me - maybe of few words, but very profound ones when she speaks them. Lovely lovely job!

They're a pair of bratz shoes that I cut down in size, sanded, repainted and inserted cg foot pegs into. Thanks Sally :)

As someone who is 30, I can say that face is under 25. Does that make sense? Heh. And I don't see kind. But most Barbies and Kens look like bitches and douche bags, to me. Can I type that here? LOL!

Your repaint does give her a tad more seasoning - I agree with mid to late 20s. The pic before the face-wipe brought memories of her starring role in Bashalot's FN long story - I think it's still available in FN archives. One of the problems is our perception of 1:1 women's age changes with advances in cosmetics and procedures.

I wonder if she wants to stay an actress or is ready to give it up for something else....

So I'm glad I was successful in that at least! (Not sure if I'll be able to say the same when I show you the AJ repaint though) :/ Thanks for that Ursula :D

I could see her as someone who is very responsible and has it together. I think she has a wry sense of humor and is very intelligent. Maybe she's someone who has done some traveling?

Her eyes imo look too young for 30+. ;) And congrats on a beautiful repaint. I still get the Electra-vibe, but you made herless comic-y looking, more real. Well done!

She has a very kind face. But there's a pain behind her eyes. Like she suffered through something terrible in her youth. Maybe it took her a while to get over it but she seems very confident now in her own personal strength. Seriously I get all that from her. I'd venture to say mid 30's. I'm terrible at names but I'm feeling something that begins with a 'J'. Jessica? Jasmine? Juniper? Jessamane? She’s so pretty! She has a very kind face. But there’s a pain behind her eyes.
