I live in waterloo ny, I paint and draw i do some sculpting long before I KNEW what a bjd was I had made dolls and tried to make them realistic and model like as realistic as you can make a plastic barbie doll, I do their face ups and they are always pose able unless they are smaller my smaller dolls are way more limited. I have been creating dolls sense I was about 10 making them look different then as they came but I didnt discover how to change their sex until I was about 17 because i wanted to flatten the chest area to make a drag queen barbie doll names Tristen. I have also modified ken dolls my first was a zac efron barbie from high school musical I shrunk his legs and made him fit the emo sub culture style. His name is DUstin. Many years had past after that when I turned 19 I decided to take on making a guy with guy features and a boyish way I decided to use a live doll body with a barbie designed face that was about 28 $ at walmart just for the face. His name is seth and he is my favorite cause he really shows you that pretty much a lot is possible with changing a barbie not only does he have a boyish man charm but he also is nothing in compare to a woman he is a very man like doll.
