Ok, both Hana and LeeLee have tried on (very mild) punky personas. Hana really took to hers, but LeeLee got resentful and somewhat sullen. She did NOT like the way I dressed her last night. Her left leg kept kicking straight out (due to tight stringing, but it was ironic, nevertheless!) and her right arm would spring to the front. I just couldn't get her to hold very still. I had to take very fast photos for fear that she'd suddenly kick that leg back out and lose her grip on the back of the red velvet chair and and topple flat onto her face. This is the first time I've experienced that "kickiness" that some BJD owners have complained about. 
To tell the truth, it was kinda funny! Poor LeeLee just didn't look very happy all evening, but I did manage to capture a couple of striking images of her. I wonder what she was thinking?
Now on the other hand, Hana Soah absolutely LOVED her wild red fur wig and it obviously loved her! Hana just looks so artistic and free! She really looked like a young high school student busy thinking big thoughts... And this look really suits her musical background. Did you know that Hana plays the violin, the guitar, brass
instruments, and the accordion? There are musical instruments scattered all over her apartment, much to the dismay of the orderly Amelie Soo (LeeLee). I really am going to have to figure out how to get that second floor built onto Hana's 5 feet by 6 feet apartment so LeeLee can have her own little quiet attic space for writing and dreaming... It's just so much fun 
seeing the unique personalities of each doll come to life --or violently rebel-- with every single change of wig and outfit. It really fascinates me how versatile Hana Soah is because of her ability to adopt many different looks, but how poor LeeLee seems stuck in one place. I need to start sewing and trying more things on her because she actually can't fit most of Hana's things, both size-wise AND style-wise. The poor thing is quietly begging me to get her some more of her very own stuff.
Well, the evening ended with LeeLee back into her comfort zone. It was amazing to see the tension just melt right out of her face as she drifted off to dreams of green grass beneath her bare toes and lush fields of flowers to pick and toss into the air.
