Best Friends Forever
January 13th, 2012
Do you remember the surprise dolly addition that I mentioned last week? Well, here she is! I now have an Iplehouse SID Ashanti living here. ๐
Some of you may recognize herโshe used to be aEthEr hEad's Kendall. When I found out that aEthEr hEad was leaving the hobby, I realized I couldn't pass up the opportunity and asked if she would consider letting me adopt Kendall so that she could come live with her BFF. You see, Emily and Kendall struck up a great friendship when Emily was visiting for her face-up; they even had their first photo session together when Em was there.
I'm so happy that Emily has her best friend living here now. I bet they'll be getting into all sorts of mischief. ๐
I also feel so lucky that I was able to bring Kendall home. I've been a huge fan of hers for a long time and think she is one of the most beautiful Ashantis I've ever seen. I'm beyond excited!
I've been trying to come up with a name for my new girl. I love her orginal nameโKendallโbut I think I would feel like I was stealing someone else's character if I kept her name from her first owner. Maybe I could keep "Kendall" as her last name as a nod to her origins. Hmm…I like that idea.
Anyway, these are the names I've come up with so far:
- Ava
- Angie
- Jo
- Shel
- Shelly
- Shea (pronounced "Shay")
- Lynn
It's hard not to think of her as Kendall though. haha
Edited to add (01/14/12): I was watching some Firefly today and realized that "Gina" (after the actress who plays Zoe in the show) might also be a good name. Kendall even resembles the actress a bit, I think. ๐

I think the name Shea is a perfect choice. Shea Kendall has a ring to it.
Your photo shoots are always so well done. You have an incredible talent.
Happy new year Kara. I really miss your storytelling but am so happy you share your amazing images.

I love Kendall and Emily. I went and looked at their photo shoot when Emily visited her and how lucky you are to have her. She is a gorgeous addition to you doll family. Also I LOVE the outfit!!!! Now isn't it funny I am going to suggest the name Shea also. I had that picked out before I read gayl's entry. I agree. Also I thought of Shea Lynn Kendall. As usual you have done a wonderful job with the light in the background and all of the setups for this photo shoot. Great jobl :XO: :up:

I will be thrilled if you find the time to write! I'm sure there are a lot of people who will be jumping for joy. You were and are one of the inspirations that got me started. The benchmark for me.
