Mostafa Is His Name

 What's in a name? Everything. 

Mostafa, meaning the chosen one in Arabic, is one of the names of Muhammad. And this OOAK NuminaDoll Argent, sculpted by the gifted Paul Pham, carries it with honor and pride. For Pham is a visionary artist whose pro-active commitment to diversity and representation is unparalleled in the realm of 1/4 scale ball jointed dolls.

Pham gave life to Mostafa, crafted of dark tan resin, with an inspired face-up, seductive five o'clock shadow, and detailed manicure and pedicure. His wig, made of fine mohair, was also handmade by the sculptor. 

In this Dolldom entry, Mostafa models fashions by the equally talented Chewin Doll.

It All Started at the Dance

It all started at the dance. Barbie, the teen-age fashion model by Mattel, thought that this would be a special night. And then, it happened...

She met Robert Best. 






"Delphine" circa 2000

"In the Pink", circa 2000

"Lisette", circa 2001

The model? A pale platinum "Classic Black Dress" Barbie made for the Madrid Convention in 2016.
