After my first La Dee Da doll review, in which I examined the "
Runway Vacay" Cyanne, I got the feeling that I might have chosen the wrong doll to exemplify this new line. I reviewed Cyanne mostly because she was one of only two dolls available online at the time. To recap that experience, I was disappointed by Cyanne's thinly rooted hair, but learned that perhaps this is a necessity when creating up-dos with rooted curly hair. Cyanne's nondescript style was also a point of criticism. I found her tiny dress to be unimpressive, and she struck me as mundane, with a face and a theme I've seen many times before. Last, I made no secret of the fact that I was disappointed by the lack of articulation and versatility in this line.
On the other hand, I did find Cyanne to be charmingly photogenic, and noted that several of the other dolls in the series appear to have more imaginative outfits, more interesting face paint, and more personality. This got me wondering if I might have made a bad choice for my first La Dee Da doll. I decided to re-assess these dolls with a fresh perspective. This time, I selected my favorite doll in person, at a real store, where all of the dolls were in stock. This was a surprisingly easy decision. Many of the dolls look similar to me, but a few stood out as special. City Girl Dee is very appealing, and Runway Vacay Sloane and Tylie are distinct, but the uncontested show-stealer, in my eyes, is Sweet Party Dee:
