About Dietrich : Pending

Background story: Pending

Tasha's comments: When Custom House first came out with Gene I didnt like him at all. I remember thinking after he first came out he was probably the ugliest doll Id seen. However after seeing many pics of him he started to grow on me and for a few years I had a serious love/hate relationship with the Gene head mold. At times I wanted one very badly (tho didnt have a character in mind for him) and othertimes I didnt like him at all. Eventualy Custom House stoped selling the Gene head mold and put out a simmaler boy to replace him that in my opinion lacked the original Genes charm. It was then and after seeing a Gene in person I decided I really had to have a Gene. I hadent seen one for sale in a while and I felt so sad that I had lost my chance at getting a Gene but luckily I found one for sale and I was able to bring Dietrick home. Its strange to me how I can go from not liking a doll at all to being totaly in love with it. This doll hobby has taught me time and time again to never say never!

(from oldest to most current)

I wasnt quite sure how to paint Dietrich but I thought I wanted him to be a blonde so he ended up looking like this. I have a different wig for him now than in these first pictures that I like muh better. Im not sure how long Dietrich will stay like this (I'll probably give him nude lips) but I like him for now.
