Isha - All she needs to announce her entrance is her first name and nothing else. 
Just one look at her and it is easy to understand why so many Fashion Royalty collectors have become fast fans of this ravishing beauty.



From her glowing bronzed skin, gorgeous hair and soft features. 
Isha is a treasure from her homeland of India.
Gorgeous repaint on Something Cool Isha
by Lisa Ramsammy
The first time I saw Isha the actual doll, was during the International Fashion Doll Convention in Las Vegas, Nv.

A very good friend and I were having a ball as we went through the sales room.  Seeing all the one of a kind creations along with all the factory made dolls was a treat.

When we arrived at Integrity Toys display table, we headed straight for Isha.
There she was "Riveting Premiere" indeed.  Her ensemble was amazing enoug.  However, the doll itself captivated us.  I actually dropped to my knees to get a closer look.  As I examined her, I found myself itching to repaint her!  Don't take this the wrong way, she's lovely as she is.  It's just that new face molds are a repaint artists' dream.

Her luxurious hair frames her face perfectly, yet I found myself wanting to cut it.  Yes, I'm a scissor sniper! 

Some time after the Vegas trip, I received my Riveting Premiere Isha.  Once again the urge to repaint this lovely lady came upon me.  Most of the dolls that I collect for my personal collection are kept intact and in their original state.

I waited for a couple weeks.  However, the makeover muse ended up winning over.

Maybe I should have placed her safely inside my doll cabinet - LOL
I had her standing on my painting table.  That was my mistake.

I held my breath as I carefully removed her face paint, making sure that I left her blushed cheeks intact.  I began painting as I always do, with the eyes being first.  Once I have the whites of the eyes and the eye liner on, I choose the color for the irises.  An electric blue came to mind.  Even though blue eyes are not my strong point, I just had to try it out with her skin tone. 
For her lips, I chose meatallic garnet and I highlighted them with metallic champagne and frosted burgundy.  Metallic and frosted colors have become a trademark of mine lately. 
I have heard many people remarking on her wonderful cascading curls.  But I just had to change it up by changing it.  I started by relaxing and loosening the culrs by rinsing with warm tap water.  Then I used my on snip cutting method and voila!  A new voluminous hairstyle full of body and loose curls was created.  All I need to do was to apply some bed head hair wax to control faly aways and she was ready for a photo shoot.
As I was taking her pictures I kpet thinking of a song that I could use for her web page.
A tradition of mine is to use music to help introduce my repaints.
It helps to set the mood and illuminates the attitude and personality that the doll has.

For my Isha makeover, I chose Michael Buble'.  A fantastic song called "Feeling Good" (a very good friend turned me on to his music and I'm thankful for it).
Feel free to visit her webpage and check out this awesome vocal artist.
You can review more on Michael Buble' on the Leisure page.

Malina showing just how much a slight hairstyle alteration can do to change her appearance.

Nothing was cut or curled to change her style.  The hair was simply placed differently by using my fingers to achieve the style I wanted.  A little bit of bed head hair wax and wonders can be worked with the hair remaining soft and manageable!
Finally we have the wondrous photography of
