So I'm buying Sardonix yet another slightly used DollHeart outfit from a DOAer. This one is Kala. With a hat, a necklace, a blouse, a corset, an underdress, a sash, a pair of leggings, shoes and a turban, it provides many mix and match opportunities. I can't really tell if all the blue parts are detachable from the cranberry-colored parts, but I think so. The bestest thing about this set is the shoes: red shoes with upturned toes and a slight heel. They look unusual and fanciful, all at the same time. I dislike the turban; I would have gone with an elaborate veil or snood. I can't wait to run Hell Queen pieces together with Kala pieces. That should be fun...

As an aside, Kala was one of the many winners of DollHeart's first design competition, but it's been very unpopular. Many other designs have sold out, particularly in the EGL, goth/loli, punk lite or cutesy-wootsy animal genres. Yet Kala, distinguished from the hordes by its innovation [relatively speaking], was shunned by buyers. It's disappointing to see that so many owners just seek the froofy or punk stuff. I'm surprised that Kala hasn't sold out; I mean, wouldn't it appeal to those who like Ye Olde Flowinge Fantasie And Renaissance Type Stuffe? I know it speaks to the YOFFARTS interest in me.

If I ever have a clothing line for dolls, I will call it YOFFARTS. Yo, farts!

I think it's the color scheme personally... if it had been rich reds and black or tan, gold and turquise or had some prints in it I think that would have been better. The cut is great and the overlapping pieces are really cool, but because the only contrast is the blue and pink with minor hue variances to each piece it all blends together.
