I decided my Tanya paper doll was lonely and needed a new paper doll friend. So, I created Kira, a stylish African American paper doll sporting a retro look. Her hair was inspired by the 1930s. Her shoes are very modern though and she can wear any clothing from the Ms. Mannequin paper doll series. If she needs more friends, eventually I do plan to draw more Ms. Mannequin dolls. These things take time, so be patient with me.
I’m traveling at the moment, back in Alaska for a little while. I really love my home state and it’s great to be able to be home and see the beautiful mountains and things…
Of course, I’ll have to return to Alabama, which is lovely as well, soon, but in the mean time, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I love and miss Alaska.

Anyway… I think of Kira as a vintage inspired sort of elegant lady. Her style is distinctly art deco, in my head. How much of this resembles reality? That’s hard to say really… there’s nothing terribly vintage about her shoes. Still… she’s elegant and put together and that’s what I’m going with.
Have I mentioned I’m a little sleep deprived from the traveling thing? Well… I am.
I love her hair!
Thanks Erin. Me too.
I love Kira’s vintage look. Her shoes are nice (for her), too. I could never wear such high heels. My back aches with the thought of such man-made torture.

I have a deep love of high heels, but I wear the ones with heels. She’ll get more shoes in the future, since I do LOVE drawing shoes. (I also love owning shoes, which is a whole different thing.)
i love Kira hair it’s so beutifull
Thank you. I like her hair, too.
