āFollowing its release in late 2005 and its enormous commercial success at home, Playtime Co. celebrated the opening of its new factories on the Asian and African continents by releasing regionalized versions of their Lily Lovebraids doll: the character was also renamed to āLily Lovelocsā on the African continent. Perplexingly, the logoās braids design remained the same.ā
A quick idea for a Black Lily design I had!! Iād like to think that as horrible as Playtime Co. is, at least theyāre not racist /j I had so much fun with her design, a mutual of mine gave me the idea of her laying her edges in hearts, kind of inspired by Black dolls having painted-on edges, and I had the idea of her purple hair being extensions to natural hair instead of her natural hair by itself. I did my best to accurately represent textured hair and darker skin as well, but I always have something to learn so please let me know if anything can be improved upon, Iām always open to feedback!! :D
