Tonner's Cami & Jon Collection is Live!
Let me know what you think..I am still looking. The biggest and not unwelcome surprise is that the collection is "made to order"..meaning they want have piles of this stuff going on uber-clearance a year later. That also effectively means I probably cannot get any of it since I rely on the clearances heavily.
Cami & Jon Collection
Cami looks like a variation on the Cinderella head sculpt to me who I think looks like a bitchy high school cheerleader. No really that tempted. The outfits have a more youthful edgy look but thus far I think i can resist. The images for Jonquil aren't there yet...I keep you updated.
Update! Jon will evidently be a variation on the Jaq face sculpt for the Antoinette body. Here's a link to some photos by George!

Mrs Beckinsale: My Ethical Clothing Pledge
I'm doing this...
Mrs Beckinsale: My Ethical Clothing Pledge
Challenge..No New Clothes for 2010! Take the Ethical Clothing Pledge.
Okay...I think I might be ready for a MAJOR commitment. Sounds crazy I know. But I was inspired by listener JoniMarie's 'no new clothes' pledge as well as trip to the Salvation Army last night that netted me three pairs of pants, three blouses, and one African Dancer costume for $25! And one of those pants were Seven for All Mankind Jeans!!! Heck I could re-sell those suckers on eBay for $40! So with my love for vintage and thrift store shopping, combined by my sewing skills, my desire to save money, my need to widdle down the stash, AND the positive impact on the environment...I think i can do this!

I pledge to only wear clothing that is one or more of the following:
1. Pre-loved
2. Handmade (preferably by me)
3. Reconstructed
4. Made with ethical / environmentally friendly materials
5. Made by a company with strong ethical policy & workers' rights
Behold! New Swing Shoes Coming My Way!
I just won these on ebay...for $15!!! I love me some ebay sometimes.
Learn something new! Purling Long Tail Cast On!
How handy...now I can get the first row of ribbing out of the way as I cast on! Genius!

Be Still My Heart...Retro Swing Dance Shoes
Um...I might have found my new jam...these shoes are KILLER! And the white versions would make fabulous wedding shoes for a vintage bride. I am definitely planning to hunt down these red wedges...they are on sale at Chicago Dance Supply up in Andersonville...muhahahaha!

Gail Simone Returns to 'Birds of Prey' in 2010 -- EXCLUSIVE
Gail Simone Returns to 'Birds of Prey' in 2010 -- EXCLUSIVE
Squeal. Best news ever!
Tonner 2010 Rumors...Squeal!
Ohhhh. I am excited. Evidently for the DC Stars line, we are getting a Deluxe Huntress and Harley Quin. I am sort of lukewarm on the Huntress...but Harley will be awesome! Evidently there are previews in the Tomart Figures magazine and Huntress will be in the purple and black costumes. Hawkman is also coming soon. Also rumored is a Lynda Carter Wonder Woman (squeal!). I think we will be seeing Flash this year too. I keep holding out for Cheetah, Zatanna, and Robin...plus some villains! Green Arrow as well pretty please!
Also coming, the Prince of Persia (which we already new), Alice in Wonderland (which we already assumed), and Tron!

Currently Coveting:
Teva Durhanm Shirtwaist Pullover.
Berocco Ninebark Cowl Vest
Matthew Gangy Helleborus Yoke Cardigan
Debbie O'Neill's Equinox Raglan looks like a good mindless easy knit for those distracted times when you just want stockinette.
The Panbe Dress might be cute...but the stylist for that photo should really re-consider his/her career path. White boots with cropped black leggings?
The Ribby Toque would make a great guy knit.
The Bungled Mitts look like a great odds and ends stashbuster project. It would be super fun knit in different colors.

JamieShow Clothing Line at Angelic Dreamz
There is a small clothing line for the JamieShow Men dolls. The pieces, though pricey, look fabulous! I am not sure whether they would fit Tonner dolls. I am dying for the trenchcoat and fedora and possibly the white shoes. They would be so kickass on my Lex Luthor repaint...hmmmm. Most do some investigation.
UPDATE! George from Angelic Dreamz thinks most of these will fit the Matt dolls but they must have the jointed ankles to get the pants on (and I believe all tonner male dolls do have jointed ankles). Wee!

The Dreary dolls look wonderful. I hope we see a male character soon!
I love the outfit on the new Deanna Denton as well.
The Antoinette Tranquil is killer. The Alabaster Mannequin is really cool and would make a great vampire!
