Fashion Royalty Convention Looms

I am getting so excited.  I have been sewing like a maniac for this one.  I made a ton of little t-shirts with fun logos for the FR girls and Tulabelle.  And hats galore of course.    I have one competition entry finished and hoping to get at least one more done this week if the stars align.  I have my Halloween costume about 85% done...just have to finish the hair-piece and make sure the little velvet coat I have actually fits over this giant gut bump.  I have not figured out the fashion options for the rest of the weekend though...that is always tricky.  I assume I will be freezing everywhere I go and, after this last week and realizing how hard it is now to wrestle on tights of any sort, I will likely be rocking pants for the weekends festivities.  But perhaps I will actually do a dress for the fancy party.  We shall see if I have anything that fits.

Sadly my new Clark's boots are too tight.  Ugh.  Have to take them back to DSW to see if I can get the next size up.  I had planned to wear them all weekend and now that ain't happening.  Le sigh.  I know...first world problems.

I  have not decided if I will tote around a travel doll.  More than likely I will just grab one of the girls modeling the things I am selling from the room and bring her with me to events.

I also need to get some knitting planned since those dinners seem to last forever with so little programming.  Don't get me wrong, I love FR conventions...but there always seems to be at least 40 minutes of waiting around the table to process centerpieces and such...and I hate to be without a project of some sort.

W Club Exclusive Doll "Mademoiselle Eden" from Nu Face...

Well, surprise it's another twin. People on W Club seemed mostly jazzed.  I was like....hmmm. Not sure. It feels like a whole lot of lazy rehash.  That dress seems like a variation on a dress from Luxe Life Eugenia and the jacket is the same one we got on Karolin at Live from Fashion Week (which (I sold off) The hair color is almost identical to the recent Violaine doll (whom I ADORE).  But I do love the mint dress (it has pocketssss!) and shoes quite a bit.  I am not loving the hairstyle at all and would definitely be removing the Snooki pouf hair . I love fantasy hair...but wish it weren't so similar to Violaine.  I've been wanting a minty haired doll...and maybe this one would be a perfect re-root candidate.  So I am still a little undecided.  Someone also pointed out that her stock number (82120A) could possibly indicate a corresponding Lilith version (82120B?) is coming our way (possibly for Dolly days?). Which sort of panic scares me into ordering her...hmmm.

Paris Doll Convention News

The Paris Doll Convention was this past weekend. Pictures can be seen here courtesy of the fantabulous Gerda! There was a gorgeous Raven hair Ellowyne with cute bangs and a ponytail and smokey eye makeup called Paris Blue limited to 250. The Sybarite event doll for the Saturday evening banquet was a bright red wigged doll with hot pink eye makeup and a gold and pink evening gown called Epocholypse. There was also a Raven version in a black and silver gown limited to 20 available via a special drawing. Both have lovely face paint and the wigs are in a cute haute heidi braid look. The dresses are nice..but i am not a big fan of Superdoll's gowns. I love their unique sportswear looks more. I am the same with Tonner gowns as well. Some lucky ducks walked away with the new Sybarite Fashion Victim dolls. I am very jealous as these look FABULOUS. I so want that mohawk pink wig one.... They also had hand sets with different posed hands and I really hope they sell these in the f

IT Dolly Days East 59th La Femme Godiva Collection with New Characters!

Image
  Well another gorgeous set of dolls from designer Christ Stoeckel. He and Mark Tinkey are definitely favs at the moment. The clothing here is lovely and highly detailed. We are getting two new characters which seem to be using some older sculpts.  I like them and I don't mind some stylization...but they do seem a touch out of step with the screening on Evelyn which seems more realistic.  I tried for Cora in the lottery and lost out.  I am hoping to jump on the wait list and maybe get lucky though. I am a big Mugler fan and this fashion on Cora is definitely a reference to a Mugler look as well as to Jerry Hall's locks (also a Mugler model). I missed out on preordering the rest of the ladies from the dealers.  I would really like to get Evelyn's outfit at some point.  I will be patient.
