Metamorphosis Erin- Heirloom Collection 2017 W Club Doll


Finally we get out second club exclusive doll. Designed by Jessy Ayala, this gal is another edition to the wonderful Heirloom Nu Face Collection. The inspiration for the casual outfit seems to be a Kendall Jenner look. I think the set is lovely and fresh but totally not my style. I so so so want the gold crown and the choker necklace but to buy a whole gift set for two accessories would require me to admit that I have a problem.  That is just insanity...so I must pray I will be able to score the headband later. What I like about the set: new and fresh and (mostly) not recycled. The cut of the bodice on the dress is the same as the bonus red dress from the Orlando Gloss convention a few years back but paired with the flowing high-low skirt makes it read new. The drape of the one-shoulder top with the leg-o-mutton sleeve is great and works in this scale. What I don't like: the color is lovely but seems completely out of place when you put this girl in with the other designs from the Heirloom collection. I don't think she would display well with the others.  I also wish they picked another color for one of the pairs of shoes...what about gold? Or Blue? Or a pop of red? I also would have been interested in seeing the blouse and skirt be separates in order to mix and match the pieces. That might have pushed me into the "hell yes where's my card" category.

The screening is gorgeous and Erin remains a stunning sculpt. I am surprised they are doing back to back Hungarian tone dolls but she does look nice in this tone with the white of the top and dress.  I love the pretty braid.

While a lovely package, I don't do gowns...and I am really trying so hard to be good with convention coming my way...plus all the nonsense I ordered already from the Heirloom and La Femme collection. Oh and Poppy...damn your irresistible cuteness Poppy.

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.
