Monarch Paolo Marino Doll

I finally caved on a Monarch doll. I entered in the lottery and won the opportunity to buy the new Paolo Marino. His sculpt is clearly a variation (or the exact same sculpt) as Zipper from Jem. I sold my original Zipper because his hair was totally not doing it for me.  I am loving this guy and the price was right for what looks like an amazing fashion with great accessories (glasses, watch, umbrella, adorbs loafers, and glove hands). So for the club price of $150...I took the bait.

The Story:

Introducing Paolo Marino, silver fox, fashionable financier and younger brother of Perry Marino! Yes, you read that right, we are talking about "those" Marinos, the very ones who own the second largest personal care company on Earth; Missima Cosmetics!

Highly intelligent, Harvard-educated ruthless billionaire playboy with an agenda of his own, Paolo Marino loves to jet around the world seeking to absorb the newest, hottest, youngest startups into the highly profitable "think tank" that Missima has become. Never one to abide by the motto "Thou Shall Not Covet", Paolo will stop at nothing to get what he wants, constantly making deals on the side, in hopes that one day, just like his famous brother, he too will be on top of the food chain and who knows, maybe finally get the attention of "the" original Missima woman in the process!

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.
