Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

With tax and shipping it was a brutal $170...so if you might actually find one for the same on Ebay if you miss her....but here's hoping she remains available long enough for the true fans to get one. http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/twilight-in-paris-jerrica-benton-jem-doll?BR=1046&ID=35199  Coupon codes don't work on her...so don't even try it.  the website is SUPER slow at the moment...so be patient. 

You better get to it if you want these.  Though the edition sizes are plumped up, many have already sold out.  I was tempted myself but I am resisting due to the incoming flood of Jem dolls that just hit or will be dropping shortly.  AND I hold out hope for the twins later in the year.  I do really like that Nadja sculpt though.  This whole collection is a nice tight unified group with a lot of chic black paired with bright primary colors.  Lovely tailored jackets and fantastic handbags.   Balmain 2015 resort collection seems to be a heavy influence. I love Balmain and the colors.  The overall look skews a little mature for a line that is supposed to be more youthful...but they are definitely gorgeous.

Old school Jem fans will know this one as "Like a Dream".  The new name, "Twilight in Paris" refers to the music video in which this outfit first appeared.  I really dig the nifty box that can shift into an Eiffel Tower display.  They really go all out with the little fun details and you can tell that the Integrity designers are legit fans of the line.  This is also the first Jem with the Quickswitch head feature which seems made for Jem and the spirit of the Flipside Fashions.  But it also means that unlike the "Who is He Kissing" set or the extra dress that came with Glitter n Gold, this set only allows you to display either Jem or Jerrica.  You can't have both out unless you get a body donor for Jerrica AND another blue jumpsuit. The blue pants (and pink shoes) that came with the "In Stitches" set on Jem would work for the pants and then you just need a blue knit tube top or something for Jerrica under the dress. Looks like th...

Finally, some new Jem goodness and a male doll at that with a new sculpt! I adore the little bullhorn and the accessories.

I got a new job! The family will be moving to Charlotte, NC in August.  I will be the assistant professor of costume design at UNCC.  It is all very exciting.  I have barely had time to tell people. I started packing up all the dolls and it feels like I just recently got them unpacked from the last move. Groan.  I still don't know what my housing situation will be but I am assuming that I cannot bring all these guys and gals with me.  Hence the purging. From a non-smoking home.  Prices do not include shipping.  Paypal or postal money order.

So it has been a rough few weeks for me filled with death of friends, difficult choices, and some major life roadblocks.  Needless to say, I had VERY high hopes for the Integrity webinar event.  I was really looking forward to a morning spent with my coffee looking at dolls. Alas, I was thwarted HORRIBLY.  I like many of my W Club peers, experienced a glitch while watching the webinar and we could not see the photos.  We were told to log back in and when we did, we were denied access.  It was enough to bring me to tears.  Yes, I know this is ridiculous.  But disappointment what not what I needed at that moment and, unfortunately, for Integrity, it tainted my enthusiasm for the dolls,  I only ended up ordering ONE THING from the lines if you can believe it.  Anyway...onto the dolls. So the Katy Keene lineup was pretty swell.  Many were surprised to have her on the Jem/Color Infusion body.  I was pleased since I am a big fan bo...
