2018 W Club Exclusive Doll: Divinely Luminous Elyse

2018 Dolly Days came YAWN and went...BIG YAWN.  I resisted for the bulk of the week. Then this gal was announced...at first I was like...heck no, that doily dress was boring the first time on Isha...but then I was like....ohhhh two pairs of shoes and switchy legs...and then....ohhhh two pairs of arms with henna tats. And then...LOOKIT ADD DEM JEWELS! Plus I like the lavender eyes and like the Hungarian skin tone and hair pairing much better then last year's super tan Seduisante Elyse with the hair that I cannot seem to tame. Also, I can say this one's name. So "seduce-santa" is getting kicked off the island and this girl is on pre-order. Sale of doily dress imminent.

The Story:

Elyse could not miss Isha's big return and was more than happy to attend the premiere of her new movie, Sacred Lotus!

As a nod to her good friend's success, Elyse decided to make Isha's key look from the movie her own, but push the glam factor into overdrive with the addition of even more golden jewelry and a change of shoes, to better participate in the Bollywood dance choreography at the cast party! Elyse had fun until the wee hours of the morning and looked absolutely fabulous doing it!

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.

Integrity Toys 2023 Year in Review

Image
  The 2023 Club year was a bit of a sloppy drunk.  Let's call her Sheila. Sheila is generally good fun, but occasionally she takes FOREVER, says the wrong thing, over-serves herself, and then spends a lot of time apologizing. Get a hold of yourself, Sheila! Here is a photo showing what I ordered from this year (though it is missing the Wildflower Misaki doll which I did order. This is easily the least amount of stuff I have ordered in a club year. I really liked all of the True Industry line up but was trying to be good. I already have versions that I love of all of those characters and don't want to repeat sculpts with them. I did not have a Jasper or an Auden though and I liked them both enough to enter in the lottery. I got Auden but not Jasper sadly (hoping I will find a takeover later). At the slightly reduced club pricing, the sticker shock of the new high prices was not as bad for what is basically the same Dynamite Girls dolls we used to get for like $60 back in the day

Yes. I'm alive...Here is a long overdue dolly update

Image
Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have blogged.  I have been working my fanny off at my new day job (professor at UW-Madison) and had little time for anything else. And, I have to say bluntly, I have been feeling a whole lot less enthusiastic about a lot of things lately, but dolls especially.  Don't get me wrong, I still love them and have still bought more than a few over the last year. But I have only managed to unbox a few of my purchases in the last year...so I've got a big pile up waiting for me. I finally have a bit of time off and I am hoping to spend some more time with the collection. Also, I want to do some serious purging.  I am registered for the 2024 convention and planning to do room sales. So I am considering bringing a serious checked bagged filled with dolls. I think pairing down will let me focus and enjoy what I actually have more. So planning a brutal "no mercy" purge. But there are always lows and highs with a hobby right? Of the dolls released i
