Final 2018 W Club Doll: Secret Garden Eugenia

So I have never been a huge Eugenia fan. (I know...some of you are clutching your pearls in horror).

I currently have two of her (the blonde from the Cinematic convention) that I used to make my Coven Cordelia. There have been gorgeous Eugenias in the past but usually I have been late to the party and can't afford her. Otherwise, I just haven't felt the need. I am still on the fence about this latest offering.  Like I can't buy a whole big expensive giftset JUST because I need that purse?  right?  RIGHT?

First of all, I don't do poofy gowns. But LOOKIT that purse! its like a little McQueen skull clutch.  Actually all the accessories are amazing (well maybe not the tulle scarf that likely came from the floor of the design room). But once again, can I actually justify ordering a whole $175 set for the little bits. In the long run, it would be more cost effective to do so and then just sell off the funeral prom dress and Eugenia and then keep the accessories and the flasher trench (because I don't have a trench AND it is also based on McQueen).  I love McQueen. Well crap...I think I just talked myself into it. 

Yeah, I have no interest in another pale blonde with pink lips but of course I am happy for the rest of you out there getting this one.

The Story:

Visiting her favorite fashion hot-spot for Couture Week, Eugenia Perrin-Frost has been invited to be the star model of an ultra-edgy secret photo session set in a long forgotten English garden. While the setting may seem gloomy to some, everyone from the stylist to the artistic director involved with the project agreed that this would be THE best spot to create the perfect mood for the gown being featured in the glossy magazine spread!

Eugenia couldn't wait and as usual, she showed up for the shoot on time, looking as fresh faced and fantastic as ever!!

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Two pairs of hands (one with long nails and one with the regular manicure);

Pale nude "pearlized" faux-leather purse with quilted detail and "silver"/"diamond" flower charm;
Black and tan faux "patent leather" boots with "silver" zipper closure;

OMG just look at those goodies. I love them so.

Sidebar: both the name of this doll and the "story" seem a bit of a stretch to me.

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
