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.

The Story:

When the most established couture house of Europe decided that it was high time to revitalize the image of its longest running iconic fragrance, one fact was certain, a drastic change of artistic direction would be needed to keep the brand relevant for many years to come!

A high-profile casting call was put out and after an arduous selection process, one obvious choice remained: NU. Face modeling star Eden Blair! With her soft and sweet personality, Eden Blair had just the right blend of smarts and beauty that would leave a mark on that brand forever!

  • Rococo inspired pastel mini-dress and jacket featuring oversized "gold" button details;
  • Long socks;

  • Jewelry set composed of a necklace, earrings and ring;
  • Delicately detailed purse;
  • Alternate paid of hands;
  • Stand;
  • Certificate of authenticity.

I love this doll but I also wish the hair weren't so close to Violaine. I generally love fantasy color hair- but I don't need too many purple haired dolls. Now pink hair, THAT is another story. But purple doesn't match so much and it isn't as rococo as pink...

Still, I love her. I think her outfit has potential- the coat just needs some embroidery or bling to make it more Louis XV- the style is totally there.

I also appreciate the nod to the Pompadour- although I wish they had either gone full pompadour or not at all- the 1960s bump just doesn't cut it. It is NOT rococo. I will be fixing that in my doll for sure... if I can...

This would be cute: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3b/36/be/3b36be95f212c20ff6bc3afeeba090cf.jpg

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 t...

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.

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...
