The presentation itself was fun but these dolls were not for me. I feel like we have seen this particular screening A LOT. Hoping to see something different next year (and variety too boot). I was tempted to keep the purple outfit though because it might look really cute on Sookie...but I opted to sell her. Anyway...here are the tidbits of info we learned out from the event.
- Rejected Poppy names: Hilarie Hartley, Cherie Clark, Sharon Shelby, Tabatha Tilly, Trixie Taylor...there was one redacted name that David really likes and wants to use in the future.
- The World's Fair Collection was one of his very favorites.
- David's husband really wants him to do a Poppy Hometown Collection where she returns to her Midwestern roots.
- Next year's theme is Palm Springs.
- Inspiration from Jonathon Adler, Mid-century modern design, Trina Turk, Shag prints, Monsieur Z, Poolside Gossip by Slim Aarons.
- Retro-modern and might jump around in time a bit
- Expressed a desire to loosen up the rules for Poppy a bit
- Ginger and possible the return of Chip (either in this collection or somewhere else)
- Both the W Club 2021 Upgrade doll AND all club exclusives will be a part of this collection.
- No bathing suits. Fun, fashion, sleek, and some fantasy.
- Second W Club Exclusive hint: spicy and cute. (I read the clue "spicy" as a Ginger reference.)
- We will see Ginger sooner than 2021 (I am guessing it is either a two doll w club exclusive gift set OR the option to buy two dolls like we got with Erin and Nadja last year.)

Based on the holiest of holy Poppy grails "Center of Attention", this one is very frothy. I do love the colors and the hairstyle is something new. I don't do gowns though.

She's cute. She looks a whole lot like the recent New York Poppy. I might try to get the fashion loose maybe...we shall see. This one was based on an early Poppy club doll, Lilac Frost. I remember not loving it and not ordering it. This mod version is fun with the little hot pants.
After the flood of Poppies from last year, it feels a little odd to only be keeping one from this year. But my wallet and doll shelf are happy. More room for next year's stuff...which sound way more my speed.
