W Club Doll: Nu. Classic Lilith Blair ...or Nu. Basic? and $175 dollars....WTH!

 


So...yeah. While the doll is cute...and I love dark a-tone and the afro puffs...hell to the no on paying $175 for this fashion fever outfit at this price point. This is bland and BASIC. Mint fur on a tired faux Chanel boucle suit. We have had three Chanel looks in the last year between 2020 Not Pretending Eden and the Little Day Ensemble Veronique. Both of those were infinitely more inspired than this offering. I am just at a loss really.  How is East 59th priced at $160 and coming with accessories and all sort of details and we get $175 for a shirt without buttons? Nope. I have to draw a line in the sand. I am dreading what is coming for the W Club upgrade dolls. 

Be as sassy as you want girlfriend...but that outfit is a no.

The Story:

True fashion connoisseurs know that shopping on 5th Avenue is for tourists and Lilith Blair simply won't fall for it! As a true New Yorker, she favors shopping on the Upper East Side’s Madison Avenue, because after all, from top fashion designers to high-end jewelry boutiques, that's where all the classics await! It also doesn't hurt that being immediately recognized as the top model of the hour ensures the red carpet treatment, no matter what chic boutique one opts to flash that mighty impressive Onyx card at. Let's face it, that's any fashionista's favorite part and Lilith lives for that moment!

  • 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
  • Classic two-piece pastel tweed suit, featuring a matching jacket and skirt combo trimmed with golden buttons, clear "stones", sewn-on chain, and contrasting faux-fur;

  • Newly engineered high-heel design, featuring bright orange, clear soles with oversized pyramid heels;

  • Polished "silver" statement ring;
  • Quilted detail "silver" band ring;
  • Pistachio green handbag;
  • Pair of long manicured hands;
  • Alternate pair of "grip" hands;
  • Doll stand;
  • Certificate of authenticity.

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...
