Silkstone Elizabeth Taylor Dolls
Following in the footsteps of the popular Grace Kelly Silkstone dolls, Mattel is going to offer one Elizabeth Taylor giftset and an individual doll. Elizabeth Taylor is the only celebrity Mattel doll I own. Their vinyl ETs are excellent likenesses.
The giftset is called White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. It contains two white dresses, one with an AIDS red ribbon, several pieces of jewelry and what appears to be a bottle of White Diamonds perfume.
Violet Eyes Elizabeth Taylor shows Liz in a sophisticated black ensemble.
No word on pricing available at this time.
This is the ET I have.

How can you not know what dolls you have?
I take back everything I thought about other collectors who announced that they found a doll in their closet they didn't know they had.
In one of my smaller showcases I was using two Tiny Kitty boxes to create a higher level for a row of dolls standing in back of another row of dolls. This showcase has been outfitted thus for at least a year and maybe more.
I have a lot of Tiny Kitty dolls and the ones I added to my collection in the past 9 months have remained boxed for the pending move. Imagine my surprise when I opened the two boxes and found brand new dolls inside. I have absolutely no recollection of buying them although from my records I see that I bought them at the end of March, 2011. I am surprised at myself that I would use boxes containing NRFB dolls to create a shelf.
I am almost completely packed as far as the FR dolls go. Less than 10 dolls remain to be packed out of about 90 Fashion Royalty. Then it's the clothing and the accessories. I'm going to pack my Sybarites, too. I have to finish this and move on to the next packing area.
My house is a maze which winds itself through narrow paths of cartons. My living room furniture is all at one end of the room and I have a large folding table set up for operations. My right ring finger is swollen from the wasp sting two days ago. It's 104° outside. And we don't know exactly where we are going to live as we had to terminate the contract of sale on the new house due to serious inspection issues. But I'm hanging on to a positive outlook. It will all work out for the best. And then I will have to unpack. Hahahahaha.
Does doll collecting cause insanity?

Packing: Hoarders Lite Episode 2
Well the packing has finally hit the Fashion Royalty dolls. I was holding out until the last minute with these girls because I love looking at them. I decided to pack most of them dressed. There are so many of them that it would be a daunting task to have to redress them when I unpack.
I am obsessively snapping a pic of the dolls in each box before I close it so I have a record of what's what. I did that with my Gene dolls but I did not do it with my 16" Tonners, Tiny Kittys, Silkies, Cissettes or Cissys. It just got too overwhelming. I haven't packed my Sybs yet. They will be last.
There are odd combinations of dolls around these days. I thought that even though this is not a "good" photo, it told a story.
Here is what some of my box pix look like:
They all get wrapped in tissue paper and taped to the inside of the box in order to keep them from shifting.
No, I have never redressed this Kyori. She's nearly the most perfect doll ever.
All the above dolls plus a box of Monster High, several plastic divider boxes, a box of 8 headless bodies and two bags of clothing fit into this "Lay down" wardrobe box from U Haul. This is only the beginning.
I plan to photograph the cartons of my packed dolls, if possible, before they go on the truck.
