Vanessa "Going Places" 2007
Never redressed.
This was the convention souvenir doll that year.

Vanessa "Night Warrior" 2009
Dolly Style Convention (Japan) Souvenir Doll
Wearing dress from Tatyana Alexandrova "Nouveau Regime."

The original doll was highly sought after. Back in 2009 $245. (¥26250.00) plus postage from Japan was a goodly sum and there were only 300.
I was lucky in those days and got pretty much every doll I wanted either through lotteries or my dealer.

I have two of these dolls. This one has been rerooted. She is wearing a gown by Antonio Realli.

She is wearing an RnD fashion. I crimped her hair and had her repainted by Vin Trapani. I love both of them!

This is the original Aerodynamic Vanessa.

Vanessa "Luxe Life" 2009

She is one of the very few dolls I own who has never been redressed.

The unwelcomed, surprise sculpt change for Vanessa began my detachment from collecting Integrity Toys. I no longer collected my treasured Vanessa dolls and virtually stopped buying any Fashion Royalty dolls for a while. Many of us called the new sculpt "Fauxnessa."

Fauxnessa aka "High Point?" Vanessa 2012

Wearing an artist's design (I forget who.)

Note: This is a revised version of the post I began on May 18, 2019. It occurred to me that instead of adding posts to the bottom of the page, I should add them to the top. Newest photos will now be at the top so no scrolling is necessary if you are following this post.

June 2, 2009

Dasha "Infallible" 2012
I don't remember who made the dress.

May 31—June 1, 2019

Kyori "QuickSilver" 2008
Wearing a OOAK by an artist I do not recall.

Kyori "Buena Sera" (re-rooted) (eye-lids repainted?) 2007
She is wearing a stunning embroidered gown originally worn by Eugenia "Ruffles and Blooms."
This gown was another less than popular item. I think it's gorgeous.

I think it's worth pointing out how much of a difference lighting makes. The two photos above were taken late in the day but the sun was still shining on the doll. Although I toned it down, Kyori's vinyl looks yellow.
These two photos were shot indoors using studio strobes. The color is accurate. Yes, this is the same doll you see dressed in yellow. On the left is how she looked originally.
Occasionally, when shooting in daylight out-of-doors, it's a good idea to use a fill flash to produce accurate color and for a few other reasons. Quicksilver's top photo uses fill-flash.

Poppy Parker "The Camera Loves Her" 2015
Dressed in her original fashion.
Strangely enough, this was not a popular doll. I love her. Perhaps it was her unique hair or something else. I seem to go against the flow with many dolls. She is my only Poppy Parker and will probably be that way for a long time.

May 30, 2019

Monogram "Disclosure" 2010
She is wearing part of her original outfit and is dressed this way because I am selling her.

Dasha "Anika Luxottica" 2016

Wearing "Inner Sparkle" Natalia's gown.

Anika is the most exotic and unusual IT doll. She came with android-like arms and legs along with standard parts.

May 28, 2019

Who were these Dashas? I had one early Dasha rerooted and one repainted. I scalped one and I do not have duplicates, yet these two dolls look completely alike. The gal in the black hair is wigged. This shall remain a mystery. A collector just suggested that they both are Renegade Dasha.

Dasha "Always Polished" Reroot? 2010
Her silk bustier was designed by me and made by Mio. The skirt is from Adele "Sound Advice."
