Blush & Gold Cocktail Dress Barbie is cringing in her showcase. She had to give up her pretty dress to La Scala. I keep telling her it's only temporary but she's not having it.
LaScala doesn't care. She's pondering which Silkstone outfit she will snatch next. This spoiled little (12") girl will never know the feeling of having nothing to wear.
News, reviews and photographs of Modern Fashion Dolls including Kingdom Doll, Fashion Royalty, Sybarite, Tonner Doll, Gene Marshall, Barbie and my own experiences as a doll collector.

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.

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.)

Great Photo by Mel Parker-Reeves
Mel posted this wonderful photo in the Pink Lounge yesterday. Her caption read:
Diversity delivered....When you ask your doll company to represent all walks of life, and they give you skintones from Porcelain White to Midnight Black....yeah I'm about that doll life.
