3-11-08 Gene Invasion

It looks like I've stopped posting again! I don't know why some things are such an effort. I've bought and sold so many dolls since the last entry, it's ridiculous. Quite a few Genes live here now! I went a little crazy in January and February. Compared to Fashion Royalty, the Ashton Drake dolls and outfits are so cheap. Several are on the corny side, however.

Swim Suited to a T Gene in her new outfit. Lovely outfit, well made! Fits like a dream.

This is Luchia holding a felted red poodle that I had an artist make for me. Below are images of the same doll. The last shows her with her hair redone.

She comes in color. One of this year's boxed fashions. Lovely.

12-11-07 Gene

I've added several dolls to my collection since my last post but haven't taken many photographs. The most surprising addition is a Gene doll. I liked her ever since seeing her last February '07 at FAO. She was one of my Chanukah/Christmas/Birthday gifts from Bob. Along with her came one of the new articulated Tiny Kitty dolls. Meh. I will not be collecting them. Their hair is hard to style. This one came with hard curls all over the place. I had to wash them out and then I tried to boil her hair straight. I'm wondering if saran is used for these dolls' hair. I think not.
I bought the convention centerpiece Erin and last season's basic Veronique. And there are so many more coming.

The picture posted above is Agnes in A Brighter Side Kyori's peignoir and lingerie. The FAO Kyori giftset is IMHO the best gift set ever. The doll is beautiful; the clothes are gorgeous.

Below, Kyori is seen in her pale yellow gown which is embellished with sequins and feathers.

In Bloom Vanessa is wearing the sheath and coat from the giftset. Not shown is an amazing metallic gold handbag embellished with faceted stones all around.
