Most of you are probably aware that the Tonner Convention is underway. Pictures of the new dolls and centerpieces are dribbling onto the web slowly although eBay pictures went up immediately by those who are hoping to sell their dolls.
The first event took place on Thursday night. The new doll is called "Pin Up Basic" and is on a newly engineered Tyler body. The body will appear on a line of dolls called Tyler's Nu Mood. Pin Up has a sculpt which is somewhat cartoonish and was inspired by Robert Tonner's collection of illustration art. Perhaps a friendlier adjective would be illlustrationish. I wonder if my large Tyler sized wardrobe will be useless?.

At first I was reminded of an old Coppertone ad in which a dog is tugging at a child's bikini.
Pin up illustration art is highly sexual.
Where is Robert going with this line? Will we see gorgeous lingerie and upholstered ottomans? I hope so!

20 Years of Tonner.
The Friday brunch centerpiece featured Andy, Cami and Jon. The event was called Young New York.

A new character in the Cami and Jon line was introduced. She is Gina.
I cannot wait to see what the Shadows Wilde Imagination event doll is because I'm getting it. Woo Hoo!
