Promo Photos Don't Always Tell the Truth

On Prego today JaneNY posted a photo of Tonner's Salvatore brothers,  Damon and Stefan, who are characters from the Vampire Diaries. What a difference a real life photo makes. These dolls are hot. Their sculpts are fabulous. Jane said about Damon, "So much better than his promo pics. His outfit is wonderful. 'Leather' jacket is distressed and very well done. Good quality on his henley, and the most surprising thing was Tonner also included his sleeveless undershirt."

Of course it also makes a difference that she styled their hair very well!

 These are the original promotional photos from the TDC.

My Favorite Fashion Royalty Sculpt, Vanessa

I'm talking about the real Vanessa, not Waldo. This is Aerodynamic Vanessa.

She was repainted by Vin Trapani and given an FR2 body.

 I did not like True Royalty Vanessa at first. She had a pushed in face and looked emotionally damaged. She may have been the palest Fashion Royalty doll to have ever been released at that time and would have made a great vampire.

 

I worked with heat on her head to reshape it. When I still didn't like her, I had her rerooted. No gold ring yet.  The other day, after plucking the chicken feathers out of Go North's gorgeous gown, I put it on True Royalty, combed her hair partially over her face and loved it. Yay!
