Doll Reader/Haute Doll Exclusive Produced by Angelic Dreamz

In cooperation with Angelic Dreamz, the Canandaigua, N.Y.-based manufacturer and retailer of the popular JAMIEShow fashion ball-jointed dolls, Doll Reader/Haute Doll introduces an exclusive resin fashion BJD, Eshe. This 16-inch (41-cm) articulated doll wears a form-fitting gold dress with puff sleeves, reminiscent of the Egyptian queen herself, gold metal filigree earrings and necklace, and an Egyptian queen's hat. Eshe comes with a head cap, and she has another wig that collectors can swap in to change her look completely. She comes with a certificate of authenticity that identifies her as a Haute Doll exclusive. Eshe is a limited edition of 50 worldwide.

 Eshe will be available for sale exclusively through Doll Reader/Haute Doll for a limited number of readers. One of the best things about her, for those who like to play with their dolls (and who doesn't!), is that she will fit perfectly into clothing designed for other 16-inch fashion dolls, offering the potential for a whole range of new looks. Still, no matter how you dress her, Eshe's essence won't change.

She has a Middle Eastern look. She wears a stunning form-fitting gold dress with puff sleeves, gold metal filigree earrings and necklace, and an Egyptian queen's hat. She also carries a staff, giving her an even more regal bearing. Her platform shoes elevate her to an imposing presence suitable for Egyptian nobility. The resin doll comes with a head cap, and she has another wig that collectors can swap in to change her look completely.

Ways to Spend your Money

Every now and then (more now than then) I come across an enticing item that I'd buy if it weren't for the fact that I either have it already, have too many of them already, shouldn't buy anymore and .....you know.
I hate to see a good item go unpurchased so I will present it on the blog.

I need a good title for this feature - suggestions welcome.

Anyway...on the Show and Sell Site someone is selling 5 Fashion royalty bodies for $50 shipped. They are various colors. One looks like a tall body the others are straight arm bodies. These would make great mannequins and/or diorama items. Or you can take them apart and make strange jewelry with them. Bend them over and use for a table base...oh the things I can think of.

I do not know the seller although I may have done business with her in the past as I've done business with pretty much everyone it seems.

If you do buy them, tell her Terri sent you.



Of course, while you're there, take a look at the stuff I have for sale.

Where's Waldo?

Rare Appeal Dominique Becomes a Body Donor

Not being fond of Dominique's face I hoped that her body could be used with an existing FR doll and I got lucky. The doll I call Bongo Kyori aka Buena Sera is an extremely good match.

While the above picture's lighting does very little for her face, I assure you that she is gorgeous.  Uriah rerooted her and did an amazing job keeping a darker blend of blondes under the top layers of platinum shades.

There's been lots of chatter about the promo photos of Dominique's hot pink dress showing the ruffles evenly sized along her sides. That's not exactly right. In the promos, she has her arms and hands used to push the ruffles down. I don't think there's much of a difference at all between the promos and the production piece. The ruffles appear to have been pressed downward and flattened and the dress looks more fitted. I'm going to try that.  I think the dress is stunning and just needs a tweak here and there.

Dark Shadows Ellowyne

Another collector sat in at the Tonner Convention Ellowyne break out event for me. I was thrilled when I saw the souvenir doll.

I turned under the ends of the black bow so the beautiful details on the front of her tunic could be seen. The braids in her hair which you can see in the first photo were added by me. I may make a few really tiny ones. I think it's unusual for a convention souvenir doll to be without earrings and I wonder if they just never made it into my box. The rhinestone studs were put in by me until I find out if she's got her own.
