I was having fun taking pictures with my iPhone yesterday. Once I got them into my computer, I played around in Photoshop. This image pleased me.
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.

Miniature Mac Laptop
Isn't this the cutest prop? It is a miniature Macintosh Laptop. No, it doesn't work silly! It cost all of $5.60, came all the way from China and took just under 3 weeks to get here.
Link to the seller: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/apple-macbook-shaped-cosmetic-mirror-silver-91010
With dimensions of : 3.66" x 2.56" x 0.35", it would be too large for a 12" doll but it's perfect for 16" - 19" dolls. They have miniature iPhones, too, but they are out of scale for these dolls.

Fashion Doll Agency Marcella Gets A New Outfit
I had to unpack Marcella in order for her to check out the new outfit I purchased for her. This was made by Michael Scott and included everything but the boots. This gal is the oddest size and pretty much nothing that exists for 16" dolls fits her.

The Monster High Craze
Mattel's Monster High line is the hottest little doll around. Grown (?) men and women are scrambling to get the latest releases. I see people who have magnificent resin doll collections also collecting these fragile creatures. It's fun to watch a doll line blossom into a mania.
I saw a few things today while searching for a picture of a newly released doll that another collector is desperately seeking. It is called Cupid and reminded me of a miniature Red Queen with a big head and heart shaped lips. She is pretty cute!
These are the Twins, Meowlody and Purrsephone:
I love Cleo's Vanity shown below in an unattributed photo I found on fanpop.com
And it seems that Cleo has a sister, Nefera De Nile:
It's cool that they're making furniture and vehicles. Here is Draculaura's car:
This wave called Sweet 1600 is really cute.
