The more I look at Vapore, the more I like her. Today she is dressed in the outfit called "Love" which I acquired by trading with another collector. The purse is her own.

Madame Alexander 2013 Dolls
It's that time of year again for me to drool over my secret passion - baby faced dolls. I probably won't be adding new MA dolls to my collection this year as I still look for deeply discounted ones from several years ago.
For this post I will show only the 21" Cissy and 10" Cissette dolls.
21" Madame Alexander-1923 is a fully articulated Cissy dressed as she would've been in 1923 when she began the company. Limited Edition of 125 dolls.
21" Scarlett O'Hara Prayer Dress is a fully articulated Cissy with
green eyes and wavy, center-parted, shoulder length brunette hair pulled
up on the sides and held with a red bow.
10" Sylvia From the Ballet Sylvia is a fully articulated Cissette.
10" Snowflake from The Nutcracker Collection is a fully articulated, Cissette with blue eyes and upswept black braids wearing a magnificent white tutu.
10" fully articulated, Cissette Celebrates Madame's 90th Anniversary.
Queen Victoria, having sat on the throne for 63 years, is the longest
reigning monarch in British history. She set the tone for many aspects
of British life but none more so than fashion. She is a 10" fully
articulated Cissette.
10" Zelda Fitzgerald - infamous wife of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald - is a fully articulated Cissette.
10" Denise Boulet is a fully articulated Cissette.
10" Theodora, who would eventually be the Wicked Witch of the West, is
fully articulated with brown eyes and side-parted brunette hair that's
swept to one side and fashioned into a braided bun.
10", fully articulated Glinda, has brown eyes and long, blonde wavy hair.
10" Evanora, fully articulated with brown eyes and side-parted, brunette
hair pulled back and styled into a loose bun, looks more beautiful than
you'd ever expect the future Wicked Witch of the East to look.
Coffee or Tea with Pan Am, a fully articulated stewardess, as they were
called, with short, curly Taffy Tan hair, dressed as she would be in
1970.
10" Scarlett O'Hara Honeymoon Dress is a fully articulated Cissette with
green eyes and brunette hair pulled back to a low bun at the nape.
10" Dorothy in the Poppy Fields is a fully articulated Cissette.
10" Wicked Witch of The West and The Winged
Monkeys is a fully articulated, green-faced meanie who has dark eyes and
black hair pulled up into a top-knot.
10" Glinda The Good Witch and The Lullaby League is a fully articulated,
Cissette, with blue eyes and long, curly Taffy Tan hair, wearing a
gorgeous pink gown.
And there is so much more. If I were going to pick my favorites, I'd get the Madame Alexander 21" Cissy holding the two little dolls. The Cissette I like best is the Scarlett O'Hara Honeymoon Dress doll. The cutest ones are the Oz dolls. So adorable!
These are just partial descriptions of the dolls taken from www.matildadolls.com who has the world's most extensive list and pictures of Madame Alexander dolls. All of these dolls can be purchased there. She also carries some Gene Marshall dolls and fashions!

Vanessa
Throughout the years of my blogging, I have written about how I love Fashion Royalty Vanessa. When the 'designers' over at IT started messing with her face, they caused problems for those of us who loved her original big-eyed, open mouth look. One doll that appeared at the end of the convention in 2011 was an FR2 Vanessa called Evermore. She was just a little more popular than her very unpopular gown, many of which can hardly be given away.
Her eyes were slitty and her hair was designed in an unbalanced, off center bird's nest swirl. Not terrible but very hard-looking and not how I want my Vanessas to look.
I took the nest out and cut it off in an impulsive moment. Fooling around produced this silly look. It was fun.
Her pointy head hung around in a drawer until a few months ago when I sent her to be rerooted. Then she hung around even longer waiting to be styled.
This was my first attempt at doing a wrapped pony tail. I used a lot of Got-To-Be-Glued hair product to hold the wrap in place. I do not understand how people use pins to hold hair in place. Pins are straight (usually) and the hair just flops around them. Obviously there is a lot about hair styling I have yet to learn.
Here's my gal now.
Much better.But I really should have her eyes repainted. Sigh.
