JamieSHOW Doll HAVANA Nights 2013

Angelic Dreamz new 2013 line of Jamieshow dolls, Havana Nights, has debuted. Check them out and go shopping! The male dolls are $360 each; the females are $350.

Angelic Dreamz spent the last three years developing this line along with JAMIEshow to bring you the first BJD Fashion doll produced exclusively for the USA market and marketed directly by a USA Dealer.  Working with the factory directly we are able to bring you the most exquisite resin doll at factory direct pricing saving the consumer as much as 50% on these dolls. 

The JAMIESHOW 1/4 fashion BJD's combine the poseable ball structure of a BJD with the elegant figure of 16-inch fashion doll in a perfect way. They are designed with 19 points of articulation for holding a variety of very human poses. Accessories for almost every other 16-inch fashion doll and fashion BJD, such as clothes, shoes and wigs are all suitable for JAMIESHOW BJD and vice versa.

One of the remarkable features of JAMIESHOW is the high-performance resin called Smooth J, which is solely made for BJD's by the JAMIESHOW design team, it has far better properties than any other BJD material used ever before. Most of all, it doesn't have any VOC substance or any hazardous metal elements , no odor emitting at all during the sanding process, It can pass the most stringent regulation such as EN71,AB1108, HR4040, etc. It is a bona fide environment friendly material.

 From left to right they are Ling Lan, Sasha, Grace and Ginny:

 Lee, Tatum and Alejandro:

Havana Nights dolls all dolls have 20 points of articulation, which include upper leg articulation.  Girl dolls are 16" Tall, boys 17" Tall.  Included is the Face-up, painted eyes, body blushing, clothing and shoes as shown, rooted wig cap as shown and solid wig cap for regular wigs,  as well as a JAMIEshow articulated doll stand.  They are made of the same Smooth-J® Resin.

The girls can wear all the JAMIEshow shoes, rooted wigcaps and accessory hands.

Emilia Couture: OOAK Inamorata Collection Petrographie: Aimant

Emilia wrote:

I've had this OOAK collection ready for a while, but was planning to release it only after the Cherub and Seraph were out. However, there seems to be a delay after another from the factories (now the fashion factory told us there will be a delay of 3 weeks at least in the production) so I thought I'd unveil it now to give you something to pass the time while waiting for the LE dolls. The Petrographie collection consist of 3 dressed OOAK dolls: Aimant, Grès and Craie. The first 2 feature the African Nnaji sculpt and Craie features the Asian Miao sculpt. All the dolls are hand painted, and all the fashions and shoes hand made by em'lia. More photos at flickr set.

Aimant is the first doll in the Petrographie collection and features the African Nnaji sculpt. Her face is hand painted with brown eyes, shimmering copper eye shadow and her parted liquorish lips with a flicker of a tongue are metallic lavender with black ombre effect. Her nail polish is a French manicure in metallic grey with black tips.

 

Her outfit consists of a under bust brocade corset dress with armoured hips, lavender silk panties with garters holding up a pair of net stockings, copper leatherette choker top, oriental platform sandals in copper and lavender Qing dynasty inspired headdress with a cascade of hand applied copper glass beads and threads of torn netting. All items are hand made by em'lia.

 

 Aimant will be sold through silent auction via email. The bidding starts at 1200usd. Please send your offer to emiliacouture@gmail before midnight on Wednesday the 17th. You will get an email in reply to confirm your bid and a notification if you will be outbid. The winner will be notified on Thursday 18th of July and 50% deposit must be paid within 24hours. The rest must be paid by 2nd of August. Payments are by Paypal and the shipping with EMS or DHL including tracking and full insurance is 79usd.
