I missed the posting of this unique Halloween Sybarite. (Luckily for my credit card) Another collector was kind enough to send me the description and photo.
I just love the knife knitting needles. They're so fun. The gown is stunning. Someone commented that her lips are dark blue.
This beauty was a limited edition of 100 and sold out quickly as she was available to prior convention goers to pre-order.
Price before shipping = £255.25 or $394.57

W Club Luncheon and Gala Dinner - Cinematic Convention Part #4
On Saturday, the W Club Luncheon offered attendees the information about an upcoming line which will feature a 12" Tulabelle.
The dolls - blonde, blue-eyed and very white.

At the Saturday banquet it was announced that next year's convention will take place in Chicago.
The one character I would have wanted to buy is probably going to be the most difficult doll to obtain so I don't know if I'll try. There are 450 of them so she's not exactly 'rare.' I have lots of trades I can make for one but I'll just go and play with my Kingdom Dolls and forget all about her. Apparently Elyse is the new Vanessa.

Karolin Stone™ Dressed Doll (Main Souvenir Doll)
Opinion:
My overall impression of the offerings are very positive towards the dolls and their fashions. The least appealing dolls IMO were the Poppy Parkers except for the centerpiece doll and the OOAK. The Color Infusion male dolls rocked as did the workshop male. It goes to show you that a doll for $45. wearing a $35. outfit can be fabulous.
I'm not an Agnes fan but Vaughn's OOAK and the mini gift set were excellent.
A friend of mine told me yesterday that he spent $3000. so far. That's a lot of dolls.
I'm sure most attendees went home happy and loaded with dolls to keep and to sell.
What was your overall impression of the product?
Favorite? Least favorite? Quality?

I'm curious as to what charity this auction benefits. Or is there no charity? A convention of this scale should include some charitable event.

Color Infusion Style Lab: 2015 Cinematic Convention Post #2
This year's COLOR INFUSION STYLE LAB at the CINEMATIC Convention represents a departure from the looks offered in the past during this activity.
To celebrate the Cinematic theme, designer Vaughn Sawyers was inspired by old Hollywood for this collection and each character offered at the event represents one specific movie star of the golden era of Hollywood. Can you guess who they are?The collection has a bold new look, fresh new packaging designed to protect the dolls and incredible outfits. Those who purchased the entire collection this year were simply thrilled with the choices.
This year, the collection is composed of 12 dolls and 12 separate outfits. And for the first time since the start of this activity, the edition size per style is 600 pieces across the board. This was decided to ensure that each convention guest would get an equal chance to own one of each of these exciting characters!

"Museum Day" Fashion Design by K Exclusively for R&D
Rudi Teruel has been selling very limited editions of fashions made
by various artists these past few months. They sell out rather fast and
he advertises them only on Facebook.
This fashion is called "Museum Day." It came in a long-sleeved version in a red colorway. Originally there was a white ribbon belt and white ribbon straps which I removed. I thought the red belt looked more substantial and the dress obviously didn't need straps so I cut them off.
The quality of the fabric was surprising as is the very good construction of the panel skirt. It's fully lined with a light woven interfacing and all seams are finished. The dress snaps in the rear. Impressive! All this plus overseas postage for only $41.
The bag is a Birkin copy from the Purse of the Month Club and the red sunglasses and shoes are Fashion Royalty.
Below, Vanessa models the previous R&D fashion I received in August.
