One Collector's Sybarite Display

Posted by JymmiI on Prego today, I couldn't resist snatching it to show on the blog.  This is fantastic in every way. Click on it to see full size. The details and use of accessories from many sources is wonderful.

Reinterpreted Valentino - Source Picture

Here's another version of the Valentino. I need a better picture.

Robert Best Loves Valentino

Stratos sent me this image which is obviously the source of the Palm Beach Coral fashion. If anyone can find the full size image of the fashion and/or knows the date of the Valentino, please email it to me. (Note: date found.)

The silk serge gown with handpainted coral motif is from the Spring/Summer 1968 collection.

Pinch of Platinum™ Barbie Doll®

Why is this doll $85.00?  Just because they apply "Platinum Label" to the box? While I'm quite sure she will look very pretty (in the box) in a collection, she is not worth it.
Here is the description from BC.Com:

Grecian-inspired, high-fashion cocktail dresses define this line of dolls named after precious metals. Pinch of Platinum Barbie is the third in a series by the inimitable Robert Best, a Platinum Label® doll limited to less than 1,000 dolls worldwide. She features the Aphrodite facial sculpt, a one-shouldered diaphanous white dress gathered at the waist with platinum-colored sequins, and heels with an exquisite encrusted look. Elegant, understated, and all the more stunning for it!
There is a limit of 1 doll per BFC™ membership while supplies last.

Release date: 05/25/2011

Still available on the BC.Com site and elsewhere: Black label Barbie Basics Model No. 03; Collection 001.5; Released 6/2010; $19.95.  Steffie head mold.

 Angelic Dreamz presents to you a unique collection of 10 gowns by Ovaz. Each design is a Limited Edition of only 10 pieces. Although they were designed for the JAMIEshow body they will fit other 16 inch dolls such as the Sybarite, Deva, Tonner as well as select others. I want all of them! Sigh. I love dressing my dolls in gowns.
