SALE ALERT! Radio City Rockette Trunk and The Doll Market's Weekly Web Specials

I'm signed up to receive weekly lists of specials from The Doll Market. Most of the time their prices are not all that good or the merchandise is of no interest to me.  I do love my 10" Madame Alexander Cissettes so when I saw the Radio City Rockette Trunk set offered for $99.97 the juices started flowing. What I do when presented with that type of sale is I search the internet for comparable prices. Right off the bat, Amazon.Com came up with the same doll set for $99.95 and free shipping. Doll Market loses due to the shipping differrence but I know that some of you are boycotting Amazon so, there you go.
The list price is $279.95.

Madame  Alexander Radio City Rockette Trunk Set feat. Cissette
I love trunk sets because of all the outfits and the storage trunk is usually cute as well.
Description:

10 inch vinyl fully articulated "Radio City Rockette" Cissette doll has red hair, blue eyes; she comes wearing a blue satin leotard that has crystal embellishments and fur on trim of leotard and opera gloves. A matching white hat, white choker, pantyhose and silver shoes completes this Rockettes look. This Cissette has three different outfits that come in a keepsake trunk; the other two are: a green velveteen pleated dress that has puffed sleeves, silver and crystal accents, fur trimmed hemlines and a matching festive hat. The other outfit is a slick leotard that has a flesh colored and gold laced bust attached at the bottom to the bodice that has red vertical stripes and has red tights attached. The final touches for this outfit are the gold leather shoes and a straw hat with a large white feather attached. 
Get ready for Christmas early! It's a good price and with the free shipping, it's sweeter.

Couture Doll Design Challenge III Winner, Huckleberry Jackson


Faced with plenty of stiff competition by contestants in the US, Canada, Poland, Philippines, Russia and the Ukraine, the only entrant from Germany, Huckleberry Jackson,  swept several of the challenges completely. He is one seriously talented designer!


The final overall scores are presented in this chart:


  It is apparent that Jackson's muse is the FR2 doll as most of his entries used these dolls as models. 



Congratulations to Huck on this achievement.

Byers' Choice

 Here are the zillions of pictures I took at Byers' Choice. They had a huge collection of creche sculptures and creations from all over the world. That was one of the most interesting displays in the entire place. Their gardens have won horticulture awards. It was a very worthwhile visit.

SALE ALERT! Fashion Doll Agency (FDA)

This may be a first for this doll designer. At least it's the first sale of theirs I've seen. They are selling off early outfits and combination outfits and shoe/accessory packs at very reasonable prices.

Since discovering that someone out there in the world (other than FDA) makes cute outfits for these emaciated dolls at a decent price I have decided to keep Marcella.
Of course she needed MORE clothes.
