My Favorite Fashion Royalty Sculpt, Vanessa

I'm talking about the real Vanessa, not Waldo. This is Aerodynamic Vanessa.

She was repainted by Vin Trapani and given an FR2 body.

 I did not like True Royalty Vanessa at first. She had a pushed in face and looked emotionally damaged. She may have been the palest Fashion Royalty doll to have ever been released at that time and would have made a great vampire.

 

I worked with heat on her head to reshape it. When I still didn't like her, I had her rerooted. No gold ring yet.  The other day, after plucking the chicken feathers out of Go North's gorgeous gown, I put it on True Royalty, combed her hair partially over her face and loved it. Yay!

Evangeline Disappears into the Darkness

The remaining exclusive LE100 A Dark Night Evangeline dolls sold out shortly after going on sale today on the Wilde Imagination site. They were offered at the same $220. price which reception goers paid last Friday.

Shipping was free today for any of the weekend's Ennui items and the WI website was crawling due to the large numbers of shoppers checking in there.

The Day of Ennui ~ The Sequel luncheon souvenir doll, Ellowyne LE200 and the two companion/table dolls, Amber and Prudence, were also available. All three dolls were offered for $195 each with special offer of $320 for those wishing to buy Prudence and Amber as a set. As of 1:21 PM EDT, all three dolls are still available.

As an attendee, I was disappointed to see these dolls go up for sale so fast but I wasn't surprised because they do this after every event. 

I'm sorry to say that the design of the three Ennui dolls last year were far superior to these with regard to their fashions and hairstyling.

Look at the intricate hair-dos on last year's dolls. The outfits were adorable and substantial. While the faces and the inset eyes and lashes on the six are all beautiful, this year's pale by comparison in every other way.
