Angelic Dreamz posted a wonderful video using JAMIEshow dolls and Gene dolls modeling the Balenciaga inspired collection from Sandra Stillwell's Golden Gate Event. A video like this is one great answer to the question, "What are dolls for?"

JAMIEshow dolls are available at Angelic Dreamz and there are several fashions remaining for sale directly from Sandra. Links to both of these sites are underlined above.

POWERLESS
Compared to the power of nature there is nothing. We are powerless. Although reports keep saying that New York escaped major consequences, they fail to note that many NY State counties were crippled AFTER the storm was downgraded to a tropical. We watched as our 200 ft tall trees did the limbo in the wind. We heard cracking as a big one went over. The top of one of our tallest pines broke off and fell alongside the stream. Debris is everywhere and we are amongst the lucky in our area. Roads are blocked, bridges are washed away, power lines are down everywhere. In Woodstock, NY alone, no one has power, phone service or any essential service like that.
And yet it is a gorgeous day. Above the sound of our generator I can hear chirping and
bird songs. A handful of vehicles passes by in spite of the travel ban.
I am suffering from True Blood withdrawal. No television. I'm such an addict.

Seen on Prego Today
These gorgeous images posted by Adrian Cardozo really caught my eye this morning. This was originally a RDG Maya head, exclusive to Angelic Dreamz. Adrian gave her a Jamieshow body. The wig is her original wig, headband is Sybarite Moon's, dress is Numina Asher's, cinch belt by Ficon, bracelet by Paul Pham and shoes are from an eBay seller called beautytoys.
The inspiration for the faceup was inspired by Pris (Blade Runner) with a high fashion twist and was successfully interpreted by Kari Denker aka Liquid Sunshine.
I asked Adrian to describe his photo technique for the first image. Here is what he said:
Thanks to Adrian for sharing his unique doll and creative photo techniques. I love this stuff!

I asked Adrian to describe his photo technique for the first image. Here is what he said:
"Since today is a cloudy day, I took this picture indoors using a mix
of lights. I was looking for a warmer feeling. The lighting is coming
from below the dolls feet. I found this amazing old style XR reader
light (like doctors used to have on their offices) that still works
amazingly well...plus one more light from the front.
After I took the picture I simply selected the background in Photoshop and used the motion blur option plus added wind...blurred
again and added wind..I like the different texture that creates by
doing the same selection several times...."

A half truth is a whole lie. Yiddish Proverb
Integrity Toy's marketing director sent out an email apologizing about the Nu Fantasy Malicious' necklace not fitting. He could have just said that they made a manufacturing error and collectors have to take off the head to get the necklace on. Instead he proffered excuses along with instructions on removing doll heads.
"because of the shape of the necklace and the materials used, we were limited as far as manufacturing possibilities to make this piece happen while staying true to the design team's original vision for it."
So creative! One can twist words to make a mistake look intentional.
Limited manufacturing possibilities? The design team's vision?
I would say it was a lack of vision.
Stop the nonsense discourse!
I know a lot of collectors who are fearful of removing heads and would never even attempt to do so.
"because of the shape of the necklace and the materials used, we were limited as far as manufacturing possibilities to make this piece happen while staying true to the design team's original vision for it."
