Knave of Hearts

This is the Knave of Hearts, the registration doll we were given at the Halloween convention. She is dressed in an Ellowyne dress. I wasn't going to keep or buy any more Cami sculpt dolls but this one is quite different from my others.

New Rules for Anonymous Posts

Up until now I have allowed 99% of all posts to be published but there is a troll who is going from post to post making remarks that do not contribute anything worthwhile to doll collectors. If you can identify yourself and wish to disparage a doll or a company, it is up to you to take responsibility for your remarks. If you wish to make hateful statements about a certain company's dolls and are afraid to post your name, you don't exist as far as I am concerned. Go back under your rock and knock your pusillanimous self out.

Off With Their Heads!

Are you here to see the Queen? Only I can behold her.



Do not look in her eyes.


She is bored and pissed.


She will have your head.

I warned you.


Poesie Vanessa for $1997. ????

Someone has posted a NRFB Poesie Sans Couleur Vanessa for 1450 Euros OBO on the Show & Sell pages. Either the person is nuts or I've been in hibernation. When did the asking price for a NRFB more than double?

If you are not familiar with this Fashion Royalty doll she was the first of three Atelier dolls and a limited edition of 500. She was a 2005 FDQ exclusive and sold for $189. I remember seeing her picture in the magazine and I didn't particularly care for her. That was before I started collecting FR. I thought the price was outrageous for a doll. Who knew?

These are the promotional photos of the doll.




The presentation of the doll is extraordinarily beautiful as were all the Atelier giftsets. I purchased mine in 2007 for the ridiculously expensive price of $450. I never regretted it. Her body was the first articulated type and of course she was transferred to a tall body when they became available.
Some early pictures of my Poesie:





I rarely play with her anymore because her hair is too easy to mess up and requires care to  keep its curls neat. Gorgeous, isn't she?
