Knave of Hearts and FR Kyori Redressed

The registration doll, Knave of Hearts, is turning out to be one of the most beautiful dolls I've gotten recently. Here she is dressed in Gene Marshall's Candied Lavender fashion. Who wears it better?

It doesn't fit perfectly. Gene's waist is smaller and her chest is larger so the zipper does not go up past the lower back. The style suits her though.

I'm not thrilled with these pictures.

I've just set up a new laptop and monitor and along with that I'm using a new version of Photoshop which is several years advanced from my last version. I will have to do the tutorials because I have no idea what I can do...or should do to improve my workflow and all those good things I used to do previously. It's very fast and way more complicated. Should be fun. Not.

Talc got a few new outfits recently and was just hanging around in her showcase wondering why I wasn't taking pictures of her. I don't have time, that's why!

Finally, my favorite hybrid OOAK Kyori was redressed in a combination of FR fashions. I'll let you figure out where they came from.  In fact, if you do guess the source of all of her clothing and accessories, I will send you a gift.

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?
