Geometry - First Photo Shoot

Geometry will need lots of camera time. I think she needs a wig removal as well. This wig will not work with all the fashions she's going to be wearing.

In this photograph, Geometry is wearing a Ficon gown and Avantguard shoes. She is holding a felted toy poodle. (The largest Rudette.)

Stardoll by Barbie and 2012 Showcase

Have you seen the new Stardolls? Are you annoyed because they are not articulated? These dolls are really adorable. Their clothes are uber cute and edgy and I'd like to have some of them for my younger-looking dolls. Their hairstyles are attractive and they have rooted eyelashes.  I love that strapless yellow and black babydoll top.

There are eight dolls and three accessory packs. The dolls are $20.99, accessory packs $15.99. All are available now on the Barbie collector.com website.

The 2012 Barbie Basics line will be available to order on 12/8. This line consists of six dolls with the Model Muse body and two accessory packs. All of the dolls are wearing bathing suits and carrying large handbags.  It just more of the 'same old, same old' here.

Dolls retail for $19.95. Accessory Packs are $14.95.

There's lots more to see.

If you need a good laugh, in the description for the Dancing With the Stars dolls, it says:

Doll cannot dance.

Imagine that.

New 12" Resin BJD from R. Leigh Slaughter

 Portland, Maine - Bird & Petal is a line of high quality urethane resin 12″ fashion ball-jointed dolls designed and produced by doll artist R. Leigh Slaughter. These dolls are bridging the gap between 16″ Fashion BJD and 12″ vinyl dolls, bringing the pleasure of the realistically sculpted BJD experience to 1/6th scale!

“These dolls are made for 12” doll enthusiasts who are looking for an alternative to the vinyl doll scene,” said Slaughter. “I remember the uncertainty of switching over to 16” BJD and wishing there was a high quality, beautifully sculpted BJD in ⅙ scale. I think these dolls will provide that to today's collectors.”

Bird and Petal (birdandpetal.com) dolls are produced in the US by the artist in Portland, Maine, with a

commitment to keeping production in the US and all of the accessories and packaging made domestically or locally.
