"Secret Garden" First Wilde Weekend!

Wilde Imagination registration goes live tomorrow June, 6.

A WILDE WEEKEND!

Join Ellowyne and friends as history is made at the FIRST EVER Wilde Weekend: "Secret Garden." Don't let the grass grow under your feet. Instead, travel to the fertile ground of Louisville, KY, where everything will be coming up roses! The Wilde adventure takes place on October 5-7, 2012. You'll sleep on a bed of roses in the enchantingly historical Seelbach Hilton Hotel - the one and the same where Tom and Daisy Buchanan held their wedding reception in The Great Gatsby. We hear the hotel is haunted by the Lady in Blue. Evangeline might find that quite interesting...

Even Ellowyne is looking forward to the festivities which will include lots of doll fun, endlessly entertaining events, and...did we mention the incredible dolls? You'll be thrilled as you leave with your pockets full of posies and an Ellowyne souvenir that will be as fresh and delicate as a flower...

 

Spend a weekend with Ellowyne and friends, Evangeline, Amelia, Theodora and the entire Wilde Imagination crew. You'll be amazed and delighted! The entire Wilde Weekend costs $349 per person. 

Registration will begin online June 6, 2012.

Limited to 200.

Be sure and visit the Seelbach's website and read up on all of the historical figures who have stayed there over the past 105 years:

Room rates will be $149 per night

Additional weekend activities will be announced soon.

Amazing Wigs by Anthony of Hawaii

Earlier this evening Anthony Hawaii posted dolls wearing his latest collection of wigs. He stated that they are the colors of spring inspired from the Splendors of Mother Earth "OOAK Bouquets of Eden Wig Collection."
The wigs are completely made from saran. Yes, even the parts that represent florals are saran. Unbelievable. Now I've seen some big wigs with pieces of colored saran sticking out here and there but no one does it as gracefully or artistically as Anthony.

Auden - Back to Brooklyn

Let me come right out and say this is a great doll! His outfit is well designed and executed. It fits perfectly. I ordered Auden mainly because his shoes were a knock-out. The rest of the fashion is really top notch.

With the tie not pushed up under the collar, the collar lays much nicer. Well done!

 Look at all the tiny buttons sewn on! The details are amazing.

 The hair - not so great. I wish I could style it differently and not ruin it. Male dolls need wigs for short styles or flocking or long pony tails.

How can a doll like this be manufactured so well and retail for only $65?  I'm asking because there are similar sized dolls coming from IT that don't have such fabulous outfits costing twice as much and more.
