I love the gold eye shadow, red lips and raven hair. It looks like the wig cap is a long pony tail. It's an excellent look for this resin BJD.

No Surprise Here: IDEX 2014 is Cancelled
Those who have been involved or who have attended IDEX received this letter today:
IDEX 2014 CANCELED
The collectible doll and teddy bear
trade show IDEX Premiere has been canceled for 2014 and will discontinue
all show operations moving forward. While we have enjoyed working with
the doll and teddy bear industry over the last decade, we have made the
difficult decision to cancel the show and all of its related events and
workshops.
IDEX, a trade show dedicated to the
celebration of dolls, teddy bears, toys and collectible playthings, ran
without interruption for twenty-two years. Held in cities all over the
country, most recently in Orlando, Florida, IDEX was for many years the
premiere place to see what trends and developments were to come in the
industry, meet and mingle with fellow collectors, and learn crafting
skills at a myriad of workshops. While we are sad to see IDEX come to an
end, we have a wealth of great memories and personal friendships that
will stay with us for a lifetime.
In closing, we would like to thank all
of the artists, exhibitors, manufacturers, buyers and collectors who
made IDEX a vibrant and exciting environment for more than two decades.
We wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Susan Fitzgerald
Vice President, IDEX
What we saw last April, was a huge decrease in attendance of larger manufacturers such as Madame Alexander. I had not attended the prior two years but three years ago, the showroom floor was a bustling area with more than one could take in in a day. This time it was downright boring. Except for 4 or 5 booths, little was worth the time and/or effort to look at.
It is entirely possible that part of the demise of IDEX is due to the changed date from winter to spring. February is Toy Fair in New York. January has been the month to attend IDEX. And the hotel change was a mistake as well. I loved the Rosen Shingle Creek. In a blog post created on 9/26/10, I describe the hotel.
Soon all business will be conducted without talking to a real human in person. That's what's 'trending.'

Lawn Has Weeds
She arrived today. I love her fashion. It's better than it looks in the promos. But I am very disappointed because she has several defects. There is a yellow streak of paint on her neck. It's not a small amount either. There are also a few scratches on her torso which I examined after I found the paint.
I sent an email to the appropriate folks at Superfrock and I attached 6 large photo close-ups of the problems. The test of customer service will make it's results shown tomorrow if they do not answer right away. They ask to be notified in 24 hours if there is a problem. I expect a reply within the same amount of time. Honestly, the only answer I will be happy with is a new body. They can have the damaged one picked up and send me another.
