Photography Accessories



Are you familiar with the shop called Photojojo? I love this site. They offer the coolest and quite useful gadgets for iPhone, Adroid and DSLR users. They also have some unique alternative photography equipment. I find that they are reasonably priced as well.
Today I ordered the Olloclip 4-in-one iPhone Lens. It's a four-in-one lens system that fits over the corner of your iPhone. The fourth lens is a 15x Macro for the 5/5s.

There are so many products here that can be used to improve and enhance doll photography!

Special offer below. Click on the link and you will get $5. off on your purchase. Me, too!  Even if you don't buy anything, it's worth looking and putting yourself on their mailing list. They do not spam.

ETHNI:CITY by cho:lo doll couture F/W 2013

Do you want to be awestruck? Then head on over to Cholo Ayuyao's Flickr to see his newest show, Ethni:City, an extravaganza of stunning fashion design for 16" dolls.  Each of the 10 fashions demonstrates the artist's skill in embellishment, construction and use of multiple fabrics. All come together as wearable art for dolls. I am sure there are many of us who would love to have one or more of Cholo's creations. Offers are being taken.

Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction Sale

 Rudy Teruel of R&D Dolls has been organizing an auction event for the benefit of people who have suffered and continue to suffer as a result of the super typhoon in the Philippines. The auction will take place on December 15 - tomorrow.

Most, if not all, of you am sure are aware of the recent tragedy that is Typhoon Yolanda, or Haiyan Typhoon, as more commonly known in the West.  Said to be the worst ever Typhoon in the history to date, it struck the Philippines and left over 7,000 people dead ( with many more unaccounted for) and left millions of people with Nothing!  And I mean Nothing!  No houses, no clothing, no food, no livelihood...  Thanks to those who sent aid fast - from all over the world - people are getting some much needed help...  But as we know with something as devastating as this - much more Aid will be Needed for some time to come.

We, at R&D Collectibles, decided to do our share - and with the help of our many dolly friends worldwide - we will hold a Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction / Sale come middle of December.  Now, we know that it means everyone will be in the midst of their Holiday preparations and Celebrations - but we do hope that you will take the time to look through and purchase something for a love one, family, friends or even for yourself!  It will just give your Dolly purchase a bit more meaning, knowing that your $$$ will help the victims of Haiyan Typhoon.
Collectors, designers and dealers all over the world have been sending in contributions which you can see at Rudy's site here: http://rnddolls.blogspot.com/
The dolls include Barbie, Fashion Royalty, Misaki, Momoko, DAE's Vivian, Evangeline Ghastly, Pullip, OOAK Monster High, Tyler Wentworth and more.
