Daily Dose of Vanessa

Today's Vanessa is "Intoxicating Mix" wearing an outfit called "My Precious Luxury Wear. " This was given to us at the 2005 Toronto convention. It came with the teddy bear.
Vanessa was the souvenir doll.

 Recently I began posting photos from my Vanessa archives on my Collecting Fashion Dolls by Terri Gold's Facebook page.

I thought it would be a good idea to coordinate the photos with this blog AND the FB page.
Here are the pictures I've posted of Vanessa recently:

If you are not already aware of it, this is a fantastic resource for Integrity Toys dolls: Jason Wu's Dolls Reference List 
I consult it on a regular basis to get names and dates correctly. And you thought I knew everything. Ha.

Like decadent desserts, binge watching your favorite TV shows, and frivolous luxury, the 2015 Tonner Convention is going to be Wilde… especially since it’s in Dallas, TX – the Wild West!

For those that delight in ‘evening’ wear, the PJ Party is BACK with a ferocious appetite for fun!

$50 Deposit will hold your spot!

Burning Cookies

I wanted to call this post "Can't Bake For Shit" but I thought better of it. One must maintain a certain level of civility.

Anyway, I had some fun today with Brunel and Superdoll's "Burning Cookies" outfit. The top and pants are large on Brunel but the shoes fit nicely. The wig is also sized for Sybarites and I had to put a silicone head cap on to keep it from moving about. It kind of messes up the shape of the wig but you wouldn't have known that if I didn't tell you. So there.

I have captions for all the photos but I think I'd rather leave them to your imagination. So, here are all five pictures.

Caption one or all.
I'd like to hear it. 
Or don't.
Whatever.
