Rebel Princess "Precious"

Here is the listing on Superdoll's page that just went up. I love the outfit on this one!  
241.89 British Pounds equals $380.60 US Dollars.  Postage to the US $67.58. Isn't that how much is used to cost for the resin Sybarites? It seems quite high although DHL, the service that delivers here, is excellent. They do not run over the packages with their trucks and that's a good thing. Total cost with shipping to US $448.18.




PRECIOUS - GEN X - DD_088

After years in development we are delighted to present
our ALL NEW Vinyl formula. version T-5 sample.

REBEL PRINCESS Generation_X
Clone: 1000 Venus d'Royce

*please note different monitors may show colours differently.
*production may vary individually and from prototype shown.

Dreamy vanilla caramel eyes, arched for attitude brows in blonde with shadow of rose and muted blacks. Lids in translucent dark grey. Lips the colour of geranium infused rose.

Huge blonde wig bearing center parting, in a 'voluptuous' state; cascading down either side of her face and swirling into waist length big loose curls.

Today would be a day out with the gurls. Shopping? Lunch? High Tea?, and Venus has no intention of getting back to her ivory tower before daybreak, so she decided on her leopard and paisley 'girly pentagram' puffed sleeve smock frock; a pair of 'off beat' fishnet track pants. And just in case it gets a bit nippy on this summers eve, a huge big yellow fur wrap! She has this day to night to day feeling! Wrapping her neck in bling  'gold' chokers to accentuate her cute organza collar and bow, she also added an arm full of white lacquer bracelets. and finally adding that 'what the heck is Boho anyway?' slouchy fringed shoulder bag of olive, trimmed in real leather with England smiley, made her feel she had all she needs in a purse.

She walked through the palace hallway, heading straight for the open door of her unmarked tinted window auto with her chauffeur closing the door, she murmured to herself, "see ya later".
Venus was heading out till tomorrow!

Additional accessories: her cute flower and princess crown headpiece and her stiletto golfing slip-ons in bronze, gold and hologram.

-manic_cure hands (see booklet for hand change instructions)

SHANTOMMO's Haute Couture 2015: Three New Looks

If you are not on his mailing list, get it done! Ryan Liang has been creating edgy fashions for quite a while but I just received my first last month and I'm a total fan. This dress, modeled by Veronique on an FR2 body, is from his Dark Fantasy Collection. It's made very well and I love it.

Ryan's new collection consists of three fashions for your 12" dolls as seen below:


They sold out very quickly but it you get on the mailing list, you may be able to snag one or more for yourself next time.

Emma Jean's "Dramatic Entrance" Outfit

Described as a "simple black knit dress beneath a stunning rich and creamy coat trimmed in faux fur and a velvety collar," this is the one and only item from the Deja Vu line that I have ordered. I don't own any Deja Vu dolls but I fell in love with the look of this ensemble and rightly assumed that the roomy coat would fit any of my 16" dolls.

Modeling here is Tonner's Cami. The dress, which I don't show, is slightly on the tight side as I couldn't snap all the snaps. I did not put on the black hosiery and the shoes, although they fit, have a more of an arch than Cami's feet have.

 The large collar can be turned up.
On Cami, the hat is too large so a straight pin was used to take up the slack. If I had wanted to put the hat all the way down to her eyebrows, it might have been the correct diameter.


The ensemble really should have come with earrings. It wouldn't have been a big deal to make matching jet bead studs.

I like the construction of the coat but this very visible spot needs attention. Where is the other half of the triangle?

The promotional photo below doesn't look like my coat. I wonder if they are all this way. I need another triangle to replace the half that's there...or something.
Instead of placing the triangles this way, the appliques should have been shifted around so no triangle had to be halved. That's a design flaw. Perhaps the factory made the decision.


Here is what the shoes look like on Cami.

In spite of everything, I like the outfit and will be putting it on one of my BJDs.
