Tom in CA posted this stunning photograph of an equally stunning 'convention' Oona in honor of Sandra Stillwell's convention which is taking place now in Chatanooga.
She is wearing a wig by the uber-talented Ilaria. Tom got the luggage from the collection of Ben Grundfast.

Jamieshow's Alejandro and Marlena "On Michigan Avenue" Dolls
At the end of May, 2015, the new "On Michigan Ave" Jamieshow dolls debuted. I ordered Alejandro and Marlena at the convention in Chicago. They arrived three days ago.
This Alejandro differs from my other one in that he has facial hair screening. I know they're supposed to have the same sculpt but I see a difference in the nose. My new one appears to have a narrower, longer nose. I guess it's possible that the casting changed a bit. His eyes look different as well. I like them both.
Here are closeups side by side. The new one is on the right. Both are wearing Chewin wigs.
The pink jacket, blue shirt and ripped jeans are all Jamieshow products which were available separately a while back. The quality of these items are far superior to what he came dressed in. Someone reminded me that he is only a basic doll and one can't expect much. What I do expect with a $400. doll is a stand. George Gonzalez, an owner of Jamieshow Dolls, says that the reason the male dolls don't come with stands is because they're anatomically correct. That is not a good reason as far as I'm concerned. All my dolls are on stands unless they're sitting down. I'd never display a resin doll without a stand. His junk doesn't keep the stand from working in any way especially when he's dressed.
Marlena has an unusual look with her very pale resin and sharp features. When I started playing with different wigs, I saw more possibilities. In these photos, she is wearing a Chewin wig meant for Sybarite dolls. Her fashion is a Superdoll outfit called "D-I-V-O-R-C-E." It fits pretty well except in the bust area. Marlena has a smaller cup size.
She has a look that can kill. With those piercing blue eyes and thin, mean lips she is not a doll for the faint of heart. I enjoyed putting a flowered hat on her. It's so opposite from the vibe she gives off.

Kinsman Doll Preview
Here's a first look at the two upcoming 17" resin BJDs from the artists at Kingdom Doll. Kinsman Doll is a separate entity; however, they will compete for your dolly dollars from what I can see.
I do not know how much they will cost or when they will be for sale but I do know that they will be highly coveted.
Meet Garrick and Booth
Garrick has that haunting and intense Heathcliff vibe
Booth knocks me out. I will have him. Hahaha.

Wearing the Same Old Outfit!
Going through my photos this afternoon and I thought it would be a good idea to post dolls who have never had an outfit change.
Sometimes they're just perfect the way they are.
I lied. I just changed Allure last week. But she stayed this way up to that point.
Vanessa (the original sculpt) wins. She always has.
I have three other FR dolls who are still dressed in their original clothes. Somehow they escaped my camera. I don't know how.
My only other dolls who don't get changed are my 5 Cissy megaliths and many Silkstone dolls.
I don't play with the Cissy, the Silkstone or any of my Madame Alexander 10" dolls. I do have some Tiny Kitty dolls who have not had wardrobe changes but that's for another post, maybe.
Do you have many dolls you don't change?
