Fellow collector and friend, Maureen (Mo in PA,) dropped in yesterday with her Kinsman Garrick Doll. We spent some time in my studio comparing and photographing them.
Kinsman dolls are a welcome addition to the hi-end, realistic male BJD world.
Maureen also brought along one of the earliest versions of Milou who got into the action, possibly against her will.
I posted this photo on Prego and asked for captions. They were all clever but the ones that had me laughing were:
—She yearned for more, but she just didn't have the guts. - Jackie_NJ
—"come on baby, light my wire" - URIAH
—I told her those crash diets are just no good for you... would she listen ... - Karen in New Zealand

Sale on Wigs at Audrey's Doll Gallery
Audrey's announced their year end sale yesterday. They are offering 50% off on a good selection of wigs. Monique wigs often need a little trim to perfect them but with prices at around $10 compared to $65 for hard cap wigs, you can't go wrong.
I ordered these three in 4/5 for my guys. From top to bottom they are Jade, Red and JoJo. They come in several different colors.

Here is the description from the website:
Dressed in a hostess outfit consisting of a Silver and Lavender Damask bodysuit and a silk satin wrap skirt tied with a lovely diamond brooch at the waist. Platform shoes and Fuchsia gloves. Gene has beautiful blue eyes and a blonde rooted wig cap, fuchsia lips, nails and toes. All served in a lovely dressing room box, with dressing table, stool and mirror, box converts to a wardrobe with two poles and comes with 4 hangers.Ltd Edition of 125Pre Order ItemShipping beginning of DecemberPrice: $550.
I like the soft lavender pastel tones of the hostess ensemble but the fuchsia gloves totally overpower everything. Cover up the gloves when you're looking at the first and third photos and you can appreciate the total image. The shoes are wonderful.
The dressing table, bench and mirror in the doll box is a great idea.
Gene's face has a lovely soft look.
