Booth and Garrick Meet

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.

Jamieshow with Mel Odom debuted their newest resin Gene Marshall doll today. She's called "Holiday Gala."

Here is the description from the website:

Ltd Edition of 125

Pre Order Item

Shipping beginning of December

Price: $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.
