2017 Convention Coverage Part 4: Saturday Evening Gala


As guests entered the ballroom, they were greeted by an absolutely stunning Adèle Makéda doll as the evening's centerpiece, standing amidst a gorgeous set of acrylic mountains and channeling the Snow Queen. As everyone sat down for this final meal of the weekend with their friends, they also received the final component to complete the "Build-a-Giftset" Nadja Rhymes; an adorable little dress that will make Nadja the cutest Sleeping Beauty ever!

Congratulations to all three winners. Each entry is fabulous!

The centerpiece Adele is a beauty. Nice to see that they used the Adele 2.0 sculpt.
Elyse is getting a bit over-used. She's my current favorite sculpt but I'll pass on this one. It's not special enough. 
It will be interesting to see how IT interprets Dal's creative White Rabbit for next year. It's precious! 

Portland, Oregon was announced as next year's location for a convention. Interesting choice.

2017 Convention Coverage Part 3... The Welcome Gala and East 59th After Hours Cocktail



A gorgeous Agnes was waiting for everyone at their table, looking ominous and edgy while sitting on her giant throne, dressed in a look inspired by the Evil Queen in Snow White. The big surprise of the evening was the announcement that the designers opted to mix the brands a little this year and Poppy Parker was unveiled as being the giveaway doll of the evening, looking ever so sweet in her Snow White inspired look.As a bonus to the centerpiece and surprise table gift of the evening, everyone received a gorgeous Nadja Rhymes doll, part one of the "Build-a-Giftset" box everyone received at registration.

Once the ballroom festivities ended, those who purchased a ticket headed to the East 59th Afterhours Cocktail, featuring Cinderella and her wicked step-mother. We drank champagne and ate delicious mini-cupcakes! What a trip!

From Thursday evening's offerings, I would definitely want Evelyn Weaverton's outfit. It's a Dior-based design and looks beautiful.

What happened to Nadja's cute face? Why change a winner?




Another question - What body do the East 59th dolls have?

That is a whole lot of dolls for a convention collection. I'm almost speechless. This IT convention has got to be the most expensive one yet. Gone are the days of the 6—7 convention dolls that you could take home in your suitcase...with a table doll or two and some swag stuffed in there. This is incredible!

If I were going to try to get anything from this list, here it is:

-Vanessa's (outfit only) - pink and frothy. I love it.
-Veronique (without outfit) is intriguing. I like the 40's glam aura.
-Eden Blair (dressed doll) is very pretty and her outfit is adorable. Love her hair, the boots, the 'turquoise' jewelry and the western hat. Unique combination. She is IMO the winner of all the dolls on this page.
-Erin's sheer embroidered top only. Nice piece. Interesting styling of her hair.

I don't remember Amelie and Misaki ever showing up at a convention. Misaki is cute. I used to have a good sized collection of her. Now I have just one. Their bodies did not hold up well.
