Last week a dealer posted some IRL images of this Eugenia in an eBay auction. A collective sigh of relief was heard from collectors and I know quite a few that contacted their dealers to order the doll

Stardust ~ Thursday, June 3, 2010
I recently joined a webgroup that is posting a picture a day of ONE of their dolls! I honestly don’t think I have 365 dolls (my husband & kids probably think differently) but it’s been lots of fun – and I wanted to share with you! First of all is pictured my Raving Beauty doll* – I got her when I was in 4th grade. She had to attend a Dolly Spa because this is what she looked like several years ago: Sad isn’t it? But she refreshed nicely and stands proudly in Millie’s Studio! (We won’t mention that’s she’s waiting for the creation of the blue taffeta dress she arrived in!) Others wondered if she was a composition doll but actually after World War II, the doll industry began using hard plastic for dolls including Toni and Ginny dolls.

Gene’s Final Curtain Call ~ Part III ~ More Favorite Gene Photographs
Last night I dressed two of my Gene dolls in fashions recently acquired. They are waiting to be photographed and I visualized them looking over their shoulders as they retreated from the front of a stage on the last night of their performance. In a few days I will have begun to attend my first and last Gene Marshall convention.

I am so bummed about the new Miss Revlon doll. I keep hoping that each time I look at her I will find something pretty about her face but it’s not working. I wanted to adore this doll because I had a Little Miss Revlon doll as a child

The W Club 2010 Upgrade Fashion Royalty Doll “Spring Forward” has shipped. Eugenia has a gorgeous sculpt and the screening on this version is unusual. Her lips are pale peach and she’s wearing bright turquoise eyeshadow.
This morning the Sunday Breakfast starring Miss Piggy and Kermit also saw a successful charity auction raise more than $11,000 to benefit A Friend’s House. The centerpiece dolls were Miss Piggy as “Swined & Dined” – LE 100 and Kermit the Frog as “A Fly in His Soup” – LE 100. Kermit is a new character and will be available later on in the line.

"Unforgettable" The Tonner Revlon Event
The theme of this Tonner convention is “The Sun, The Moon and The Stars.” It will celebrate the fashion and pop culture influences in Robert Tonner’s doll designs. Sounds fabulous, doesn’t it? I am not at the convention, unfortunately, but I am following it on the Tonner convention blog and through friends

While I’m visiting my daughter and waiting for our first grandchild to arrive, I decided to create a paper mache giraffe. He is going to be 6 ft tall and will be displayed in the baby’s jungle theme bedroom. Here is the giraffe which was started using a chicken wire sculpture.

The original Room With a View standard wall unit opens to 53″ wide and is 20″ tall. I bought the one that is magnetic on both sides and it’s very heavy but quite sturdy.

I don’t have any familiarity with the Dark-Hunter series at all. I’m guessing they hunt vampires and I like vampires so there you go. The artists over at Integrity Toys (who could that be?) have designed these dolls but AD is handling the distribution

The latest Fashion Royalty doll, Flame Blue Vanessa, that’s been causing rending of garments and begging, is beginning to arrive at collectors’ homes and Christina, often first on the scene, has posted several gorgeous shots of Vanessa.

Review of Incandescent Monogram Doll
No, I’m not talking about Frankenstein’s monster tonight but I do feel as if I’ve been reading a scary book. I may be the last to know but there’s mold in them there hills and on some of the Real Estate Agnes dolls. The dolls may have been boxed with damp hair
