According to a W Club Update email sent out yesterday, Jason Wu has “taken on a consulting position for the coming year with Madame Alexander, to help guide and update the direction of a few of their doll lines, including Cissy.” Does this mean that Cissy will get a waist, thin legs and turquoise eye shadow? Noooooooooo. Will we get a Mini Cissy

I’m going to reward myself for quitting Farmville by posting some of my own pictures in place of the usual Picture of the Week Award. The truth is that I didn’t spend much time on the doll boards this week and I don’t have a nominee.

It was a cold snowy day on February 14, 2006 when we left Woodstock in the late afternoon headed for Manhattan and FAO Schwarz where the first W Club event was to be held. We actually made very good time into the city and had plenty of time to eat and traipse around on Fifth Avenue.

Black Lace arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to rip open the shipper to see if this one was as wonderful as the first two. I was not disappointed. Of course I don’t see how this one should be the same price as the others because she doesn’t really have an outfit…but…the lingerie she is wearing is very nicely made

Blue Caprice is as close to perfect as any Integrity doll I’ve ever purchased. In these pictures she is standing without support. I snipped a few stray hairs and threads and that’s it.

Twice a year, Osvaldo Vasquez, aka Ovaz, debuts a new line of breathtaking gowns for 1/6 scale dolls. His creations are, for the most part, not for the faint-of-heart.
This was an old shudder door which I removed the inside from and added a ¼ inch plywood. The textured background was painted in acrylics with various colors and designs.

After writing my last post about the American Girl doll Rebecca, and the Chanukah and Sabbath accessories that can be purchased for her, I did a search for Jewish Dolls on Google. But before going there I want to share somthing I’ve wondered about on and off for the last few weeks. The Fashion Royalty doll called Night Warrior comes with a cross on a chain.

Are There Any Jewish Dolls?
American Girl is just about the only company I have discovered to date that acknowledges the existence of holidays other than Christmas. I applaud them for being inclusive when it comes to different ethnicities and beliefs in the creation of their dolls and background stories. Their dolls are widely available and are not charicatures of children of various ethnic backgrounds, they are just children who happen to be different from eachother

I’ve seen the name La Pierle many times connected with beautiful and trendy doll fashions. What I didn’t know was that this same person is an accomplished photographer and Photoshop user. Her real name is Valerie Humbert-Deshayes and she is a free-lance textile designer
There are many who will spend $150 for a non-articulated doll dressed in a black catsuit with painted black hands and four pair of shoes. They are probably the very same people who bought my Platinum Cher doll for $500.

Since receiving Marcella from FDA recently, I have become a fan of these dolls. I bought three separate outfits and a few days ago I ordered the Haute Doll Kaori which was the premier doll put out by Fashion Doll Agency about two years ago. The price was $149.99 and for a dressed FDA doll, that is very good.

The biggest news is, of course, Kirsten’s retirement! She is such a cute doll but I don’t think she’s received the attention she deserves (unless you happen to be Swedish – then you probably know her well!) Above is our Kirsten dressed in our Scandanavian Winter outfit that we think is perfect for her.
