Fashion Royalty Convention Day two continued….

It was a packed day and it started early.  Chicago at dawn.

I wanted to get down to the sales room to pick up the IT direct exclusives that I had tickets for.  The process to pick up everything was incredibly organized and well run.  I had my bag of goodies in no time and was off to my next event.

Next stop was Design a Doll Studio.  There were 8 different dolls you could choose, four outfits and four jewelry packs.  The selection was amazing and there were additional jewelry and clothing packs for purchase.  You could choose to have your dolls eyes enhanced by the amazing Jon Copeland .  His work simply blows me away.  I am in absolute awe of the repaint work that he does.

Once you dressed your doll, you could pose them in one of two fantastic dioramas done by Jakki Peters

Soooo much fun!

After playing with the Dynamite Girls, I headed to the Poppy Luncheon.  The centerpiece doll was a stunner.

I was not eligible to win another centerpiece since I had already won one ( Kyori, yeah!) but I was really excited for whoever was going to win this beauty.  That honor went to a dear tablemate…lucky dog.  At the luncheon, David Buttry gave us some information on the direction his Poppy designs are taking in the future.   Poppy will be moving into the 60’s and the Mod era.  We were also given a small preview of “Chip” Poppy’s boyfriend.  Mr. Buttry announced he should be arriving next year.  I am not sure how a new Mod era Poppy is going to fit into my collection but David assured the crowd that he will still be doing some more classic 50’s era styling along with the Mod era.  I was happy to hear that.

At the end of the luncheon, we were gifted with a Poppy Parker doll.  She is absolutely adorable!

I spent the rest of the afternoon in a rerooting workshop and photographing the competition room and museum ( pictures tomorrow).  The evening dinner was The Color Infusion Groovy Pucci Fashion Party.  The centerpiece doll was called “ Psychedelic Splash” and was a Color Infusion doll.

We learned that there will be three new Monogram dolls ( yipeeee!) for the holidays.  They are gown dolls and they shared photos.

These lovely ladies are gorgeous!  I contacted my dealer immediately.  It was extremely convenient that she was sitting at the table with me LOL!

We were also given a lovely Color Infusion doll called “Sunset Rave”

It was another incredible day for me at my first Fashion Royalty convention.  Here is a photo of todays accumulation.  I can’t get over the amount of stuff we are getting as gifts and new products were are able to purchase.  I believe a trip to the UPS shipping room is in my future.
