The “Allure” of Fashion Royalty Monograms
Allure….as a noun it means “ a highly attractive quality”. As a verb it means to “ attract powerfully”.
I have to admit….when I first saw this beautiful lady at the IDEX reveal….I was going to pass. The promo shots just did not do it for me. I felt the Marilyn Monroe vibe but the big cape was not something I was looking for. I decided to go ahead and buy her because I thought I could sell her if I didn’t like her when I got her. I am so glad I purchased her because she is one of those in real life ladies that blew the promo shots out of the water. As I was photographing this lady, I could not believe how well she translates on to film so I was even more surprised that the promo shots did not do this lady justice. She is fire and ice all the way. LOVE HER!
I feel honor bound to state that I was completely enabled and inspired by JennFL’s photos on Flickr of this lovely lady so please check out her photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jennfl/with/6865483260/
Revlon did a campaign in the 1950’s and I and others believe it was the inspiration behind this gorgeous lady and gown.

You are correct … again! 😉 Promos didn’t do her the justice you can and did! Bravo!!!

Beautiful shots of a gorgeous doll, weel done Rebecca. It’s funny because Allure was not among my preorders either but after having seen real pics (among them JennFL’s) I had to get her too!

Merci! I am glad you purchased her. I think you will be very pleased with her. Her outfit is so perfect on her…I am not even tempted to redress her right now.

That McQueen cape is featured in one of my favorite fashion photographs of all time. http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/02/mcqueen-of-hearts
Hope you are well Rebecca, we miss you!

You are exactly right on this Sarah. Thank you so much for sharing the picture. I had heard that the cape was a replica of McQueen but had not seen the photo. Isn’t it scrumptious! I think Integrity Toys did a good job of replicating it in 1/6 scale. Hope you guys are well…looks like a fabulous new beginning for you guys…saw your photos. We miss you guys too and think of you often. Thanks for posting photos!
Hugs,
Rebecca
