Imogen–Fame by Frame
Or…Frame by Frame as I called her initially and had to be corrected. Frame by Frame would have been the perfect title for this post as I decided to do some redressing and additional photo shoots for the 2012 Fashion Royalty Convention doll Imogen. I have to completely own up and say when I opened the box at the last nights convention dinner, I was underwhelmed. The outfits were very modern ( not my general thing) and two out of the three outfits were coral red. It was all a little one note for me. I would have preferred a gown or even a swimsuit but not two dresses in the same color. The doll just wasn’t doing anything for me in the box. When I flew back home from convention a few weeks ago, this lady was firmly on my “to sell” pile. Then, I started seeing photos on flickr that had me rethinking ( yes Shuga…I mean you!). I decided to debox and play. I found that my first impression was…WRONG. I am adoring this one and have endeavored to glam her up a bit for my shots.
Model: Fame by Frame Imogen
Jacket and gold top: Barbie Basics
Purse: FR Monogram
Jewelry: Fashion Royalty and Dynamite Girl
Shorts and Shoes: In the Trenches NuFace outfit
Okay..so who here bought this outfit below and could never find a doll that looked good in it?? {{Rebecca raises her hand emphatically}}. I adore this outfit but could never find anyone who looked good in it…until now. Apparently the trick is to find a model with a tan!!
Model: Fame By Frame Imogen
Outfit and shoes: “In the Trenches” NuFace outfit
And because I had to find the right evening look for this lady….I finally found someone who could wear the “Anemone” Christian Louboutin gown. The oompaloompa doll it came on had to go. Sorry folks. I don’t mean to be disrespectful and if you have that doll and adore her…my apologies…but..to me she just looked like a bad spray tanning accident. Ms. Imogen however, looked fabulous in it!!

Wowza! She looks amazing in that gown! And of course in the other outfits but with her hair back and the gown on she’s hit another level!

She looks hot in the BB gold sequence top and black jacket, but oh my how gorgeous she is in that gown!! Those colors do look wonderful on her and your hair restyling with her hair pulled back and the one strand falling down is perfection. Love, love!!

Hey Lisa! Glad you liked the photos 🙂 I was so suprised at how good that gown looked on her too. I didn’t think anyone would be able to wear it…happy to be wrong. Once the gown went on, the hairstyle just kind of seemed appropriate. Thank you for the lovely comment.
