Imogene Gets a Boater Ensemble
It was no surprise that when Integrity Toys released their Funny Face line of dolls, I was all over them. My particular favorite was “Think Pink!”. I also have a particular fondness for suits so it was time to put these two favorites together for a photo shoot. Also, as Imogene dons her “boater ensemble” and takes some time to perhaps jet off to some glamorous destination, Inside The Fashion Doll Studio will be posting a little less for a bit as this blogger/photographer takes some time to do a few other things. Doll posts should continue every Friday but don’t expect much more than that. 
Model: Funny Face “Think Pink!” Imogene
Suit, hat and shoes: Boater Ensemble Barbie® Doll
Christmas in July Take 4
Is anyone else feeling Jem and The Holograms fatigue? I know I am. That being said, for those who love this show and the resulting products inspired by it, Integrity Toys and their collaboration with Hasbro gives another infusion with…The Stingers.

Suggested Retail Price: $119.00

As Jem and the Holograms go…and I am not a collector of this line…I would have to say this bunch is the most interesting to me. Even though I have no plans to purchase, I can at least appreciate the detail that Integrity went to to reproduce these characters.
If you are interested in purchasing these, contact an Integrity Toys Dealer.
Christmas in July Take 3
The highlight in my opinion of Integrity’s mini collection releases yesterday was the Victoire Roux offering. As luck would have it…it’s another Lottery. I am not feeling super confident about this one as there are only 600 and it will be an IT Directly lottery open to all not just WClub members. That’s right folks, you don’t have to be a WClub member to enter the lottery for this. You will have from today until July 29th at Noon EDT to enter this lottery. Winners will be selected at random, notified by the W Club Liaisons and then have until August 5th, 2013 at 5:00 PM EDT to pay. You can find more information about this lottery on Integrity Toy’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Integrity-Toys/200208326656019 . The link to get one of the lottery tickets is

I am in LOVE! From the top of her cream colored hat to the tips of this Dior “new look” inspired outfit, I am in LOVE! According to Integrity Toys, the umbrella is not functional…who cares! It’s adorable workable or not. This offering exemplifies everything that I love to collect so I am extremely hopeful that I will win the right to purchase. If not, I will be begging…oh yes, I will be begging and avidly searching the secondary market for a chance to purchase.

Christmas In July Take 1
Integrity Toys announced 4 new mini collections to it’s WClub members on Thursday and titled it “Christmas in July”. A word to the wise…when you talk up an event and label it “Christmas”, you better be sure to deliver. I’m not sure Integrity Toys hit their mark on that one. I know I was expecting something in the Nu.Face lineup and possibly something from the Homme line as well. Integrity offered nothing from either line and that has left many die hard Fashion Royalty fans feeling like they got up Christmas morning with high expectations only to receive Ralphie’s infamous pink bunny suit from “A Christmas Story”. Not a good thing.
For collectors who love 16 inch Poppy, Poppy Parker , Jem and the Holograms and Victoire Roux, this was worth the time you took off work to incessantly check and recheck your emails.
First up was a new set of lovelies from the 16 inch Poppy Parker Fashion Teen line. Per Alain Tremblay of Integrity Toys, each doll in this mini collection was inspired by a season.
First up is Spring:

I don’t collect the larger scale dolls simply because I barely have enough room for the 1/6 scale ladies as it is but I am sorely tempted by these fabulous 16 inch Poppys. Also, confirmed by Alain, Tulabelle’s and Poppy’s clothing is interchangeable. In other words, they can wear each others clothing so lots and mix and match options for this larger scale offerings from Integrity.
If you are interested in purchasing any one of these beautiful ladies, go to an Integrity Toys Dealer.
Bye Bye FR:Monograms
Integrity Toys announced this past week in a post they called “An exciting evolution!” that they would be discontinuing their FR:Monogram line in a move to help focus and unify the other lines. Per the email from Integrity, the final Monograms will make an appearance at convention and then will forever “Requiescat in pace” R.I.P. The FR: FR2 line will be merged with the FR classic line and a new updated FR/FR2 body will be introduced and used for all future Fashion Royalty offerings. Nu.Face and FR: Homme will get an update in 2014. Exciting news for sure.
My guess is that the classic styling that was the bread and butter of the Monogram line will now be serviced by their Victoire product. Not surprising. Many in the collecting community were expecting this but it still makes me sad. The Monograms were a particular favorite of mine and some of my personal favorite photos were produced with this line. That being the case, I thought I would do a little retrospective with this fabulous line. I am happy to have these dolls in my collection and don’t plan on selling them. It is also interesting to see how my photography has changed over the past couple of years 
AA Ball Gown Silkstone-First Look
Okay Mattel…I get it…you want to save the first look of this beauty for the Barbie Convention goers. But, if you are going to do this, why ship the dolls off to Asia for retail BEFORE convention??!! I’m left scratching my head and asking myself, “ And I spent how much on a BFC membership so I could get the first look at product?” {grumble, grumble, grumble}. I am assuming that the lucky dogs going to convention in New Orleans will get to see this fabulous lady up close and personal. I am assuming she will be displayed in the sales room just like Gala Gown was last year. Make sure you take some stellar photos attendees. Just a reminder, I won’t be at convention this year but will point people to some Flickr accounts that will be covering the festivities as we get closer to the event.
Here is the first look!

It looks like someone has pirated the video shown at the Italian Doll Convention and added their own music. You can find it by searching for “Barbie Fashion Model Collection” but I wont post the link here because it’s not authorized through Mattel and frankly…its PIRATED so not my thing.
Can’t wait for this beauty to join my collection!
IFDC 2013–Horror High Vegas!!!
The International Fashion Doll Convention was held this weekend in Las Vegas. The theme was Horror High Vegas and the exclusive dolls that were offered and given at the convention did not disappoint attendees.
As has become standard with Integrity Toys and its relationship with IFDC, all of the dolls come from the Integrity Toys NU Fantasy line. This is a realm where fantasy, drama and high couture fashion mix for an interesting and edgy look and feel.

A Sweet and Swiss Grand Entrance
I had yet another blue gown I had to put Sweet in Switzerland in before I was done.
Model: Sweet in Switzerland Poppy Parker
Gown: Grand Entrance™ Barbie® Doll
And since I am having fun playing with a new set of filters in Adobe Lightroom 
And what one of these shots would look like as a gothic romance novel cover {Snort!} Yes, I DO need a self help program for those who have become obsessed with their Photoshop brushes.

Since I mentioned “Alice Blue” and how it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, I had to do a shoot inspired by Mr. Carroll’s classic work of fiction.

Joyful to Love the One
Continuing on the Poppy Parker redressing theme, I decided to combine two new additions to the doll room today. I deboxed the fabulous Joyful in Japan Poppy Parker that arrived last week and dressed her in the WClub exclusive “Love The One” Kyori outfit. The pink of the little caplet matched her eye makeup and lip color. I finished the outfit with a Bogue’s Vogue hat that incorporated all of the colors already going on in the scene.
Model: Joyful in Japan Poppy Parker
Dress and shoes: WClub exclusive Love the One Kyori
Hat: Bogues Vogues
It looks like Integrity got some inspiration on this outfit…
