Golden Galaxy
Yesterday night it was time for the finale Gala Diner at the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Houston. All tables were decorated with a gorgeous centerpiece doll made by Magia2000
At the end of the evening it was time for the convention doll designed by Bill Greening.
Her name is Golden Galaxy:
From a golden galaxy far away, Barbie appears, a futuristic vision in head-to-toe gold. A sleek metallic bodysuit wraps around her, reflecting light,while an edgy armored bodice and golden cape add drama. Glittered ankle boots and faux leather gauntlets heighten her cosmic look, as fierce spiked earrings and a glistening ponytail add even more shimmer. She is simply out of this world.
There is an AA ans CC version both are platinum editions and the edition size from the AA is no more then 330.
Next year convention will be held in Phoenix en the theme is On The Avenue With Barbie.

Magia2000
O wow it felt like Christmas morning when Rebecca send me her pictures from yesterdays Magia2000 Ooak party. What an amazing gift to see so much beauty and details in this collection.
The space theme from this years convention would not be my theme. But wow, now I see how Fashionable Barbie can be in Space. What I always love about Magia2000 is that their collection has a theme. And especially this year the inspiration is so diverse inside the theme. But it all comes beautiful together in one collection. From modern Couture inspiration by Ralph & Russo and Chanel, vintage Balenciaga, Lady gaga, and vintage Star Wars and Star Trek Icons.
So sit back am enjoy this amazing collection.

Thomas Soderberg and Matthew Sutton
Later today I will come back with some amazing pictures Rebecca took at last night Designers Parties. But for now I have some amazing online sneaks.
First the Ooak dolls that the designer Thomas Soderberg brought with him to Houston.
I always love his work. The quality off his tailoring is amazing. And I love how he repaint his ladies.
I think the lady in the purple dress with the striped bow is my favorite.
And this morning (European time) Matthew Sutton posted his donation for the life auction.
Her name is The Moon’s Pale Kiss. And I am in love with her.
And if you know me I don’t think I have to explain why 😉

Here a little update of some designer sneaks released on Facebook.
the last weeks NiniMomo was posting sneaks from dolls they created for this convention on Facebook. And there are so many amazing dolls in this collection.
And just a few minutes ago they posted some pictures from their room. To give us a little sneak what to expect in a few hours when they open the doors for the collectors.
I love this Arabian duo with the camel.
And how cool are these aliens !!!
They look to be inspired by the work of the Spanish Designer Manuel Albarrán.
And my absolute favorite is this Queen.
The detail on this dress is amazing !!! inspired by the famous moon caped gown from the 2016 Fall Winter Alexander McQueen dress that Nicole Kidman wore at the 2016 Met Gala.
