Elise Jolie Styled in the Roaring 20’s
I was so looking forward to the Hope Diamond Barbie. I loved the promo pictures of the red haired siren with the gorgeous 20’s inspired gown and jewelry. I received her a couple of weeks ago and must say..I was underwhelmed. I adore the gown and jewelry. The doll…Meh. I guess the biggest disappointment was her hair. It was nothing like the promo’s . In reality..it was a big hot mess. I am fairly confident with fixing doll hair. This…was beyond my expertise. I am hoping that it was just my doll who had bad hair and that others received dolls with better hair. Pictures from toy fair showed this lady with promo prefect hair. I did not receive one of those. So, time to make some lemonade out of this lemon. I chose to repurpose the gown and jewelry right away. The gown was a tight fit on an FR2 body but I managed to make it work….just barely.
Model: FR2 “Dark Swan” Elise Jolie
Gown and jewelry: Hope Diamond Barbie
Set: My white shelves set at an angle. Statues I found at a small shop in Snohomish ( my favorite place to find props!). Background is a graduated black to white background and I added a black acrylic floor. I use this floor a lot because I adore the dramatic reflection it gives. There is a blue spot on the black background. It is a small portable LED light that produced a white/blue light so it has colored the black background blue.
Here Comes The Bride….Poppy Parker–Part 1
About this time of year I seem to always have a letch to do a wedding photo shoot. Last year it was Dark Swan Elise who became my muse.
This year Sweet Confection Poppy Parker continues to be my inspiration.
Model: Sweet Confection Poppy Parker
Gown and Veil: Grace Kelly Silkstone Bride Barbie
Bouquet: Marie Therese Silkstone Bride Barbie
Set: Cake Candelabra repainted in silver. Both have been set upon candlesticks of varying heights. Greenery found at local craft store with miniature paper roses added.
For the Vintage Barbie Collector…Let’s Play Barbie
I am not a vintage Barbie collector but I certainly admire those who are. You will not meet a more Barbie knowledgeable group than vintage Barbie collectors. Mattel announced at Barbiecon that they would be releasing a Barbie reproduction set that would give you a choice of three different hair colors of a vintage reproduction Barbie and you would get 4 vintage reproduction outfits with it. This set was a huge crowd favorite at the Mattel preview at convention and now it is finally available to order. This set was designed by the very talented and fellow collector..Mattel’s Bill Greening. The set retails for….ready for it….$175.00. I guess you have to look at the fact you are getting 4 outfits and the doll in vintage reproduced packaging. This price may put it out of many collectors price range but it sure does look like a fabulous set and a must have for any vintage reproduction collector. I am considering this set.

Ayumi Arrives
This lovely lady was an Integrity Toys IDEX and WClub lottery exclusive and thanks to one of the best doll buddies a girl can have, I was able to purchase one. Her face is porcelain delicate and the hairdo is unbelievably intricate. There are a number of peach ribbons running through the braided chignon. Beautiful! Her gown is pure Jason Wu. Yummy!

The Royal Couple
Okay…raise your hand if you got up super early in the morning to watch the royal wedding last year. I know I did…or rather I set the television to record it. I think it is fair to say most everyone loves a good wedding. When you add in “Royal”, it adds a whole other dimension to the mix. There was the wild speculation about the gown. There were the royals. And…there were the hats. It was only a matter of time before they were made into the perfect Barbie and Ken right? I had no idea this was coming but should have given the popularity of the royal wedding. It is my understanding that this is a new face mold for Ken and It looks like a good resemblance to the real Prince William. The Duchess Kate doll is lovely but looks to be more of a “ Barbie as…” representation. The set is said to retail for $100 and is set to be released around their one year anniversary in April. Awwwww! How romantic.

New Silkstone Sneak Peek…and a little more
Mattel released photos of a new 2012 BFMC Evening Gown Silkstone that will be available later this year. She is a beautiful AA in a gorgeous pink and white confection of a gown.
***Photos are property of Mattel, Inc. ***
And….. I have heard from multiple sources that this is a sketch of another Silkstone coming in the fall of this year.
It’s a redhead in yellow gown with grey accents and grey gloves!!! I believe this is indeed the doll that was sneaked in the picture with the drafting table that I blogged about in January( https://insidethefashiondollstudio.com/2012/01/20/an-inside-look-at-robert-bests-2012-bfmc-world/ ). AHHHHHH! I am in complete and total love. Putting my preorder in for these lovelies as I type this.
Possible inspiration for this gown??? –Dior Spring 2011 Couture.

Hit Single Darla Daley gets a redress.
In a recent post about up and coming 2012 dolls Debbiefs in Australia pointed out that we were not sharing enough love of Darla Daley. She is right so …. Debbiefs….this one’s for you.
The original face sculpt of this lady was …okay.
At the Fashion Royalty convention we learned that the face mold had been redone and I am happy to say…I LOVE the new and improved Darla.

W Club Giselle Exclusive!
Wow! Integrity Toys is really pulling out all the stops this year. I have been a W Club member for the last four years and have never seen so many amazing things coming from Integrity this early in the year. We received a plethora of information on new dolls from IDEX a few short weeks ago and now the W Club members have the chance to win the opportunity to buy a limited exclusive raven haired Giselle. She has a hat…so that means I want her LOL! To be honest…I know there are a few devoted Giselle face mold collectors out there and I really hope you guys get her first…that is only fair. If this lady were a Poppy, FR2 or a Monogram…I know you all would wish the same for me.
This is being called a “European Exclusive” and is going through LaureBelle Couture(http://www.laurebellecouture.com/)…. but don’t try to contact them to get this exclusive…it’s lottery only…through the W Club. Not quite sure why it is being touted as a “European Exclusive” . To me this looks just like a W Club lottery . The doll is beautiful and she comes with a variety of shoes and accessories. This gets her labeled as a “Giftset”.

BFC Registration Clarification
Good Morning fashion doll fans. This is a morning that many Barbie collectors have waited for. Registration for the Barbie Fan Club (BFC) 2012 begins today at 9:00AM PST. There is an important piece if information that I neglected to share with my first post about this a few weeks back.

It’s a no brainer for me.

Dania Zarr..a Real Star!
I have to admit, it took me a while to warm up to this face mold. The very cut angles of her face can give her a masculine feel in my opinion but the latest iteration Integrity Toys did of her is..in a word…STUNNING. Thanks to a really great doll friend, I was able to get a ticket to purchase Bare Essentials “Day” Dania Zarr at the Fashion Royalty Convention this past year. I love her face, hair and new body ( a vampire doll body I believe…not as busty as the Fashion Royalty line). She is a dream to restyle and I had to pull out the macro lens for this beauty as her face really is something else. Added to this beautiful doll, I was able to procure a white Joe Tai gown off of ebay. I am also excited about finally purchasing a De-Zyns by Joy jewelry set ( after drooling over her things for quite a while…finally broke down and bought). Oh..and the chairs!! LOVE them. Found them on ebay..see my source list for the link.
Models: Bare Essentials “ Day” Dania Zarr and 007 James Bond Ken
Gown: Joe Tai
Jewelry: De-Zyns by Joy ( http://de-zynsbyjoy.com/ )
Set: Wall panel by me. Flooring is miniature flooring paper. Candelabra…now that is a story…pewter candlestick with a new find. It’s called a cake candelabra. I need to spray paint it silver but I was so excited to use the thing I just threw it in there ‘as is’ LOL! I think the scale works well here. They are approx. $8.99 on various sites. Chairs are from Ebay ( http://stores.ebay.com/The-DIY-Dollhouse-Center?_rdc=1). They sell a number of different 1:6 scale items. All shipped very fast and well packaged.
LOVE Her face!!

IDEX 2012 Reveal–Poppy is a Big Girl Now.
One of the most surprising reveals from Integrity Toys at IDEX was the announcement of a 16 inch line of Poppy Parkers. They will have the name Poppy Parker Fashion Teen to differentiate them from just plain Poppy Parker who is a 12 inch gal. They are absolutely gorgeous and I really wished that I collected the larger scale ladies. Alas…there is no room in the inn for those ladies and even though I am sorely tempted….I must resist.

I love Poppy Parker. I am not afraid to admit it either. Darla is growing on me and I especially like her new improved face mold.

More to come from IDEX Integrity Toys Reveal……
IDEX Integrity Toys Reveal–Poppy Parker as Sabrina!
Today Integrity Toys revealed a small portion of their 2012 lineup and all I can say is WOWZA!
I guess my biggest squeal moment was the announcement that they will be doing Poppy Parker™ as Sabrina®. This is an iconic fashion movie that put Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy on the fashion map. You will see that Givenchy is never credited in the Sabrina movie as the designer of Ms. Hepburn’s exquisite wardrobe. Edith Head went on to receive the Oscar for this movie even though she did not design the female leads wardrobe. Let’s face it folks…it’s Sabrina’s wardrobe and the gamine eyes of Audrey Hepburn that carry that movie. I have tremendous respect for Ms. Head’s work but I never understood her willingness to accept the award for that movie. Not right. Most accounts state that Monsieur Givenchy was always an extreme gentleman about the whole thing and I guess in the long run…everyone knew those designs were his and not Ms. Heads work so the true credit went to the true owner. He should have received the award though. Monsieur Givenchy went on to work with Ms. Hepburn in Funny Face and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Integrity Toys designer David Buttry did the most amazing job in my opinion of bringing these to the 1/6 scale arena.

So sweet! Love the attention to detail in this giftset. I love the fact that Mr Buttry included the cooking smock with this set. Brilliant!
As a fan of the movie and an avid collector of Poppy Parker, this entire series is an absolute slam dunk for me. Mr Buttry…my happy collector heart is full and my sad collector wallet will be empty….. thanks to you.
If you are interested in any of these lovely ladies, I suggest emailing your Integrity Toys dealer ASAP. These won’t last long. More to come form Integrity Toy’s IDEX reveal in a few hours. 
Empress of Emeralds Elise
Had an idea for a photo shoot when I saw Jon Copeland dress one of his beatiful creations in this gorgeous gown. I think the Royal Jewel Collection by Mattel resulted in some of the most amazing jewelry for fashion dolls. I only have Empress of Emeralds but if this is any indication of the quality of jewels in the other dolls of that series….I think I will be searching for them.
Model: Dark Swan Elise Jolie FR2
Gown and Jewelry: Empress of Emeralds Barbie
Bracelet: Fashion Royalty
And…just because I can’t resist adding more drama to a shot….
An Inside Look at Robert Best’s 2012 BFMC World?
Here are a few interesting photos that might give us all a better feel for the direction of the BFMC this year. They are available at http://ph8442.com/site/2012/01/issue-2/
** Photos are property of Mattel, Inc.**
Here are a few of the shots….
Oh my word!!! If only one could have this set for their own collection. I WOULD DIE! Now….have to figure out how to make my own studio. Audrey…if you are reading this…can you rustle up a few of those french doors for me??!! Are the sketches on the little drafting table a clue to something else coming this year? I swear I see a redhead in a a gold dress. Wish I could see the details better. Are there any clues on that clothing rack? What about the dress the model above is wearing? Let the speculation begin….and she is off and running folks.
Barbie Fan Club 2012 Registration Begins 2/8
We just finished the registration for Integrity Toy’s WClub so now it is Mattel’s turn. The Barbie Fan Club has many perks and another active forum of collectors to participate in but…and you know the drill by now…you have to be a member. One of the lovely things about the BFC is that there is no time limit to sign up. There is , however, a membership limit. Their literature states that they will sell 7500 memberships and that is all. The club doll will also be limited to a specific number and the club doll has sold out the last couple of years. This year, the BFC has a wonderful lineup of club exclusive dolls. The highlight for me is the club doll itself “Afternoon Suit” Barbie. She is a Silkstone and her suit looks to have been inspired by Dior. If you are at all interested in the BFC, I would recommend joining early. My prediction is that this lady will sell out.
** photos are property of Mattel Inc. **
Inspiration? Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009
Other dolls in the works for the club are: “Rush of Gold ” and “Holiday Hostess”
Rush of gold is listed as a platinum doll ( get your valium ready!)
Whoever inspired the club doll, my hat is off to them. LOVE this lady!!! Will I be buying? Yep! As fast as my little keys can hit the keyboard. Not sure about the doll with her pageboy and bangs hairstyle. In my experience, this hairstyle on the Silkies rarely comes out as nice as the promo photos but I will be more than happy to be wrong on this. She has the look of Anna Wintour don’t you think? Mattel will be releasing additional information on 02/01/2012. For information now , feel free to go to the Barbie Collector sight or just click on the picture bellow.
Poppy Photo Shoot 2011/2012 Resort Wear Final Look Hot Pink!
Well…you knew it had to end ( I can hear some of you applauding in the background) For her final look on this photo shoot, Poppy is wearing a new addition from this years Barbie Basic swimsuit line and the color is HOT. No, I did not pump up the saturation levels on these photos. The color of this swimsuit is really that vivid…and happens to be one of my favorites…hot pink.

Poppy Photo Shoot 2011/2012 Resort Wear 4
Are you sick of Poppy yet? Well I’m not so here is more Poppy spam. Today Poppy is showing us a more muted and refined South Beach look. Robert Best designed a number of dolls from 2006-2007 called “On Location” Barbies. The swimsuit in these shots is from “On Location South Beach” Barbie. All the dolls in that series were fabulous and I still have them. They came with a swimsuit, sophisticated evening outfit and a more casual day wear look. What more could you have asked for in a set? Sadly, he only did four and that was it. The set was worth it for the clothing alone but the dolls themselves are gorgeous as well. Here is the link to their photos at the Barbie Collector website:

I am really appreciating these sunny shots today. We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground with more on the way tonight. This is unusual for the Pacific Northwest in the United States. We don’t typically get this much snow so close to the ocean. I’m glad that Poppy is enjoying her time in the sun. 
Style Watch…Golden Globes 2012
I love to watch the award shows for the fashions. I often find myself saying “ What gown would I love to have recreated for my doll collection?”. It definitely sparks some thinking and dreaming in me. I know I personally could never pull off any of these gowns because I am all of 5 foot 1 ( always wished I was taller) and don’t have the body of a super model. I do , however, appreciate that others can wear these fabulous designer creations well. Here are a few of my favorites from this years Golden Globes.
1. Kate Beckensale in Roberto Cavali. She would most likely look good in a burlap sack but here she looks like a princess. Love the upswept hair, the cuff bracelets, the chandelier earrings and how this gown drapes at the bottom. LOVE
2. Jessica Alba in lavender Gucci. Didn’t she just have a baby? It’s just not normal to look this good after just having a baby right? She looks so elegant in this gown. Love the understated jewelry and cute little clutch to match. Love, love, love that soft draping train of the skirt.
3. Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji. I was definitely into the softer looks of pastels last evening. One of the best things about Octavia’s look was the gorgeous hair she had. Soooo lovely.
4. Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang. Va Va Va Voom! Love the color, love the cut, love the fact that she kept her hair down and swept to the side. Love the simple cuffs she wore with it. Gorgeous!
5. Viola Davis in Emilio Pucci. The hair!! Oh my word the hair! LOVE. She looks so elegant but current and hip at the same time. Loved this whole look from head to toe.
To the stylists that put these looks together, I salute you!
There were a few looks that had me scratching my head last night as well…..
1. Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackerman. Tilda honey….we love you and you are incredibly talented. What is with the hairstyle here?? Are we doing a tribute to David Bowie? It’s one heck of a tribute…just doesn’t work with the gown. Love the color and cut of the gown…with the haircut?….not so much.
2. Meryl Streep in vintage Jeager ( yeah…had to look that one up too…didn’t know it). Again, enormously talented lady but I feel like she will be donning a pair of jeans and hitting the rodeo later.
3. Missi Pyle, in Junko Yoshioka. Okay…where to start here… Could it be the color? Yellow is a hard color to pull off by anyone but dirty yellow on a blond??? Near impossible to look good in that color. Now, the dress itself..I think I saw that..wait..I think I wore that to a 1980’s prom. Is there really a chiffon rosette at her waist? Beautiful, Beautiful girl with lovely hair…needed a different dress.
