Your Kind of Model Kesenia..On Approach

Limited edition of 400. I am normally not a big fan of the open mouth face mold but there was something about the platinum hair and the little black fur jacket that spoke to me. Hope her promo shots are close the the actual doll. I have to give Integrity a big high five on their accessories this year. They are phenomenal!! Now…if we could just get the delivery date a little closer to when they announce these beauties…life would be almost perfect.

As it has been a while since this doll was announced….here is a recap of her promo shots.

The Lady in Red: Part One

Photography, in my opinion, is just like any other art form. Some days you can be inspired and others….nothin’. When it comes to photographing my collection, this happens to me all the time. Sometimes, I will be inspired by something that can fuel ideas for sets of shoots that will keep me in blogging material for a couple of weeks. I love it when that happens! I was inspired recently by one prop and a treasure trove of Jakki Peters hats that I picked up at the recent Fashion Royalty Convention. The material that came out of those shoots has become some of my favorite shots for the entire year. Hope you enjoy this series which I call….The Lady in Red.

Model: Fashion Royalty “Fascination” Monogram

Hat: Jakki Peters ( gift from a table mate at FR convention)

Doll Shoe Fun!

I am primarily a 1/6 scale doll collector but I recently ran across something for the 1/4 scale collectors that I wanted to share. I was perusing some of my favorite flickr threads the other day and ran across a photo posted by summer-sun that had me clicking on additional links.

Fabrizio Viti is the style director for Louis Vuitton shoes. Apparently, his own fashion doll collection has been a big inspiration for his designs. The story begins here

and continues here

They also have the coolest stop motion video and I have to say…I was mesmerized.

Thank you for sharing this summer-sun!! To see more of summer-sun’s fantastic flickr photostream,go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/67388117@N02/with/8124069272/#photo_8124069272

Bogue’s Vogues Vendredi…In Celebration of Fall

It has been a while since I did a Bogue’s Vogues Vendredi so I thought I would pull this one out. I keep some photos that I take in reserve for special projects. I took this photo a while ago and it was included in the Inside the Fashion Doll Studio Daily Planner for 2013 that I sold at Barbie Convention this year. Since we are enjoying the fabulous days and colors of the Autumn season, I thought I would share this fall inspired set of photos. Hope you enjoy!

HP Eugenia…More Redressing Fun

My camera and I don’t seem to be able to get enough of this lady in red so I have a few more shots to share from a day of redressing fun. My favorite set out of the three redresses is directly below. I love Hilda’s dress and the fact that Ms. Eugenia is waiting to enjoy a glass of wine and perhaps a picnic as if to celebrate the autumn season. Fall or Autumn ( however you call it) is one of my absolute favorite seasons…it means the holidays are right around the corner. I love the smell of leaves, the vibrant colors of the season and those crisp foggy mornings where shafts of sun ( if we see it at all in the Pacific Northwest) fight their way through the foggy curtain. It’s a dreamy sort of light and feel and I just adore it. Hope you enjoy the photos.

I Got The Blues for my Party Dress

I adored the dress that she came in originally so it was difficult for me to take it off of her…but I managed…for none other than a Bogue’s Vogues.

High Profile Eugenia…The Redress

Given that I saw old Hollywood when I saw this lady for the first time, it can come as no surprise that I went for glamour when it came to redressing her. When it came to a brunette with cherry red lips…there was only one color I wanted to go with…RED.

High Profile Eugenia

I was not one of the lucky few who was picked to purchase this lovely lady. I was, however, one of the lucky few blessed with knowing someone who wanted to sell theirs. You know who you are and I love ya! This lady just screams old Hollywood glamour…I see Eva Gardner, Jane Russel or even Sophia Loren

Jordan and Dania….On Approach for Landing

…at Inside the Fashion Doll Studio. I received notice from my most excellent dealer Barb that these two ladies are on their way to me. Since it has been some time since these were announced…{cough) ummm April…{cough}, I thought I would recap the particulars about these newest releases. It seems like these dolls are coming out really, really late this year. The bulk of the Integrity Toys 2012 lineup is still yet to come and I am afraid there will be an avalanche here in the next couple of months. I better get my skis ready to ride it down.

“Always on her Mind” Dania Zarr

Edition Size: 450

When was she supposed to be delivered?? Early July {{Rebecca looks at her watch then looks at the screen and raises an eyebrow sarcastically}}

“Trust your Instincts” Jordan

Edition Size: 450

When was she supposed to be delivered?? Early July…How do I feel about it??

It looks like the influence for these two lovelies is the captain of Integrity’s design team Jason Wu. This is from his 2012 Spring RTW show.

As with the convention dolls, the accessories look to be fantastic! Looking forward to some deboxing time.

P.S…I Love You, Barbie® and Ken® OOAK Auction

Charitybuzz and Mattel are teaming up again for a OOAK auction. This time, it will benefit the LGBT Community Center of the Desert. Here is the write-up taken directly from the Charitybuzz website. http://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/325204

“Mattel Principal Designer, Jim Holmes, collaborated with Photographer Steven Henke, to create this stunning one-of-a-kind duo Barbie® and Ken® dolls for the Barbie Does Palm Springs Charity Event.
The ultimate Palm Springs girl, PS… I Love You, Barbie® is in a 60’s inspired strapless patio-pant lounger with a citron animal-print caftan. The neck of the caftan and hem of the patio pants are encrusted with gems and jewels.

Ken®, the ultimate poolboy, is dressed in matching hipster stovepipe pants, cropped white knit top, citron flip flips, pork pie hat and sunglasses. And, to show his devotion, Ken sports a tattoo of "Barbie" on his arm.

And no Palm Springs pool party would be complete without a few festive drinks. Pool lounge furniture, a mid-century screen, and pool towels with Barbie and Ken embroidered on them, complete the flagstone set.”
