Today at the salesroom from the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention the new Barbie Fan Club “Barbie Signature” had a table with some Barbie sneaks.

One of the items they showed is the gift you get when you join the new club and become a Platinum member.

It’s an accessories pack with 10 pair off Barbie shoes.

And 3 new dolls by Mattel Designer Carlyle Nuera were on display.

The first doll is Blush Pink Fringe Gown Barbie. She is a platinum edition and a Fan Club exclusive.

She is inspired by Givenchy Couture.

Another new doll on display was the third doll in the Harlem Theater Collection called Selma DuPar James.

And since today she is also available on new Barbie.Mattel.com website.

The bold Harlem Theatre™ Collection represents the courageous women of an era who paved the way for future generations to freely and creatively express themselves. During the Harlem Renaissance era, patrons of the arts like Madam Lavinia™ would often commission artists to showcase their latest work. Up-and-coming artist Selma DuPar James™, was selected to hold her first solo exhibition in the Harlem Theatre salon. Her piece is a beautiful portrait of jazz singer Claudette. The third doll in the Harlem Theatre™ Collection, Selma DuPar James™ Barbie® doll is powerfully creative and powerfully stylish.

And the third new Barbie doll on display is the Sorcha Barbie. She is the 5th doll in the Global Gllamour Series. An Irish inspired beauty.

Another event at the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention on Tuesday was the Collective Couture Event. At this event you could see and shop for amazing ooak dolls and fashions byRob Thompson of Robsdolls, Judy Rennick O’Connell of Aponi Designs, Patita Taylor of Taylor Made, and Pam Seeman of Paintbox Designs.

Mattel Designer Carlyle Nuera released pictures from the oak doll he made for the Life Auction in Houston. Her name is galaxy Barbie and wow she is quite spectacular.

She wears a gown with a galaxy print and the stars light up !!! And I lover her silver glow.

I am sure she will raise a lot off money for charity.

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 😉

At the moment Rebecca and Hilda are having their Inside the Fashion Doll Studio.com & Bellisima Couture party. But later more about this event.

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.
