They say “coming soon” and “discover other partnerships in spring of 2016”…hope they mean that!  Would love to get my hands on these silkies this Spring.

After lunch it was time for a fashion show and doll presentation.  Had to share this one from the show…. Cinderella and her prince!  How adorable is that?!!

It’s the flaming redhead for Paris.  J’adore!!!!  I know a number of us collectors were hoping that this hair color was going to be produced after seeing the photo earlier this year in a Wall Street Journal article

A nice touch they have added this year to the convention dolls are boxes that specify these are platinum dolls.

The event is a favorite and the energy, excitement  and anticipation were all there again this year.  The reveal of the doll at this annual event is a big production.  This year did not disappoint.  Think spring…think floral.
