Lavender Luxury
Easter weekend is upon us and everything is coming to life in the garden again. The trees are all blooming pink and white, the daffodils are up and the lilacs are on the way. Life is good. With this symphony of pastels booming in the yard, I had to do something in the studio to celebrate it. I had the perfect model in mind too. Recently, I sent the lavender haired Mood Changer Poppy Parker head over to Jon Copeland-Childers for a “spa” treatment and what he sent back to me had my jaw dropping.
Model: Integrity Toys WClub exclusive Mood Changer Poppy Parker repainted and restyled by Jon Copeland-Childers of SeloJSpa. Poppy has been re-bodied on FR2 body.
Suit, shoes and earrings: Integrity Toys Breathless Veronique
Fascinator hat: made by me with a scrapbook flower and a bit of birdcage veil
Fur: IT Le Smoking Adele
Luggage: Poppy Parker as Sabrina Most Sophisticated ( trim color has been altered via Photoshop)
Pin on suit: rhinestone fleur de lis purchased at Facets by Marcia
Here is what she looked like originally
There are spa treatments and then there are Jon treatments. I stand by the Jon treatment.
**Note** Before I get a gazillion questions, I have to declare here that the luggage I used is not OOAK. It is the set from the Poppy Parker Sabrina series but I have photo shopped the trim to lavender.
This suit is a favorite of mine. It is from the IT 2013 Premier Convention Collection. I was searching through some Edith Head sketches a couple months back and stumbled across what might have been the inspiration for this one.

You’ve Got a Friend
I have a friend who is going through a hard time right now. I always say that one of if not the most amazing things about the collecting community is its strength and ability to support its members. This friend is a doll collector and in the midst of the gauntlet she is walking right now, she still thought of others and helped out a few collector friends this week. Her grace and strength humbles me. My friend…this one is for you.

Integrity Toys “The Premiere” Convention Day 1 Part II
The Convention Collection
This year, Integrity tried out something different for the sales room. They gave you a number based on when you signed up for convention. Those who signed up early, received a lower number and this allowed you to get into the sales room at specific times. It was done to cut down on the HUGE wait line that conventioneers had experienced in years past. Groups of about 50 were allowed in at a time depending on your registration number. It worked like a dream. I have to say it was the most pleasant shopping experience I have at in IT’s convention sales room. You had room to browse, take pictures and buy. Fabulous job Integrity Toys!

The Convention Collection was showcased in the center of the room.

October Issue
Agnes Von Weiss™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
Soooo sophisticated and haughty. Isn’t this Agnes’ general state of being? When I first saw her displayed in the sales room, she had the sunglasses on and I could not see her face so I was not impressed…
Then the glasses came off and I was a goner.
Paparazzi Darling
Adèle Makéda™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
Loved, loved the pink top on this one. This was also a much softer look for Ms. Adele.
Bittersweet
Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
This was a redhead in a green dress….a no brainer for me. Ka-ching!
Breathless
Véronique Perrin™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
Oh My Word!! I love suits and I absolutely adored this one. Put an exotic looking Veronique with a hat in it and it’s a winner in my book.
Brazen Beauty
Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
Subtle, golden and elegant.
Bewitching
Véronique Perrin™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
In my opinion, this lady embodied the theme of the convention collection the most. She is pure Hollywood premiere glamour. Adore her.
Star in the Making
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Collection Exclusive
{Thud!} Someone help Rebecca up off the floor again. I don’t think I could get my ticket out of my wallet fast enough to purchase this beauty. If you wanted a glamorous Poppy, this one will do it.
There were also a few Integrity Toys Direct products unveiled that were exclusive to the convention. Each conventioneer was given coupons to purchase 3 or 4 items from the line. The choices were:
A Fashion Royalty Shoe Pack
Tricks Up Her Sleeve Poppy Parker
ITBE In Sequins Anja
ITBE In Sequins Lilith
Fashion Creature Tulabelle
Let’s just say a few of these ladies came out of the sales room with me. 
More photos are available on my Flickr feed. Feel free to have a look.
Part III of Day 1 coming up shortly…..
