Power House Ayumi
I just received the first of three of the 2015 revamped NuFace line that I ordered. All I can say is she is stunning! The facial screening is absolutely beautiful in my opinion.
The shoe strings were too short for me to tie into a bow so I ended up knotting them in the back and tucking the ends into the shoes. Not a bad fix. It will be a pain to untie and redress though. The jewelry is simple but sturdy and appropriate given the very clean chic lines of the outfit. Love the red, red lips and simple and elegant facial screening. The hair was really good when I deboxed but I wanted the bangs to lie closer to the head so I did end up pinning the end of the swoop of her bangs so It would lay closer to the head. Looking forward to redressing this beauty.

It looks like the Nu.Face team is going back to Balmain for inspiration here and can I just say…good call on NOT doing the ruffled pants. Looks like there may be some Alexander MCQueen going on as well with all the skulls.

And…for this 10th anniversary edition, they are pulling out one often longed for luxury of giftsets past…a gorgeous case to put it in. This harkens back to the Haute Luxuries sets of the first years of Fashion Royalty dolls. Classy and so very much appreciated.
So the whole package comes to you like this…
The gown bears a striking resemblance to a couture Dior worn by Charlise Theron at the 2014 Oscars ( one of my picks that year for favorite gown of the Oscars)
source: www.huffingtonpost.com
While the doll loves the party, I am loving the entire giftset!! When I first saw this offering from the WClub, my thought was “Now THAT is a gift set!!!” If they wanted to leave the WClub members happy after a year of fairly large product delivery delays, this will do it. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for this one. I adore that this is a raven haired Elyse ( even though we received another brunette Elyse offering at convention but poor girl suffers from hydrocephalic hairstyle **see previous blog post**so there you have it). I love the makeup and hair and the gown, while still a little too close to black for me, is gorgeous. I am really loving the jewelry in this offering as well.
WClub members have a generous 2 and a half weeks to decide if they want to preorder this beauty. Deadline to order is Tuesday, January 5th, 2016 at Noon Eastern Time (New York Time).
Are WClub members excited about this offering?? Oh, I think so. 
Pre Convention Report Photo Shoot
I am the worst procrastinator…I really am. I have been sitting down to do post convention reports for the past week and somehow…I just get going on another project. I have no idea why I do this because the convention was AWESOME and all the reports will be fun. All I know is that today…when I had every intention of sitting down to do the convention write-up, I decided to do a photo shoot. Hopefully this posting will clear the logjam of post convention information gathering in my head and clear the way for future posts.
I recently took receipt of some amazing OOAK repaints by the amazing artist Jon Copeland (selojspa). I loved the Mood Changer Poppy Parker set we received through the WClub but wanted to see what Jon could do with the brunette and lavender haired heads. What I received blew my mind. Here is Miss brunette mood changer Poppy Parker enhanced by Jon.
Model: Brunette Mood Changer Poppy Parker
Outfit , Shoes and Jewelry: On Set ( gift fashion from 2015 I.T. Cinematic Convention)
Note** Miss Poppy has been upgraded to an FR2 body for these shots.**
Jon…many, many thanks and {hugs}

Still trying to figure out the hair. Are those bangs? Not a deal breaker for me, I am sooooo buying. The look is straight off the catwalk too. The recent Nu.Face capsule collection took inspiration from Balmain and the design team at Integrity went back to the young and talented Olivier Rousteing for this offering. Here is a look from Balmain’s 2016 Resort collection.
The hand bag is Stella McCartney ( thanks to Rogier of Dutch Barbie World for this find!)
If you are a WClub member and interested in purchasing this set, you have until noon EST on Monday, October 19th to put down a deposit. Look for the link in your email.
I have to go dance to Lady Gaga now

Dusk Falls at Integrity Toys
For the past couple of years, Integrity Toys has sponsored a contest during their annual convention. It is a fashion design challenge. The judges for the competition are Jason Wu and his design team from Integrity Toys. The person who wins the competition has their design produced by Integrity Toys and it is offered up for sale in the following years collection. Pretty cool right? This past years convention design competition winner was Julia Leroy a very talented designer and photographer. She holds a masters in design so it is no surprise that she would bring those skills into her collecting. A most excellent design Julia!!! Thank you so much for sharing your designing talent and creativity with the collecting community.

Is it just me or does it look like Vanessa has been out partying until the wee hours of the morning? Maybe it’s the sleepy eyed look. Speaking for this collector, ENOUGH with the black dresses and gowns already!! I love the cut of the gown, just wish it had been in a different color. I know black is chic and oh so Parisienne but it wouldn’t kill us to add a little color to the wardrobe. The jewelry and platinum hair on this one are TO DIE FOR. The look of valium she is sporting…not my thing. Now I realize that if they had pushed up her eyelashes a bit for the photo, she may not look so..well..sleepy. This is actually perfect for the “after” Black Tie Ball look. Still on the fence as to whether I am buying on this one. Deadline for WClub members is Thursday, September 10th at Noon Eastern Time (New York Time).
I have to give credit to Integrity Toys and their responsive team here. Originally they had advertised this beauty as a Vanessa 3.0 face mold and within 24 hours after collectors had questioned this on the WClub Forums…they issued a correction. She is in fact a Vanessa 1.0 face mold. Man oh man is it nice to hear and see that a company is listening to their collector forums and issuing a correction when need be. Sometimes a true and heartfelt “I’m sorry we were wrong” can make all the difference in the world. Live, Learn, Grow.
2015 IFDC Dolls
Wowza, Integrity Toys pulled out the stops for the IFDC dolls this year . They are categorized as Nu.Face Fantasy but to me they should be categorized as Nu.Face Glamour.

Integrity Toys Announces Revamped Nu.Face Collection
On Saturday, Integrity Toys released the first capsule collection from it’s very popular Nu.Face line in roughly two years. We had a little glimpse of the newly revamped line at the 2014 IT convention but that wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy the demand for this one. The new and improved line has Vaughn Sawyer’s love for color and edginess all over it. It appears that he and the team at Integrity went to the couture house of Balmain for inspiration and for the most part, it translated really well. A number of comments from collectors would indicate concern that the young, urban chic vibe was missing from this collection and I would have to agree. This collection while colorful and high fashion was not, in my humble opinion, street fashion. You judge for yourself. The edition sizes reflect the popularity of this line with a whopping 600-800 of each style. Don’t let the large number fool you though, these babies will sell out…if they have not already. To find an Integrity Dealer close to you go here.

Wow!! Once again, the designers went to Balmain for inspiration. This time they used Prefall 2015 collection as a guide.

I would believe this one is most likely already sold out at dealers. Giselle is a very popular face mold and this one is sure to please Giselle collectors. How did they do this top in 1/6 scale?!! Unbelievable.
Agnes of the Jungle
I can’t take credit for this title…that goes to my husband Jon. He was my faithful reflector holder during this photo shoot and we both learned that a full size “human” reflector for these small shoots are super HOT! Had no idea how hot those things can get in full sun…to models all over the world…”I’m truly sorry you have to deal with this on a daily basis” So I re-dressed Ms. Agnes in uptown haute couture last time so I needed to go a different way. I went straight for the animal print and leather moto jacket. **It is important to note here that I had to undo the seam between the legs in the bodysuit top to get it to fit the FR2 body**
I dressed her in this outfit and all I could think of was a leopard laying on a tree branch. Once the vision is there, I was compelled to find myself a tree branch and drape her over it for this shot.
And since she is wearing animal print…had to do a Roberto Cavalli ad LOL!
** Note: No rhododendron bushes were hurt during the filming of this blog post. We may have inadvertently signaled a satellite in space with our reflector and for that we are truly sorry. **
Aristocratic Re-dress
Is it redress or re-dress?? Could not come up with a consensus so I just published anyway. This Agnes is stunning! The re-dressing ( again…not sure if I am using the right spelling) potential is high for this one. She can go casual chic or uptown haute couture very easily. She is very much the Baroness here. I need to get her a little 1/6 Louis Vuitton passport cover .
Aristocratic Agnes
I know I will get hate mail for this but Agnes is not my favorite face mold. When I saw the promo shots for this one, I was on the fence. I loved the dramatic eyebrows, almost platinum blond hair ( not mademoiselle Jolie platinum but close) and red, red lips so I decided to gamble and purchase. Result: gambled and won!!
I love the dramatic eyeliner.
Making a Rare Appearance Dania
WClubbers waited an exorbitant 6 months for this one. Yep, I checked the numbers…first deposit went in on this baby around December 3rd of 2014. Was she worth the wait? I honestly have to say…YES. The promo shots on this doll had expectations levels extremely high so I was very skeptical on whether it would deliver. I am happy to say Rare Appearance Dania delivers and then some. This lady exudes chic upscale class.
I will say it again…this is one classy lady. She comes with a pair of grey gloved hands which I adore. Here jewelry is simple, classic and understated. The handbag and shoes are TO DIE FOR.
I had WAY too much fun shooting this one.
Oh yes…new favorite model has entered Inside The Fashion Doll Studio.
Announcing The 2015 Katy Keene Collection
Integrity toys announced on Saturday that they have secured licensing for and have developed a collection of dolls based on the Archie Comic character Katy Keene. Vaughn Sawyer was lead designer for this collection. Keep in mind that these dolls are all on CI bodies which means their shoes will be larger and the clothing will fit slightly larger than FR2.

2015 Poppy Parker Collection Revealed
David Buttry walked collectors through the new offerings for 2015 in the Poppy Parker collection. This doll line is an increasingly popular line for Integrity Toys and David Buttry brings a wonderful vision to his designs and this collection. He stated in the webinar that his inspiration for this collection started with a documentary about Diana Vreeland, legendary fashion icon and editor of both Harpers Bazaar and US Vogue. The 1960’s will come alive again through Poppy Parker this year.
For those of you who are not WClub members and have not been in contact with dealers regarding these dolls, run don’t walk to your IT dealer and get on the list for anything you want. The grapevine reports that many of these Poppy’s are already sold out.

The name of this girl says it all. She is all suited up and accessorized for a modeling “Go see”. The little blue portfolio with pictures is a nice touch. She is adorable and for those collectors that are happy to enter into and stay in the 60’s for a while, this collection will be right up your alley. I am still a fan of the 1950’s Poppy so most of this line is a pass for me. I am happy for those collectors who do favor this time period.

Whoa! You have to give it to a designer when they really take themselves outside of the box and go with it. While the 60’s is not my favorite fashion era, you have to love the full out no holds barred drama and fun of this look. This is total 1960’s Verushka Vogue. This is also, according to David,one of his favorites from the collection. Far out! I am shocked this wasn’t one of the centerpiece dolls for upcoming Cinematic convention.

2015 Fashion Royalty Collection Revealed
This past Saturday, Integrity Toys revealed 4 separate doll collections to their WClub members through the increasingly popular webinar. I wish I could say that things went well as years past but this year a few technical glitches meant that a portion of viewers did not get to see the webinar live. I was one of the lucky ones who had good video and audio during the entire thing but the messages on the forums right after the webinar brought to light that many attendees did not have that experience. Integrity Toys handled the situation about as well as anyone could. They acknowledged the issue, apologized for the problems and were very quick to get the recorded video out to those members who missed it within an hour after the webinar. Not only that, they had recap emails with pictures in WClub members email boxes within minutes of the webinar ending. Just goes to show, tech issues are not relegated to Mattel alone. Integrity Toys handled their situation better in my opinion though. People were still able to purchase product.
First collection up for review on ITFDS is the 2015 Fashion Royalty Collection. Vaughn Sawyer, senior designer with I.T. presented the line and explained that the direction from Jason Wu and inspiration for this years FR line was based on debutantes and socialites of the early 60’s. Chic, elegant, sophisticated were some of the buzz words used. I would also throw in subtle and understated in the mix to describe this collection. All good words in my opinion and right in line with what I like to collect. This collection is cohesive. Some may call it too subtle and understated…I would not agree but see their point.
Also, For those of you who are not WClub members and have not been in contact with dealers regarding these dolls, run don’t walk to your IT dealer and get on the list for anything you want. The grapevine reports that many of these dolls are rapidly approaching sell outs.

Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Dark Espresso
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Love that they are including gloved hands with some of these. Also, it is amazing how little details just fill in the story. What do I love most about this navy and cream herringbone sheath? I love the little navy collar and the amazingly detailed designer belt in miniature. Don’t even get me started on the adorable shoes and bag. Also, this collection brings in a new set of sophisticated jewelry. Thanks I.T.!! Isha’s hair is braided according to Vaughn.
Prestige
Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 700 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Mid-July 2015

Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Walnut
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Do you love cloche hats? If so, this was your collection. It was definitely a highlighted accessory and shows up in multiple offerings. Plaid also seems to be a favorite print. Was plaid a 1960’s socialite/debutante staple?? Have no idea. While I love Natalia and was overjoyed to see her in a different hairstyle ( no blond waves!!), this outfit left me kind of “meh”. Then…they had to throw in the hot pink purse and shoes along with enamel earrings and silver ring. The accessories were the tipping point. I’m in.

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 800 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Early August 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $135.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Eugenia
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Caramel Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
More cloche hats and plaid people. I love the rose and khaki colors together. To me, the previous Natalia and this Eugenia say “Ladies lunch”. I adore the crossover ponytail that shows up multiple times I believe in this collection. Perhaps an influence from Jason’s past runway shows.
Hair from Jason Wu’s Fall 2013 runway show. ( picture is hilarious as woman in front of model gives off a Kilroy was here vibe LOL!)
Refinement
Vanessa Perrin™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 800 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Mid-July 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $145.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Vanessa 3.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Ash Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
To be honest, not a fan of the plaid coat but…am willing to go with it to get this chic black satin blouse with tone on tone black plaid pencil skirt. The light blue purse with little aqua accents and silver accessories puts this well into “what I like” category. I am hesitant on the lip color and am hoping it is not as purple in real life as it appears in photo. If I am wrong, a lip repaint will be in her future. Otherwise stunning face with beautiful eyes and gorgeous ash blond waves.
Fine Print
Elise Jolie™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 800 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Early August 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $145.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Elise
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: Red Amber
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
OK…first off…my favorite face mold is Elise. One of my favorite coat fashions is a shawl collar camel coat. This Elise is a redhead and she is carrying a cream color Birkin for pete’s sake. Game over….had me at Elise. The rest is just rich yummy gravy. I could go on and on about the camel gloved hands too. This was my favorite of the collection and the one “must have” for me of all the released doll information on Saturday. I believe Vaughn called this hairstyle a “tucked bob” in the webcast and this Elise is back to her original pale skin tone.
Fame Fable
Kyori Sato™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 700 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Mid-July 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $135.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Kyori 2.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Bombshell Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Love the platinum blonde tresses on this version of Kyori. While the previous ladies revealed could all be doing “ladies lunch” this lady is all about dinner. She is all about dinner and perhaps an agenda after dinner. The sexy plunging neckline and clean simple accessories spell CHIC. The detail on that clutch is beyond amazing.
Timeless
Adèle Makéda™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 700 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Early August
Suggested Retail Price: $135.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Adèle 3.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone
Hair Color: Black
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
If Kyori was chic and sophisticated dinner, this Adele would be frothy Cinderella princess gala evening. My first though and that of many others in the WClub was this was a direct channeling of Lupita N’yongo and her blue Prada gown from the 2014 Oscars. Indeed, all you would need to add is a silver headband to this Adele, and you would have Lupita ( well…you would need plunging neckline too). ADORE this Adele. Head to toe, a winner. Vaughn shared that this dress is all one piece for you redressers out there.
Perfect Reign
Tatyana Alexandrova™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Limited Edition Size of 700 Dolls
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Late August 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $135.00
Available through I.T. dealers
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Tatyana 2.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Honey Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Wowza! If Adele is the Cinderella of the collection, this Tatyana would be the Anna Karenina. No sweetness here…just sophistication and haughty Eastern European cheekbones LOL. LOVE the face on this one. Paired with this beautiful honey blond instead of black hair, she is a knockout. The redress potential on this one I predict will be very high. Can’t wait.
When IT does a webinar, they invariably offer up an event doll to club members. As this is Integrity Toy’s, 20th year and the 10th anniversary of the WClub, a special giftset was offered to WClub members.
Royal Treatment
Véronique Perrin™ Dressed Doll Gift Set
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2015 Online Event Exclusive
Limited Edition Size: TBA (Edition Size Based on Orders Received)
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Fall 2015
Suggested Retail Price: $225.00 + Shipping and Handling
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Véronique 2.0
Body Type: FR 2013
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: Pale Blond (Pulled back into a low center parted ponytail with criss-cross detail).
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
The reception of this giftset has been lukewarm at best. Many are complaining of the high price point for this and I can see where they are coming from. Frankly, the polka dot dress doesn’t live up to the sophisticated look of this line. I much prefer the black and white polka dot gown we received on WClub luncheon Elise from 2012 Tropicalia convention. This particular Veronique has a very different look to her. She has cream skin tone which has never been used on a Vero before. All this being said, I think this might be one of those sleeper dolls. You know…the one that people pan at first then when it ships and people start photographing, people say “ Oh my word, I had no idea she could look that good!”. Time will tell.
Poppy Parker collection up next in a minute.
Reigning Grace
Ok WClubbers and anyone interested in 1/6 fashion dolls, here is Integrity Toy’s first indication of what this years convention and convention collection will give us. Information was released for public consumption on the doll that will be available to all WClub members. Integrity Toys convention attendees will get a special price on this fashionista. The first look, however, or the feel of this years convention theme would indicate “Nirvana” for those who appreciate classic Hollywood history and costuming. Needless to say, this first look into the convention has activated the “pavlovian “response in this collector. I believe I am wearing a bib while I type this post to control the drool…I am that stoked based on a mere sketch of a doll.

Eugenia Perrin Frost Dressed Doll

2015 Cinematic Convention Upgrade
Limited Edition Size: TBA
Delivery Date: Approximately Late October 2015
Sketch by Jessy Ayala. Source for photo WWW.Interitytoys.com
WClubbers, check your email for the link to purchase this exclusive. If you are not in the club, Ebay will be your best choice after this baby is released at convention.
Thanks to Travis and Veronica of the WClub, we are directed to the influence for this lovely fashion and a window( yes…pun intended) into the upcoming convention’s inspiration. This dress is a dead ringer for one of Grace Kelly’s costumes in Rear Window designed by Edith Head.
Classic “Cinematic” styling and influence. If this is what is in store for us at IT convention, I will be apoplectic with glee. I know it is just a sketch of a doll and I know that it may not mean a whole lot but the promise of a convention that will pay homage to historic Hollywood design and costuming is absolutely buoying this post. I.T. , you are setting a high bar. I am hopeful you will meet and exceed it.
2015 Integrity Toys Convention is Announced …
…and the only words I can give you if you are not a WClub member are:
“You can’t touch this!”
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1iLhNT8Usg
Last year, the Integrity Toys convention sold out in 48 hours. The information for signup was given first to WClub members yesterday around 1PM PST. There were 500 spots open for the three day event and they were “gone baby gone” by yesterday evening. The unprecedented sellout speaks volumes about this company and the growing popularity of their products. It will be interesting to see if I.T. decides to open this convention up to a bigger audience. I am on the fence about it. On one side I would love to see the event grow to accommodate all who wish to attend. On the other side, I don’t want to lose the intimate family reunion feel of this collector weekend. Clearly, Integrity Toys is doing something right if their conventions are sold out within hours of announcing to their most preferred customers. Way to get people to sign up for your WClub next year guys….well done! Lesson learned…if you want to attend an I.T. convention…you really do need to be in the club…the WClub that is. If you would like to join the wait list for this event go to the Integrity Toys website or FB page. I would post the link but as of this posting, they have not updated their site or FB page. Just keep checking back, I am sure they will have a link for the waiting list soon.
Convention will be October 21-24th in Long Beach California. The theme is “Cinematic” and according to the literature it will be a mix of Fashion Royalty old Hollywood glamour mixed with Nu Face current brat pack red carpet Hollywood chic. This year Integrity Toys is celebrating 20 years of being in business so who knows what they have in store for convention goers. They have also changed up things a bit by offering a special bonus cocktail party and souvenir doll to people who signed up for the “early bird” registration. This type of registration requires you to pay your registration fee of $475 up front instead of in installments( installment method requires payment of $500 over a couple months). It is basically a perk for people who pay all up front. It is a smart business move on Integrity’s part because they get money with which to pay their convention costs earlier rather than later. They also let their WClub members know a couple weeks in advance that they would be announcing the convention registration. This was thoughtful on a couple of different levels. It let people know that it was coming up so nobody should have been blindsided with a big $500 fee out of nowhere . It also said “We care about our preferred customers equally”. It said “we want everyone who really wants to go to have an equal chance of grabbing a ticket. Lastly, it rewarded the people who have saved up to go to this event and could pay everything up front.
Another big change this year and in my humble opinion a good one was the removal of formal proxies for convention. A proxy is when you pay someone to attend a convention for you. In a typical “proxy” situation, a collector will pay the registration fee and possibly hotel and travel charges for someone to attend the convention for them and then they get all the convention goodies( gifts, dolls and convention collection) at convention prices without actually having to attend. Given the secondary market prices of some of these limited and rare convention goodies, many people did this. I always wondered why Integrity Toys would even allow themselves to act as the intermediary in these arrangements. In the past, you could register under your name and your “proxy” would pick up your stuff. The bookkeeping alone on these arrangements must have been a nightmare. From a legal standpoint, these arrangements are lawsuits waiting to happen ( calling all lawyers to jump in here with your opinions). If someone legally registers to receive a product and you deliver that product to their “proxy”, then their “proxy” doesn’t deliver…who is on the hook for the product? By my estimations, because Integrity Toys put themselves in the middle of that one…they are left having to satisfy both parties. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. From a business standpoint, they are smart to get out of the business of proxies all together. People can still proxy but it is a private agreement between two individuals. I.T. is not involved. As far as they are concerned, they give product ( convention goodies) only to the person registered for convention. Smart, simple, clean.
Integrity Toys is doing something else different this year as well. They are giving a special convention doll to the WClub…not just convention going WClubbers but all WClub members if they are interested. It is a nice way of saying they value their customers and a nice boost to those who want to go to convention but just can’t swing it. Let’s face it, not everyone can go to these events. I feel lucky and blessed to have been able to go these past couple of years. You have to give it to a company that understands their customer base and is trying to speak to it’s ever changing and growing needs. Maybe I am being too philosophical but I liked the way they are handling it this year.
So…did I manage to snag myself a ticket in the free for all yesterday??? What do YOU think?

If you are WClub member, you have until Wednesday, March 11th, 2015 at Noon Eastern (New York Time) to enter the lotteries.
While these are intriguing, I believe I will sit this lottery out. My favorite is Dark Side.
Lilith the Muse
Many collectors have face mold favorites. Many photographers have favorite models. For me as a collector and photographer, I can honestly say there are some dolls that seem to draw the lens and some that don’t. Great Pretender Lilith was and continues to be one of my favorite models. As collectors we also have those dolls that we go back and forth on as to whether we should purchase. I knew I loved the face on this doll. Her outfit was not my cup of tea though. I decided to go ahead and get her because I loved the soft makeup palette. I am so glad I made that purchase. I decided to put her hair up in a simple updo. She has such a regal high fashion look with the hair change. I adore it.

And…lest you think I only dress this doll in hot pink…here are some non pink shots.
But those were the only ones…then found some more hot pink shots. Too funny.

Ombres Poétique
There was a new arrival this week at ITFDS.
This gown is so much frothy yumminess that I can barely contain myself as I type this. All that tulle!!! Love the lace too. The necklace on this beautiful lady is a new design for IT and it appears to be strung on some kind of stretchy filament rather than string. We will see if it holds up better than the plain string. The hair bump was overdone a few years back at IT but it is subtle on this one and works very well. The hair color is a beautiful platinum blonde.
That Holiday Feeling
I did manage to take a few photos here recently that I have been waiting to share. Hope everyone is maintaining an even strength this holiday season. Recently the Integrity Toys WClub held another lottery for a much coveted Poppy Parker Doll. Her name is “That Holiday Feeling”
While her edition size was a whopping 800, it still wasn’t enough to satisfy demand for this popular brand. There were many left wanting a chance to buy this pretty lady. I was lucky enough to be picked this time around but I am sad about it because I wish ,à la Oprah, there were “Poppy’s for everyone!” It got me to thinking about all the fabulous Poppy’s that are already out there and I decided to do a holiday photo shoot with one of my recent favorites. I know it doesn’t bring “That Holiday Feeling” home to everyone but maybe it will bring a little bit of Holiday Poppy into your home.
Model: Especially for You Poppy Parker
Gown: Go Red For Women Barbie® Doll
And…because I was having fun with photoshop and I am sad to not be going to Paris any time soon….
** A special note of thanks to Ms. “H” for making this dress wearable on Poppy Parker 
Tulabelle 2014
I.T. and David Buttry gave us another fabulous Tulabelle collection to pour over. Just to remind people who this lady is…she is Poppy Parker’s granddaughter so some of the pieces she has in her wardrobe are vintage pieces from her grandmother’s fashion career. Note: Gold lame coat on “Front Row” is same coat Poppy wears in “Spy-A-Go-Go”. Cool continuity David!
Available at all Integrity Toys Dealers.
