Off to the Sybarite US Convention "Live from the Sunset strip" !

I am typing this from the Munich airport as I am getting ready to fly to Los Angeles to attend the first US Sybarite convention, "Live from the Sunset strip". There will be an off schedule event on Wednesday the 24th followed by a cocktail, lunch and dinner event on the three successive days (one event per day). 
The exclusive items cover an accessory set, an outfit and a doll (as well as goody bags). I could nit be more excited to travel to the US west coast for the furst time and attend such an event which I am sure will be fabulous!! :)
If you are also traveling let me know so that I can meet up with virtual friends ;-)

New Sybarite: Meadow, premiere for the new Monoglam collection

Hi everybody,

The rumors that I posted in my post about the IDC last month are true and here is Meadow, the first doll from the new collection, Monoglam.

I unfortunately do not have this doll in hand yet but here is a picture of her beautiful face and mohair wig (braided and put in an updo on the back).


One of the fascinating things I realized about her even if I can only look at other people's pictures and the photos which my boyfriend is taking for me of my doll (he took the pictures you see in this blog post) is the painting of her finger nails.

Only on her left ring finger, she does not have red nail polish but silver or golden one... I wonder, could it mean that she is enganged to be married? ;-) I guess Charles and Desmand from Superdoll are taken, so I wonder who her sweetheart is... or maybe a star crossed love? ;-)

Fashion Royalty Exclusive dolls for the IFDC Las Vegas 2013

 Hi everybody,

This year's IFDC had a horror theme and Integrity designed three exclusive dolls to go with it. It seems like three dolls are the new standard for this event... I think it used to be one. Every now and then I wonder if doll makers make a particularly good margin on event dolls since it seems that there are more and more events with more and more dolls per event.


 All these dolls are limited to 300 pieces.

The first one uses the Anja scult and is called Glam Vamp. I am not a big fan of this sculpt but this doll looks fine actually. Just not so special or exciting that I'd hunt one down on the seconary market.
This doll is called Dark Fable and uses the Imogen sculpt. I must confess that I just find this doll very tacky from head to toe. The hairstyle, the mixed color in the hair, the outfit, everything.

 The final doll is my favorite. She uses the the first Tatiana sculpt which I think is completely gorgeous. The doll is too literal for me in the horror theme but the sculpt is just so great so I wouldn't mind winning one in the W Club Lottery.

Dusted Red - Sybarite Cadenza

Hi everyone,

Finally, one of my own pictures to be shared on this blog again! :-) I really hope I will have more time for photographing and editing soon- It is actually a wonderful counterweight for work to be able to do something creative in my hobby but lately I have been working so much that I just didn't get around it, sadly.

This is Sybarite Cadenza who I think should be more popular than she is, wearing the gown from Sybarite The Cross. I wonder what happened to Cadenza's popularity that seemed to be high when her first promotional images were released. The Voltair sculpt does have rather large lips which are not for everyone but then again, you could see this coming since the sculpt had been established for a while. Hmmm.... luckily I also have love for dolls which are not "holy grails" ;-)

Teaser of upcoming Inamorata dolls: Nnaji "Cherub" and "Seraph"

Hi everyboday!

After missing out on Inro, I was really happy to receive this teaser of two extremely beautiful Inamorata dolls that will be released soon. They will mark the first release with the eagerly awaited Nnaji sculpt.

Emilia decided not to do another doll with an edition of 40 but two editions of 20 dolls, both Lingerie dolls, but Cherub will be more basic with basic lingerie and flocked hair instead of a wig. Seraph will come with very elaborate lingerie (I think I remember Emilia once hinting she will come with sexy boots too!) and a high quality wig like Inro did. The price point of these dolls will differ based on what they come with.

I was initially planning to treat myself to the more elaborate version of Nnaji but I must say I love Seraph's face up so much, so I will try for her.
In addition, at the same time as Seraph and Cherub one outfit will be released with each doll. They will have an edition of 30 but nothing else is known about them except the names: with Cherub there will be a gown on sale called Vertebrata and at the same time as Seraph, there will be a casual fashion called Röntgen.

These news got me really excited! As you know I own some repaints and fashions by Emilia and cannot wait to have her first fully self created product in hand.
