OOAK Numina Devon: Cerise

Hi everyone,

This year is the year that I decided to make some of my long held doll dream come true (not all unfortunately since I wanted to do it without robbing a bank- and there are some things that money cannot buy). One of these dreams is owning a OOAK Numina doll, hand painted and assembled by Paul Pham.
Please meet Cerise.... She has the special dark tan skin tone, one of the skin tones that have not been used on production dolls but only on OOAK projects. Her make up is inspired by cherry blossoms (pink and white) turning to full red fruits, like the red on her lips.
I really want to say that it is great fun to work on a OOAK project with Paul. He is just super creative and has at the same time a very good intuition on what doll would be just right for you- at least, I feel he created a doll that exactly matched what I was looking for even if I was not able to give him descriptions that were any more clear than what I just wrote above. Paul also went great lenghts to ensure that I could take my doll home in time after the LA Sybarite event, so that I could take her in my hand luggage.
Cerise walks a thin line between looking innocent and sultry perfectly in my opinion! In these pictures, she wears Numina boots and a Sybarite slip dress.

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.
