Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

Very Necessary

Hollis Hughes™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Hollis

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Top Model Hollis Hughes has been around the world and is a well-regarded voice in the Industry. She’s been brought onto the TRUE team to lend her expertise and knowledge to the brand and to make sure the company’s goals are kept on target. Irreverent, fierce, incredible and loyal are the words often used to describe Ms. Hughes.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Cropped jacket;

• Pleated denim pants with ruched waistband detail; 

• Custom printed bra top; 

• Sunglasses; 

• Gold-tone bamboo style hoop earrings; 

• Chain necklace with rhinestone pendant; 

• Bangle bracelets; 

• Blue pumps; 

• Enamel flower brooch; 

• Custom printed purse; 

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

Big Love

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Bright Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Through years of experience in the fashion industry, Tulabelle has taken on a new role as creative director at her own label. She’s a free-spirit who is as smart as she is fun. She’s ready to step out of the shadows of her well known family and become a success on her own merits.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Printed bodysuit with ruched sleeve and bow detail;

• Corduroy bibbed jumper with skirt;

• Purple faux fur jacket;

• Color blocked thigh high boots (made for flat foot lower leg);

• Vintage style handbag;

• Acrylic heart earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

Item # 88085

Shut It Down

Liu Liu Ling™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Liu Liu

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Close friend of Tulabelle and as a senior stylist of the TRUE brand, Liu Liu has built a reputation for being honest and direct with her friends and business associates, making her one of the most trusted and well-regarded people in the fashion industry. She’s one of Tulabelle’s biggest assets at the brand, and she knows it.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Sheer checkered body suit; 

• Custom printed crop top with short sleeves and ruffle detail; 

• Low-rise corduroy wide leg pants; 

• Red faux fur trapper hat;

• Silver-tone "belt" chain;

• Silver-tone drop earrings with enamel detail;

• Two finger rings;

• Two bangle bracelets;

• One cuff bracelet;

• Fox magnet brooch;

• Crossbody tote bag;

• Color blocked vintage inspired tennis shoes;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Item # 88076

Drop That Ish

Tate Tanaka™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tate

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black Velvet Flocking

The Story:

As a noted designer, entrepreneur, and boyfriend of Tulabelle, Tate Tanaka has taken on the role as head of design at TRUE. Leaning into his many connections and resources and model good looks, he’s determined to make the TRUE brand stand out from the crowd.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

• Orange corduroy cargo pants;

• Gold-tone plaid shirt;

• Matching teddy bear backpack;

• Vintage inspired graphic tee;

• Sleeveless distressed jean vest;

• Necklace;

• Finger ring (not pictured);

• High top sneakers;

• White sport socks;

• Faux fur bucket hat;

• Wristwatch;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Colorful camo print bubble dress with drawstring detail and matching panties;

• Anorak style jacket with hood and "True" branded trim;

• Baby blue printed T-shirt;

• Knee high buckled platform boots with back zipper;

• Rhinestone choker;

• Pink painted hoop earrings;

• Red painted skull ring with rhinestone detail;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

Auden Adler™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Auden 1.0

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

MSRP: $165 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price*: $150 + S & H

(For RTB winners only, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be due before Feb. 3rd).

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

• Custom knit striped sweater;

• Distressed green jeans;

• Brown corduroy jacket;

• Printed tote bag;

• "Leather" Oxford shoes;

• Ash grey socks;

• Gold-tone chain necklace;

• Heart finger ring;

• Head scarf;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.

The final two Magia 2000 dolls for their collaboration with Integrity Toys are revealed!

I do not thing anyone was expecting that the remaining two dolls from the Magia 2000/ Integrity Toys collaboration would appear together, but here they are. W Club members received the corresponding email which revealed the two dolls, with characters from NU Face. The fact that the designers picked these particular sculpts sparked a flurry of comments and conversations in forums, groups and social media. One of the two specifically, Colette, drew a lot of ire, not only for being the 2.0 version (which had so far been used only in the first release of the new Colette sculpt), but also for its appearance. More on that later on. Here is what the designers, Gianni and Mario, said about the dolls:

For the final two dolls of our capsule collection, we wanted to continue with the concept of “day-to-night” fun!

We know how much IT collectors love to play with their dolls, undress them and switch accessories and clothing pieces, therefore, we opted to embrace this facet of collecting as much as possible. We were given the chance to design for two NU. Face characters and we couldn’t be more excited at the opportunity to challenge ourselves by creating extravagant looks for this highly prized, modern, and younger doll collection.

We also jumped at the chance to have Colette and Karolin appear in never-used-before skin tones/hair color combos and incorporate details inspired by the last two cities of the Italian tour, Milan and Rome!"

-Mario & Gianni, Magia 2000

Let’s check out both dolls, whose majority were available through a lottery for the W Club (which I am happy to say have been picked to buy in the lottery), and a small percentage of their edition will be available to the public when they arrive at the IT warehouse sometime in late spring/early summer of 2023.

The Story:

Third in a series of dolls created especially for Integrity Toys, each figure and doll in this series will take fans on an ultra-creative tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals, as seen through the eyes of fabulous design duo Magia 2000!

Milan is recognised as a tour-de-force in fashion, being one of the world's four fashion capitals and leveraging its strengths in the fields of art, design, entertainment, commerce and tourism.

Fashion fans get ready! Magia 2000's tour of Italy continues and today we stop by one of Milan's most sought after runway shows to celebrate the best that Italian fashion has to offer! NU. Face top model Colette Duranger makes a flash appearance on the catwalk, modeling gorgeous fashion pieces that combined, create a mini "day-to-night" wardrobe! She is the perfect muse for designers and drives all the influencers crazy with her posh looks!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair;

• Black gabardine high-rise culotte pants;

• White satin sleeveless cropped top with rhinestone neckline;

• Over-the-top jacket with feathery "lashes";

• Mesh sleeveless cropped top with applied rhinestone deco (can be worn alone or as an overlay with the satin top above);

• Glittery micro-sequined mermaid skirt;

• Golden belt with matching, detachable purse;

• Golden chrome ruched "leather" high-heeled boots;

• Pair of golden chrome chunky heel shoes;

• Oversized sunglasses with Magia 2000 carry case;

• Magia 2000 black mesh tote;

• Drop faux-diamond earrings;

• Chunky cuff bracelet with matching faux-diamond accent;

• Golden signet ring;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of golden chrome "gloved" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I was not a fan of the original version of the Colette new sculpt when it came out during the Supermodel convention (check link in the introduction). The revamped 2.5 version is the best Colette sculpt and I have one. So this doll had me in a conundrum: I really wanted to have all the dolls from this collaboration in my collection, but not liking a sculpt poses a serious problem. The golden make up tones she is sporting did not help the situation either. The make up also drew a lot of hate from people online, many being people of colour protesting that it is always the dark skinned dolls that get the garish, bold or metallic make up, while the lighter skinned ones get the softer tones to look more natural and lovely. Exhibit A is of course Dominique from the 2021 convention (which is a doll I love, in major part because of her make up). My humble opinion is that the truth is somewhere in the middle: yes, it is not fair that darker skinned dolls get this treatment, but on the other hand, bold and metallic colours do look better on them (and pigments have to be stronger to show properly on darker skin). A counter argument of course could be that her golden make up could have been applied more delicately, like the one on 24K Erin Salston from the Fairytale convention. It would have probably looked more appealing - at least to my eyes. The way it is designed in the prototype reminds me of the ancient Egyptian funerary masks found on mummies, which you could either say could be an inspiration or a bad look. Further more, combined with platinum white hair, instead of say a black afro or a more natural hair look, compounds the problem. I love the outfits (two!) she comes in, and the many possibilities in combining the various bits and pieces (despite the clash of gold and silver/white of some of them), but the doll is somewhat problematic - even more so considering it was designed by white cis gay male people. The doll was shown in an accompanying video with the designers being interviewed by Carol Roth and looked quite better in real life. Which of course does not negate the inherent problem it seemingly has.

The Story:

Fourth and final in a series of dolls created especially for Integrity Toys, each figure and doll in this series will take fans on an ultra-creative tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals, as seen through the eyes of fabulous design duo Magia 2000!

With a long history that spans more than 28 centuries, Magia 2000's tour of Italy concludes with a thrilling final stop at the center of it all, the "Eternal City"; Rome! Also called "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World), Rome is generally considered to be the cradle of Western civilization. Famous artists, painters, sculptors, and architects made Rome the center of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 2019, Rome was the 14th most visited city in the world, with 8.6 million tourists, the third most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist destination in Italy.

For this final stop, NU. Face top model Karolin Stone makes a most memorable appearance in Rome just in time for the Rome Film Festival, a yearly affair that is attended by hottest actors and directors in the film industry! Wearing a look inspired by some of the architectural details of one of the city's most famous landmarks, the Trevi fountain, Karolin's look can transform from an extravagant cocktail look to a show stopping Grand Gala "entrance" moment! With such over-the-top, glamorous looks at her command, Karolin is sure to leave an undeniable mark in the history of Italian fashion!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with intricately styled, rooted hair*;

• Pink, long sleeved off-shoulder "bonbon" mini-dress with embroidered and beaded embellishments on the skirt;

• Seafoam green tulle petticoat/underskirt (not shown);

• Floor length, show-stopping overskirt finished with ruffled details;

• Floor length, seafoam green lace veil with ruffle accents;

• Matching clutch purse with rhinestone accents;

• Pink stockings;

• Pair of thigh-high pink boots;

• Pair of pink chunky platform heels;

• Intricate choker necklace with three rows of "pearl" and rhinestone accents;

• Over-the-top, ultra-intricate chandelier earrings with rhinestone accents;

• Alternate, delicate earrings with "pearl" drop;

• Tiara/comb accessory with rhinestone accents;

• Chrome "silver" powder compact accessory;

• Matching chunky signet ring with rhinestone accents;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

*NOTE ABOUT KAROLIN'S HAIRSTYLE: Please note that Karolin's hair has been rooted to specifically create her elaborate hairstyle. If you opt to undo this hairstyle and take it down, we cannot guarantee that the full head will be rooted and some bald spots may be present. Undoing this hair style will void the warranty.

If it wasn’t for her grand baroque madonna style, with a bit of Moschino by Jeremy Scott Fall 2020 RTW inspiration, Karolin would have been left in the shadow of Colette. I love what the guys did with her, managing to make me actually want to by a Karolin doll (I really do not like her sculpt). Maybe Mario and Gianni should have made Karolin a dark skinned lady in her crinoline gown (Bridgerton anyone?) instead, she would have looked awesome with the pinks. She is a direct connection to their usual work, with all the pomp and decoration she has (including the madonna veil), while still remaining a production doll instead of an OOAK offering. I love both versions of the outfit (long and short) and the accessories are gorgeous - the Valentino boots and pumps alone are amazing (but would have been perfect if she had something more impressive on her head, like the ship True Royalty Vanessa had). Pure winner.

PUBLIC PURCHASING

More information on public purchasing will be sent after the dolls' arrival, approximately later in Summer 2023.

Stay Tuned Day 4: Poppy Parker does Mary Tyler Moore - Miss Independence

The penultimate day of the Integrity Toys online event “Stay tuned (replacing the convention for 2022) brought W Club members another lottery opportunity for a doll. Again the doll is Poppy Parker, the third of this event if you count the one offered during the event announcement back in August. Did we need one more Poppy? Especially in a year that had a full Poppy collection offered to everyone? I’d say no. I know that miss PP has become the company cash cow but Integrity is not only Poppy Parker. We want our NU Face and Fashion Royalty dolls too.

The new Poppy is called "Miss Independence" and is obviously inspired by Marlo Thomas and her TV series “That Girl”.

The Story:

Everyone's favourite teen fashion model Poppy Parker is the next "IT" girl to keep an eye on! Cast in a '60s sitcom designed to showcase her wonderful personality, follow her in the hilarious and oh-so-fashionable adventures of a young aspiring actress who moves to the Big Apple, dreaming of making it big in the acting business, while doing her very best to lead an exciting life, as she navigates the challenges faced by any independent woman wanting to have it all!

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Two-piece micro houndstooth ensemble composed of a dress and a long sleeve jacket with bold, bright red contrasting stripes and oversized buttons;

• Oversized, wide-brimmed bowler hat with contrasting navy blue ribbon accent;

• Navy blue stockings;

• Kitten heel shoes;

• Navy blue purse with micro chain strap;

• Red sunglasses;

• Red bangle bracelet;

• Golden bangle bracelet;

• Navy blue bangle bracelet;

• Red cloisonné earrings;

• Magnetic daisy-shaped broach;

• Pair of "Poppy Parker" hands;

• Alternate pair of "gloved" hands;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

So here is Miss Independence: a cute Poppy, a Marlo Thomas lookalike - which is good. She does have a look that harks back to the early Poppy dolls, both because of her overall styling and her outfit. Pity that she also reminds me a lot of Pretty Bird Poppy. If she had the blue and red suit Marlo Thomas is wearing in the series opening credits, she’d be more desirable. And the hat is an old staple of Poppy, I must have at least five or six in various colours. Painted hands instead of the glove hand sculpt? High heeled extra pair of feet without shoes to match? Her screening is almost the same with Sparkling Sunset. Cute but not gorgeous, for me at least.

Stay Tuned Day 2: Poppy Parker as an alien!

The second day of the online Integrity Toys 2022 event in lieu of a convention, "Stay Tuned", gave us only one doll: Poppy Parker playing an alien commander, as designed by David Buttry. "Galaxy Girl", is supposedly a sci-fi drama featuring Poppy Parker playing Commander Yeto, “an ultra-smart pink-skinned alien girl who possesses a superior intellect and the power to communicate in any outer-worldly language she desires!”, clearly inspired by Star Trek. The doll is available through lottery for the W Club members - the edition is large, 3,000, so I am sure that most who want her, will get her. Of course there was a video and the corresponding TV title card for the imaginary show.

After the grey skinned Poppy we got as an appetizer for the online event, back in August, now we have a pink skinned doll - with blue hair - offered. She looks cute but a. she reminds me too much of Out Of This World Poppy and b. Cute is not enough to qualify a doll for purchase in this household anymore - not with the prices we currently face (plus the expensive shipping and customs charges) and the general rise of expenses we face in everyday life everywhere. So cute little Miss Galaxy Girl will remain on her far away galaxy. I am curious to see how this hairstyle will survive packaging and shipping. I love that even as an alien, Poppy is so fashion obsessed that she has two different pair of boots to groove in!

The second Integrity Toys / Magia 2000 collaboration doll is Summer in Taormina Vanessa !

As we wait impatiently for the first doll resulting from the collaboration of Integrity Toys and the incredibly talented duo of Magia 2000. Mario and Gianni, here is the second one: Summer in Taormina Vanessa Perrin. As before, this will be mostly for the club, who got dibs through a lottery for most of the edition, while a very small portion will be available for the general public. Read on for more details.

Gianni and Mario, who are the people behind Magia 2000, said this about their inspiration:

“As we love to play, this time around we designed an exciting “day-to-night” look for Vanessa, which brings many display possibilities for collectors to enjoy! The imagery on her dress has been artfully crafted to pay homage to some of the most iconic elements of Sicily, such as the delicious lemons growing on the island, or the strong devotion to the “sacred heart” that the residents all share. We want Vanessa to enjoy a wonderful day through the little streets of Taormina, looking fantastic in the “daytime” version of the dress, and then with a few transformations, look like a vision of perfection, ready for a triumphant appearance at the ancient Greek-Roman theatre later that evening!” - Magia 2000

The Story:

Second in a series of dolls created especially for Integrity Toys, each figure and doll in this series will take fans on an ultra-creative tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals, as seen through the eyes of fabulous design duo Magia 2000!

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea on the East Coast of Sicily, with a rich history that pre-dates the arrival of the ancient Greeks, Taormina is well known as a welcoming haven for artists and is one of the top tourist destinations of Italy, attracting visitors from all over the world! Magia 2000’s exciting, fashionable journey through Italy continues as famed Fashion Royalty® top model Vanessa Perrin® visits the gorgeous seaside town, dressed in a glamorous ultra-detailed gown that is filled with symbolism, ready to make a most anticipated appearance at one of the many festivals that happen in town throughout the summer.

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Doll stand;

After Venice in the north, we travel, with the help of Magia 2000. to the south of Italy: Sicily. The doll is gorgeous and I was really sorry to not being selected through the lottery. Hopefully a take over could emerge - fingers crossed. The inspiration is of course very close to what Dolce and Gabbana are doing in their collections, which mars the beauty of the doll a bit. But they surely do not have an exclusive on being inspired by Sicily.

The doll really succeeds in capturing the ideal beauty image of the island, with her sunny colours, her dark hair and tanned skin, her sultry make up and sexy silhouette, the baroque embellishments and accessories. The idea of making the outfit so versatile is another testament to the genius of Mario and Gianni. You get so many variations with all these pieces, it is perfection. The accessories are of course really glamorous and baroque, channelling the ornamentation and decoration of the Sicilian churches and palaces, and the Sacred Heart head ornament is the cherry on top. The only accessory that looks a bit poor compared to the rest is the pair of black close toed shoes, they look like they could use a bow or two.

A last observation: the doll reminds me a bit if that infamous upgrade Take Me On Vanessa(becaise of the sticker eyes debacle), with her severe hairstyle. She is of course darker skinned and has green instead of blue eyes.
