I still have this "Look of '94" doll. I think she was always referred to as the Catsuit Candi because she came in a one-peice, black leotard. But the doll you describe--I don't recall it being a boxed doll sold with that outfit, but I do recall the outfit. Was out of the Couture Line, I think. I have that outfit, too. Sometimes I think I need to make room and am tempted to sell ALL of my "vintage" Candi stuff, but then I rethink the dolls' importance to my fashion doll collection. A couple of months ago I put 3 not-so-favorite Candis on consignment and they got lost, stolen or given to a charity. I put ones on that I didn't have a strong attachment to them--I already knew they wouldn't fetch their original value. A sad fact of most of the older Candis I have. So their greatest value is what I perceive is their importance to my education on fashion doll history. Do any of the CandiChatters have most, if not all, of the Candis beginning with Ms. Hamilton's ultra-limited dolls with all the fancy beading? Regards, pat ----- Original Message ----- From: Harriett Weymon To: Candi Chat List Owner Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 11:52 PM Subject: Re: Memorable Candi Collecting Moments I have one of the early Candi dolls by Hamilton Toys, I think it was "The Look 94". She is an African American doll with brunette hair. I think she came in a two piece suit with a white jacket and orange skirt. She's been redressed, so I don't remember. Her arms are bent at the elbow. I didn't have too much luck afterwards getting Candi because of the problems Hamilton Toys ran into (don't remember the details). My collecting picked up with the Mikelman involvement with Integrity Toys. I have the "Gold Dusted AA doll", and the AA "Santa Baby" doll. My collecting of Integrity toys dolls started with the open mouth Janay doll. I have the first Royal Heritage Wedding set. Collecting of Integrity dolls picked up considerably with Jason Wu's involvement. I like working with the playline dolls for customizing because of the price and quality. Harriett

Candi memories

Hi All, Boy has this brought everyone out of the woodwork. Fun to see so many posts. I about had a fit when I found 56 e-mails in my box this morning. LOL I bought my first Candi from Lizee when someone on the AOL boards I was on at the time posted the pics. I remember being madly in love with the doll, and showing the pic to all my friends. The doll I decided on was the Hispanic secrets doll, and I remember waiting for months for it to show up, but being so thrilled with it when it came. It is still one of the dolls that is ALWAYS out on my shelves. I got a couple of the outfits that came out at that time as well. Then came the New York collection fiasco as well as the downfall of Lizee, and the demise of the original list, and Anja's offer of this wonderful list. I personally had a small run in with Paul David, again over the New York line, and then I found Suzanne, and other than waiting, things have been much better. I tried to get interested in the Charice/Alyssa dolls, and I do like some of the ones Jason has done, but they don't hit me with the "gotta have it" thing that the Candis have always done. I must be really enamored of the doll to go through all this! If you look at my shelves, in general there are more Candis than Babs ( except for my OOAK's) and I get lots of comments on them. Other than Madame Du Barbie (my only Mackie) most people are drawn to one or other of the Candis, and comment on how pretty they are. I think they are eye catching as they are so different from the blond smiling bimbos that so many people associate with Barbie. I am so tickled to have Jason working with Integrity on these dolls, as I know they are in good hands and the love affair can continue for me. I remember how devoted Jason was to Candis, and I think they could have gotten no one better to work on her. Sincerely, Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO
