Sorry for the OT but I have some auctions on eBay and wanted to give you guys a head's up. I have a Tressy (Crissy family) whose blue eyes were replaced with brown open/close eyes that look very similar to the originals. Also, I have black heels to fit Elle. Take a look if you're interested at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1367736565 or search eBay userID: randall90 Thanks, Randall Randall www.choic4guys.com randall(a)choic4guys.com

Re: Interesting note on Embassy Ball Mila
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 20 Jul '02

20 Jul '02

When I started pulling these dolls for shipments, I noticed that the name in the box said Alysa. I talked to Jason today and he told me that this is a factory error. The decision to produce the dolls was fairly last minute and done to accommodate customer requests. The factory didn't have time to have the name Mila run on the boxes and was supposed to not use any name in the boxes because of this. Ooops, someone was asleep at the wheel, so I guess our first Milas, Embassy Ball, are going to be considered to be in those "infamous" error boxes that crop up from time to time in doll collecting, LOL. Back to work for me, just wanted to share this development. I will be in Houston this weekend for a doll show. I know Stefanie will be there and hope some of you others from the area will be, too! Everyone else have a good weekend, too! Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

Re: sewn on?
by Mroczko 19 Jul '02

Hi All, Lots of the upper end dolls have their clothes sewn on, and I don't mean just a stitch to hold the fashion in place. I don't mind with the Mackie dolls, as those I don't plan on redressing ( even though I have seen some cool redresses of those by Mikelman, and like I have more than one of those!) After Kevin mentioned the My Fair Lady dolls, I had to go look, as I could have sworn those were removeable. The Ascot one has snaps, but the pink gown from the last scene is sewn on as tight as can be. Never took that one off! It is a pet peeve of mine for most dolls, and a weird fetish I have in my OOAK work. Most OOAK people sew the fashions on for a tight fit, and I consider that cheating for me. LOL Sometimes I make myself crazy making a fashion that comes off. I have only done three dolls that the clothes were non removeable. Two of those were the metal mesh dresses, that I just couldn't figure out how to manage it, so there was only 1 made of fabric. For me it is a throwback to Mattels vintage years where they made these wonderful clothes that fit perfectly and could be changed at will. Kathy M.

Hi, all! I was shopping at TRU yesterday, having a second look at Kenzie. I didn't bring her home, but I found the most adorable TRU Exclusive set that DID come home with me. It is a Friends of the World Kelly 3-set. There's one dressed in a Spanish Flamenco dress, one in a Dutch outfit with (plastic) wooden shoes, and the sweetest little Kenyan. (She's my favorite!) Just thought you might want to be on the lookout... Melissa

HI All, YEP Most of the HIGH end collectors dolls have the Clothing sewn on, Some that come to mind are ALOT of the MACKIE dolls and I know that the My Fair Lady Series had the clothing sewn onto the doll, and I am sure there are many many more that have the clothing sewn directly on the doll.

Re: new Ken FA
by Mroczko 17 Jul '02

Hi All, Had a chance to snap a quick pic of the new Ken FA I was talking about. I know the pic is a little washed out, but I was trying to let you see how pretty the sweater is. http://www.frii.com/~mroczko/temp/ken.jpg Still kinda dark on the sweater, but at least you can see it is burgundy. I like that the pants are long enough. Amazing how many of Kens things are high water pants. LOL The outfit also comes with a cell phone the small round glasses, a cardboard magazine, and a cardboard money clip ( with 100s showing. Have to keep up with Babs you know, and she is expensive. LOL ) Anyway at least in this outfit, Ken can be seen with Candi. I liked it so much on my Harley Ken that I left it on and put him back at the party with Candi. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft.

Re: New Candis and Madamae Alexander Alex
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 13 Jul '02

13 Jul '02

Good Morning everyone! I'm delighted to say that the new Candis will be in stock next Friday, 7/19/02! They shipped to me yesterday. Preorders will begin shipping as soon as the dolls are checked into inventory and, of course, new orders are welcomed, :-). These dolls are wonderful, imo! I've also put up pics of the actual newly announced Alex dolls due to arrive in November. These were taken in the Madame Alexander showroom at the Dallas Trade Mart. They are wonderful and preorders are being accepted. I'm off to do a mini doll show today. This has become a fun monthly event at one of the doll shops in Austin, TX. Today there will even be two workshops held for wig dyeing and applying eyelashes to dolls. I am impaired with this sort of thing and it may be a good thing that I am working and can't attend. I might be inspired to try and ruin some poor little creature, LOL! Have a good weekend! Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/
