Hi all, I don't really feel like I am "up" on everything that is going on in the candi world since I have been away from my computer for 14 months due to a shoulder injury and surgery, etc. so I would greatly appreciate your help if you could steer me in the right direction when I am incorrect about anything, etc. I just got the new Candi (baggie for $9.99) from Paul David - I have to say I was so dissappointed and stunned when I saw her. Talk about make-up - this poor thing looks like a clown! She has a fuller face and an open smiling mouth. I thought Veronique was "the new" candi. Can anyone shed any light on this confusion I am having? Also, does anyoone know why I am just coming up as a "k" instead of my entire name or e-mail address like everyone else? Thanks so much for hanging in threre with me, Karla towers at etticomm.net

Well, I must say the pics finished me off on this doll. I had to e-mail Suzanne and order her. I was teetering on the brink before, but she was so pretty I just had to get one. Hubby loved this one too. It is way easier to talk him into a doll when he likes it as well. On another note, for those looking for nice Ken outfits, I just picked up a really great new FA for Ken called Date at 8:00 fashion. It is black slacks, and a pretty burgundy sweater. Much classier than your average Ken outfit. Will try and get it on a Ken and take a pic later in the week. My camera is still giving me fits, and it takes forever for pics, but I have a bunch that need to be taken. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO

Hi! I have been looking at pics of this Candi and am so tempted. I think that the heavy eye make-up is very glamorous and certainly has something to do with why she is called Feline Formality.

male dolls
by Pat Hawkins 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

I have never given away any of my men dolls like I have my female dolls. I have a lot of different ones now and hold onto them all. I must have some salacious interest in variety Orig. I was going to collect antique dolls 'till I got a load of their prices...then I collected porcelein dolls until I broke one of them & that ended that...then collected various older, big dolls such as the Chrissie & Velvet sisters. I started with the Barbie dolls 'cause I thought they were unbreak. ( vinyl) & cheap HA! But at 1st , since I had sons & no daughters, I only collected boy dolls like GI Joe, Ken, Kevin & the black males under various names ( & also all black dolls cause they're so beautiful & for awhile there, were easier & cheaper to get ) I really wasn't interested in having a bunch of all the identical looking blondes, so I collect mostly Barbies' friends in various incarnations. ...some Genes & Tylers & Elle....... Of course, I have all kinds of Candi dolls, which is my great love. But male dolls still interest me...today , for instance, I went to the thrift shop & came home with a Capt. John Smith , still with his long hair uncut ( he's such a hunk) A Harrison Ford from Star Wars series ( he looks sooo young!) & some tiny baby boys, dressed & with shoes even( I think they're from that quintuplet series of some brand or another from back a few years ) I'm always on the lookout for diff. male dolls of any brand to pair with my girls be they Barb or Candi. The problem with them, is getting clothes to fit that's something other than a uniform, because it's hard to get anything to fit over those Ham-like hands they usually have, or massive chests & shoulders & their heads usually won't fit a Ken body, if you can get them off that is.

Happy July 4th

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy and safe 4th of July. I have a question and please forgive me if anything sounds stupid and please forgive my typos because I haven't been on my computer for about 14 months due to a shoulder injury and surgery, etc. You can't imagine how long it is taking me to type this message!! Anyway, I just received an order of charices' - 2 Betty Pages (this was my first time seeing Betty Page) and I absolutely love her! I got two of the vintage candis - one swedish and swirl and one gorgeous hispanic bubble cut. This bubble cut is gorgeous!!!! I also got Raven Red Roses, Violets and Mints and White Blossoms in Bloom that were on the front of the "flyer: I receieved from Paul David. Do most of you get his catalogs? I got the new Charice baggie and wasd stunned when I saw her - I am not used to Candi/Charice smiling and her face is so rounded. What are your opinions on the new doll?? Karla

I just saw this link and took a look. I love the dioramas! My gosh, besides the story I was checking out the kitchen and its accessories, the musical instruments, the kitty cat and on and on. What fun! Now, inquiring minds want to know just exactly what Candi is wishing for, LOL!

If you have time, and the patience to deal with my under-developed webpage, please take a look. It's not done yet, neither the dolly playing nor the webpage, but hope you enjoy the start. Thanks. http://home.attbi.com/~dolls4me/wsb/index.html >>
