Re: Announcement regarding Satin Affair and Fashion Week Candis
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 14 Aug '02

Hi all! I had several reports of black marks on the upper arms of these dolls come in. All dolls are not affected but I reported this to Integrity, who in turn took it up with the factory. What is felt has happened is that even though the underside of the glove fabric was age tested to be sure no marks or staining would be caused, the top side of the fabric was not. The factory simply didn't take into consideration that the top side of the fabric would come into contact with the vinyl where the fold was made at the top of the glove. That was a boo-boo! Here are the instructions relayed to me from Integrity. If you have Satin Affair and/or Fashion Week, check your dolls to see if their are dark marks on the upper arm edge of the gloves. If no marks are currently present, the company now recommends removing the gloves to protect the doll's vinyl. If dark marks are present, you may be able to remove them with just soap and water but if this doesn't work, Integrity will replace the body for you at no charge. All you need do is contact them via e-mail or phone shown on the Integrity Toys web site at www.integritytoys.com I don't believe the replacement bodies will be available until the end of September but at least you know you can get one, if you need one. Once again, I applaud the response by Integrity. Knowing they continue to stand behind their product 100% makes purchasing an Integrity product such a joy! As always with this kind of information, please feel free to share it with other lists. You may forward the message from me in its entirety for convenience sake. Integrity would like to know that as many consumers as possible receive this information, so noone sits out there disappointed with the purchase of these gorgeous dolls. Thank you to those who reported the problem to me and to those of you who will help make it known in other areas that there is a remedy! Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

HI All, My friend in Spain said that the waxy look and shine can be gotten rid of on those dolls, I think you just have to wash them with something to get rid of it so its not that shiny looking stuff! TTYS Kevin http://www.CDbK.vze.com http://community.webtv.net/doll4man/CLICKDESIGNSbyKEVIN

bar set with Samantha

Ok, I have to ask and it's probably been answered before and I wasn't paying attention. Where did the bar set come from? Is it a Gloria playset? They are very hot items on ebay right now. Thanks, Phyllis in VA

Hi all! Someone on this list said they'd be interested in seeing a picture of Samatha/Bewitched/Barbie with her stiff hairdo washed and brushed out. Finally got her dressed so I could take her picture... lol. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! http://home.attbi.com/~dolls4me/wsb/html/view.cgi-image.html--SiteID-268336… Robin --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Sam's Outfit
by pa_nz＠ 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Hi, Elizabeth, Kevin, Lunar & Randall, thanks for your responses. Lunar & Randall - Samantha is wearing the Spice Girl mini dress (good for you, Randall for picking one up at a flea market, you must have got a good price. lol) I'm not crazy about minis, but I adore the bodice on this dress, so I found another doll wearing a skirt made of the same fabric and teamed it up with the dress. I've attached a picture if you want to see the full outfit. I need to work on a better belt, but I'm not talented like those of you who can make wonderful outfits... sigh... Still, Samantha is happy with her new dress (better than her black witch outfit, lol) and she's waving hello and hopes you think she looks as swell as she feels. http://home.attbi.com/~dolls4me/sam-waves.gif Robin --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Re: widow's peak hairline dolls(like Samantha)O/T-not Candi related

I can't remember who mentioned this a while back, saying they wanted the Samantha doll because of her hairline(widow's peak) but I just wanted to add the ALL 5 of the Hollywood Barbie dolls have the same hairline (one of the things that attracted me to this series)...You cannot tell until you have the actual dolls that they have this hair line, as their hair-styles hide that fact. I think you can see it one this one though, DAY IN THE SUN: http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/dolls4emma/dayinthesun.jpg Elizabeth ===== ~dolls4emma~ * ORIGINAL DESIGNS * HANDMADE FASHIONS * http://cgi6.ebay.ca/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&us… __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

UPDATES on DOLLS FOR SALE!! FREE SHIPPING!!!! SORRY for the CROSS POST
by doll4man＠webtv.net 13 Aug '02

Hi All, First off sorry for the cross posting!!! Circumstances have made it so I need to sell some dolls, I have the following for sale and would prefer PAYPAL or I will take money orders also, will do checks BUT theres a 10 day waiting period to ship so they clear. TTYS Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) 30 inch Porcelain Princess Diana by Austrailian Doll artist Gwen McNeill, Diana has beautiful blue glass eyes and has a porcelain head shoulder plate, arms up above the elbow and legs above the thigh. Diana comes wearing the Black Serpentine Dress or what has become more well known as the Infamous Divorce Dress, she also features actual high heeled shoes and has her original stand and box and the shipper also, The doll was displayed for a short time and was then put back into her box, This doll originally retailed for around $400 but I will let her go for $195 and FREE SHIPPING!!! This is a REAL BARGAIN since shipping is gonna run about $35 for her since she is so HUGE!! 2) Amethyist Aura Bob Mackie barbie from the Jewel Essence line, she is NRFB, BUT for some reason when I purchased her from a lady on ebay she had no shoes or stand, I can put a pair of shoes with this doll and probably find a stand for her to include, Shes a beauty and I am asking $90 and FREE SHIPPING!!! 3) Sapphire Splendor from the Bob Mackie jewel essence line, This is the beautiful KIRA faced doll and is dressed in the beautiful blue velvet and satin dress! Now this doll was purchased MINT on a liner from a ebay dealer several years ago and has NEVER been removed from it, ALthough once again she never came with her original shoes nor stand, which I can find and include those with her! Since she doesnt have her shoes nor stand I will take $75 for her plus FREE shipping! THANKS GUYS!! TTYS Kevin http://www.CDbK.vze.com http://community.webtv.net/doll4man/CLICKDESIGNSbyKEVIN

Nervous in New Jersey - Help!-
by Karla 09 Aug '02

09 Aug '02

Hi all, I really am a Mother to my 7 year old toy poodle named Giorgio. However, I am a real Grandmother to my stepdaughter's little girl, Emily and I also have alot of nieces and a new nethew . I'm hope I am not going to bore you all to death but there is something I wanted to tell you and mabe get some suggestions. My Stepdaughter Angie, her Husband Dan and Emily live in Utah and I live in New Jersey so it's so hard not to have Emily with my husband and I, especially st the Holidays. Angie is a great step-daughter and she is always sending updated pictures and we talk alot on the phone. But, here's the thing - She is coming to visit this Wednesday (oh My God, that's tomorrow) and we will be with them Tommorow evening and Thursday until about 4:00. I AM A NERVOUS WRECK!! I never had any children so I feel like a fish out of water. I did see her when she was first born at 5 weeks but now she's going to be toddline all over the place now. Tomorrow night we wil will be picking Angie and Emily up from the Airpopt in Philadelphia and going straight to my Sister-In-Laws house for a little familiy reunion which is great ( she is a great hostess and I am not!) and then when we see her on Thursday they will be coming to my house to open Birthday presents (Emily will be 1 on August 10th) and then we are going to brunch! I know I am going to have trouble with conversation, etc, with Angie let alone the Baby!! I really want to enjoy this trip because I cannot get on a plane so I don't know when the next visit will be. Also, my living room is filled with porcelain dolls - some as big as 3 feet tall. They are anchored to the wall but all the other ones - also large enough that I have to have them standing - are just by my window in the living room. Mt friends think I should put the dolls "away" because of the baby coming but once my dolls are situated I don't like to disrupt them - Barbies and Candies are downstairs in their own little world, Any suggestions from you Moms out there on topics of conversation or just suggestions on being a Grandmother. I am concerned about the dolls all over and I don't want to sound like a mean Grandmother saying, no Emily, no if she wants to grab onto one them. My step-daughter is not a doll person at all. This is supposed to be a fun time and I am ruining it with worrying so much! Hope I haven't bored anyone but I would greatly appreciate any info. you can help me with. Karla, Nervous in New Jersey
