are you still collecting dolls? I have slowed way down because things got out of hand & also I have no room. Still not ready to give them up tho . A friend sold her dolls a few years ago just as the market was beginning to drop for Barbie...I'd never recoup what I paid for my Barbies. Also Still have all my Candi dolls & a few Jason Wu such as this Chic Escape, before they got so expensive Pat H. On May 18, 2007, at 5:30 PM, Mary Westmoreland wrote: > Wow.

Hi from Weaver

Hi Pat, It's good to hear from you again. I think most of us are still "around" to one degree or another, but when Candi tanked, so did the "chat". I still love my Candi dolls and wouldn't trade them for anything. She sure had a volatile, albeit short, life! I'm thrilled to see Jason and Randall doing so well, aren't you? Who would've known 'way back when. Remember when Jason got his driver's license? LOL. Money has kept me from continuing to collect. I pick up a doll once in a while if it's a really good bargain, but active collecting is out of my league. I still lust after Fashion Royalty and I agree with you about the Monsieur Z line. Just not my taste, I guess. I love the detail in the FR outfits and accessories. Amazing. Who else is still "here"?

Where's Kert?
by Rlt46gem＠aol.com 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hi Everybody, Does anyone know where Kert Hoogterp is? I may have spelled his last name wrong, but it was something like that. He did beautiful fantasy OOAKs and then left "dolling" to get a regular job. He and his partner Jon had adopted a little girl with some problems and they were doing really well with her. We stayed in touch for quite a while, then my life interfered and I lost touch. When I tried to email him again, it bounced back and I haven't been able to find him since then. I think he was more active on the old Mikelfan list. Any help?

Re: [CandiChat]: daily digest (#602)
by Dorothy Hatch 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hi, I'm still around. Getting very few dolls. Was surprised to see the candi digest coming to me again. I don't know how to get myself off the list. Was under some other email address. I went to the convention for Gene under Jason Wu, but do not know why, except I had nothing else to do at that time. Good to hear from you people again and therefore glad I couldn't get off the list.

>>> Wasn't Jason just 17 when he started out? Pat Hawkins from Al. Hi everybody! Well... no Candi = no Candi chatting, I guess. I miss everyone. All the doll lists seem very quiet. Wasn't Jason younger than that? I remember when he got his driver's license. I'm so happy for both Jason and Randall. Our "kids" done good. I'm looking for a couple of folks from the old Mikelfan list: Kert Hoogterp Erika / rikitoo Does anyone know where they are? Kert and his partner had just adopted a little girl with some problems and were doing really well with her. I managed to lose touch and wonder how they are doing. Erika was just a really cool person (aren't we all?!!) and I lost track of her, too.

About the only place I ever see Integrity play dolls is at Walmart,,,& it depends on which one I go to as all dont' seem to carry the same thing. I went to Target & found one little spider Kelly, I dont want the witch as they've put out so many of them, or the orange haired pumpkin Kelly but I would like to find the lil mummy which I think is Tommy Pat Hawkins On Sep 20, 2006, at 7:33 AM, Melissa & Eugene Bradford wrote: > Great picture, Kathy! > My!

Jason Wu
by John Hawkins 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

I just read today's (Mon. Sept. 18) USA Today's paper ...,on P. 20 of the Life section is a pic. of a model in a dress designed by Jason Wu. A short white dress with black details which he says was inspired by 'vintage Hollywood glamour shots of a young Liz Taylor". now go here to see his collection for real woman...it's nice!!!!, there's a video too & he continues to use his big W logo http:// www.olympusfashionweek.com/fall2006/designers/jason_wu/ then in ELLE mag. http://www.elle.com/collections/8156/fall-2006- ready-to-wear-jason-wu-collections.html this site has a slide show of his dresses & show them better...I can't help think that some would look best on dolls..this site also tells how he designs dolls ( but 'hip' dolls they point out) http://www.style.com/fashionshows/ collections/S2007RTW/review/JASONWU here's his dress design site http://www.thewstudio.com/ I hope there are some still out there to see this Pat Hawkins
