What a soap opera!
Isn't that the truth. I wasn't going to chime in on this one but I can't resist. I was a Candi collector since Mikelman was designing for the line (the first time around). There has been such an unbelievable amount of drama with Candi since those days. I remember the first chapter when a lot of collectors were turned off by Helena and they sold their Candi dolls. At that point I thought it was silly to sell your Candi dolls just because of the creator's bad business ethics. A few chapters later I was very disgusted and sold most of my Candi dolls just because I was tired of all the drama related to the name. And at that time I had a large Candi collection. I kept a few but I haven't bought any since. Don't get me wrong, I think that Integrity/Jason Wu have done some fabulous Candi dolls, the best to date .... but I decided to close off that part of my collection and have never went back to it ever since. I would currently like to just focus on my Silkstones and Fashion Royalty (although to be more realistic it would be anything by Jason Wu and not just FR, LOL).
How much drama does one really need in their life?
