Dear Ms. Hamilton,

It has come to my attention that Paul David is spreading rumors about the demise of Integrity Candi dolls. I would like to see some clarification to this matter from you, if possible. I have been an avid collector of Candi, and was most pleased to see you join forces with Integrity to create new, lovely Candi dolls. Integrity has certainly done your doll justice, im my opinion, and has opened up more collectors to your Candi doll than ever before. I think that is obvious. http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/dolls/messages/153682.html If the rumor is true, then sadly, I will not be buying any more Candis, as I find the Mikelman paints too harsh and usually making the doll look gaudy. Also I am sad to see Paul David market your dolls in such a way that they quickly lose market value, for example, I had purchased the Bettie Page dolls at retail and he now has them for $24. Do we really want to see Candi as a cheap, play doll like his Charice doll? Thank you for your time, and I hope that you will be able to shed some light to this matter. I just think that your concept/creation deserves a better future.

Sincerely, Rene O'Brien

p.s. I am forwarding this also to Candi chat, of which i am a part of.
