Fellow collector and friend, Maureen (Mo in PA,) dropped in yesterday with her Kinsman Garrick Doll. We spent some time in my studio comparing and photographing them.
Kinsman dolls are a welcome addition to the hi-end, realistic male BJD world.
Maureen also brought along one of the earliest versions of Milou who got into the action, possibly against her will.
I posted this photo on Prego and asked for captions. They were all clever but the ones that had me laughing were:
—She yearned for more, but she just didn't have the guts. - Jackie_NJ
—"come on baby, light my wire" - URIAH
—I told her those crash diets are just no good for you... would she listen ... - Karen in New Zealand
News, reviews and photographs of Modern Fashion Dolls including Kingdom Doll, Fashion Royalty, Sybarite, Tonner Doll, Gene Marshall, Barbie and my own experiences as a doll collector.

Dolls With Updos by Angela in Canada
This week's theme on Prego is 'Dolls with Short Hair or an Updo.' So many gorgeous illustrations of this theme have been posted.
Angela in Canada's gals blew my mind. While I'm not a fan of all the Deva female sculpts, I can certainly appreciate the beauty of the face-ups, the unbelievable wigs and the gorgeous fashions. These dolls are perfection. Angela's portrait photography has captured these models in all their glory!

Not Just For American Girl Dolls Anymore
The very popular adolescent line of American Girl dolls offers accessories, furniture pieces and room settings which fashion doll collectors are going crazy over. As it turns out, these items which are made for the 18" American Girls actually work better with our 16" dolls!
First up is a shop called Grace's French Bakery which retails for a whopping $500. Prego member, Johanna, posted many pictures or her insanely fantastic collection which includes the La Patisserie and Grace's Pastry Cart ($150) with her dolls. If you look carefully, you will see Gene Marshall chairs and tables in the setting! It's perfect.
Johanna also showed us Samantha's Ice Cream Parlor ($300) being visited by her Tonner Patience dolls.
Mike (laughon45) posted the following three rooms. He, like Johanna, has added other 1/4 scale furniture to enhance these American Girl rooms. All of the dolls he used in these settings are Kingdom Dolls.
Isabelle's Studio ($275) That's quite a transformation. I love it.
Caroline's Parlor ($300.) I want this one!
Juies Bed & Bedding ($125.) and Julie's Egg Chair Set ($100)
As if the Egg Chair weren't adorable enough, it is actually equipped with stereo speakers. You plug a cable from the chair into your own music source and your doll can enjoy.
Some retired American Girl pieces can be found on Amazon.com and on eBay. Some sellers will say "fits American doll" when it's not genuine American Doll. It that matters to you, be aware.

Kingdom Doll's Brigantia
Buyers of Brigantia, Kingdom Doll's latest release and the second sculpt in the line, have begun to post photos. I found these two by Laurie Lenz to be particularly striking.
You can see more photos of this gorgeous doll and so much more on Prego.http://members5.boardhost.com/prego/

A Formal Introduction
This past week on Prego, members have been posting personal introductions. It's fascinating to get background information and see pictures of other collectors. It also strengthens the community. I love it.
I had time today to post one of my own. If you would like to read it, here is the link.

Check out Dave's Miss Gene Marshall and Her Hollywood Friends blog for more fabulous photographs and information on the dolls pictured there. Dave's dolls include more than Gene. He also features many of Tonner's and Integrity Toy's dolls who are meant to represent movie stars.
