Finally, it makes sense.
He's proposing to Brunel.
She has rejected him and he's pissed.
Now he can keep the fist for a while.

Enclosure Royale on Sybarite Etiquette
I wasn't going to buy it at first but then I started seeing pictures and hearing reviews of the Superdoll fashion, "Enclosure Royale." The beautiful and easily stand-alone item which is under her skirt is a yellow multi-layered petticoat. I've seen it used as a skirt on it's own. The top, which looks like a blouse is actually a finished jacket - also a stand-alone piece. I love the shoes with their blocky, acrylic heels. Ordinary earrings came with the ensemble. I have her wearing earrings made by an Etsy artist who, sadly, is not putting anything up for sale any longer. Another piece I don't show is a black square with a skull print. She has a walking stick with a silver skull on the top. Lots of mix and match possibilities make for a great purchase!
The full description of "Enclosure Royale" is a few posts back at http://terrigoldphoto.blogspot.com/2014/06/enclosure-royale-fashion-from-superdoll.html.
My model is Etiquette, one of the 2014 PFDF exclusive Sybarites. I'm not sure I'll keep her but if I do, I will remove her wig as I'm not extremely fond of it.

Superdoll New Ensemble "Supernova"
Here's a bit of an update on yesterday's internet bottleneck over at Superdoll. A few people were able to order this new fashion when something went wrong at the dealer's end. Later in the day, it was fixed and we were able to see and purchase this very interesting ensemble called Supernova. Here is the promotional text directly from the website:

Hey Fiends!
Nothing much just sitting here thinking I'd best be telling you about a little something we call: ENIGMA!
yes, they fierce, they competative and of course they all deny any association; no one did nothing.... apparently!
Some had spotlights in their eyes at the time, others were otherwise engaged.
Does it seem like I'm rambling on a bit?
NOT!

Vapore in Love
The more I look at Vapore, the more I like her. Today she is dressed in the outfit called "Love" which I acquired by trading with another collector. The purse is her own.
12/31/2012
2012 - It was a very good year.
In this final 2012 post, I look back over the last 12 months to
find what I've actually kept out of the hordes of dolls and doll items that I purchased.
My doll collecting has changed dramatically over the course of the last two years. I started adding Sybarites and other 16" resin BJDs to my collection and continued thinning my 12" doll army. I've focused more on adding more clothing for all my dolls and filled in a few Tonner dolls, outfits and props that I've wanted. I scored 7 Cholo Ayuyao gowns and dresses. I've switched many of my favorite 'older' dolls to new FR2 bodies.
The biggest mistake purchases were impulse buys consisting of mostly Mattel products, not including Silkstones, although I was disappointed with many of the 2012 Silkies. The Monster Highs and several dressed vinyl Barbies were momentary goodies which added nothing of substance to my collection. I wasted a little money on outfits made by other collectors which did not live up to my expectations. Ultimately, I was surprised at how many dolls I purchased and didn't keep or traded for something else.
Moving was time consuming and very disorienting and I'm just now starting to see a tiny crack of light at the end of a long tunnel.
Instead of posting 'normal' photos of my favorites, I have made Instagram pictures of some of them. Why? Because they're cool, it's fun and I'm bored with normal pictures.
Sybarites and their fashions played a large part in my collection this year.
Vapore:
Domina:
Neurotica: (Redressed/Rewigged) Actually, she's not dressed at all. She is holding the shrug from a gorgeous SybMonde exclusive fashion, Rosa Gloriosa. Wig by Cheryl Wood. I added several of her wigs this year.
Fidele's Fashion. No doll :-( just the outfit-for now.
Venetian modeled by Toxica.
Speed modeled by Talc. It's an older fashion but new for me.
JamieShow
JamieShow Alejandro and the Jamieshow outfit from the Prohibition Event in Canandaigua. He is my first and only male resin BJD and definitely a keeper.
Tonner
Tonner's new Precarious sculpt and fashions designed for her were big hits IMO. I purchased two of the dolls and several of the outfits.
Ficon
That's it for the big dolls. It feels like there should be more because all of my Tonner's were the first dolls to be packed along with my Gene Marshall dolls. They were packed for almost one year by the time I was able to get them back out of their boxes and into showcases. Many seem new to me all over again. I can stare at the dolls and love each and every one of them. Unloved dolls find new homes.
Integrity Toys' Fashion Royalty, FR2
This is a little more complicated to show as I added very few complete dolls this year from IT's lineups. I kept more fashions than dolls. I even purchased an older Vanessa NRFB so I could have an unaltered version.
I may have mentioned previously that there seems to be a disconnect in
the design team. By that I mean that someone in there is a really bad
designer and that would be the person that designed most of the recent
convention's outfits. That was the worst collection I've ever seen.
However, during the year there were some gorgeous fashions worthy of the
name Fashion Royalty.
I liked both of the convention's FR2 dolls but Dasha's outfit was less than stellar. Elise was totally gorgeous.
Of the other three FR2 dolls released in 2012, it was mainly the fashions that interested me.
Tatyana's red dress.
I finally broke down (like that's difficult) and purchased Opium Ayumi. Her outfit looks better in person than in pictures.
My favorite fashions all year were Main Attitude Adele Makeda's suit
Your Kind of Model Kesenia's outfit
Monogram Admiration's suit
My favorite dressed Monogram was Allure
From the Victoire Roux line, I kept only the outfit from Place Vendome. Vanesssa looks stunning in it.
These outfits are keepers. Now if I could find the perfect male doll to wear them. These four photos are all Integrity Toys' images.
Silkstone "Walking Suit" was my favorite new Silkie.
Favorite new prop is Byers' Choice Caroler Display Accessory.
There is more but you are probably snoring already.
Companies have to stop going backwards with the quality and appearance of their products. When this happens, the perceived value drops and collectors will search out other items.
