Integrity Dolls

My 2014 "Must Have" Calendars!

If you are not already following The Art Of The Doll - Photography By Sharon Wright on Facebook, it is totally worth the occasional headaches of being Facebook's advertising audience and marketing reaseach pool to do so.  :D  She creates magic with her photos, bringing dolls to life in a way other photographers don't match.   She has a unique eye, and you will swear the dolls in her photos are strolling down the street shopping, skipping rope, or performing ballet.

And this year she is making some of her fantastic prints available in a calender for 2014.  One she is devoting entirely to the Integrity doll line, including photos of one of my favorites, Poppy Parker.

However, the one I must have is her "Toys" version.  It features the first picture of hers I saw, showing Monster High dolls playing "keep away" with one of their heads.  That photo started me following her, and is still one of my favorites.

But you need to check out January and November.  A little blue fox Binky Boo she purchased from me a few months ago is featured on those months.  I still find myself grinning when I see the little guy "in action"!

For $17.00 plus shipping ($6-$17 depending on the method you choose), I think either of these calendars (or both!) would be the perfect gift for the doll and toy lover in your life.  I already shamelessly pleaded for the Toys version for Xmas.  If you order today (Dec 11, 2013), you could still use the least expensive shipping and get it in time for Xmas.  *hint! hint!* :D

I'll admit I did a lot of jumping up and down in excitement when I got the message from the artist herself about the Toys calendar yesterday evening!  (Fortunately the curtains were drawn, so only my cats had to bear witness.  :D )

Thank you so much to Sharon Marie Wright for featuring my work in your Toys calendar!  I'm thrilled beyond words, honored, and very grateful for all your support.  I can't wait to see what you come up with in 2014 and beyond!

Integrity Buenos Aires Victoire Roux Doll!

Just some quick photos of my new doll, an exclusive from Integrity, the Buenos Aires Victoire Roux doll.  I won a spot in the lottery for the chance to purchase her.  For the price point of $99 plus shipping, at least on first glance, I'm impressed!

The blue eyeshadow I admit is off putting at first, but I really think it is because of her light colored outfit.  I plan to redress her in something with dark tones.  I bet she will look fantastic in a classic "little black dress".

I haven't fully examined her yet since work has been so busy, and left me so tired each evening this week, but I hope to do a more thorough exam and photo shoot with her this weekend.

For now, here are a few shots of her still in the box.
