Most of you know that IFDC has a SPECIAL PLACE in our hearts - for many reasons: not just because Jim Faraone, the one who year after year, manages to make the convention even more fun, exciting, and a treat to all attendees...; not just because it is a GREAT EXCUSE to see dolly friends from different parts of the dolly world, and get to meet a few new ones; not just because at IFDC, one gets to see & enjoy a wide array of dolly offerings from talents all over the world; ..but it is also mainly because , IFDC, is the BIRTHPLACE of Susie -- the place where she made her first entrance way back at the very first IFDC, back in 2003.
That was actually quite a TRIP, looking back - somehow, we manage to make a show with nothing but a few prototype sample heads and a couple of bodies, and a biiig support push from some of the BEST and SWEETEST people in the dolly world, whom am very PROUD to call our FRIENDS.
So in honor of 2009's IFDC the end of this week - thought it would be fun to take a trip back, and share with you a few of our FAVE SHOTS from IFDC pasts we were fortunate enough to attend:-IFDC I 2003 - Still Uploading
-IFDC III 2005 - Still Uploading
-IFDC IV 2006
-IFDC V 2007
That was actually quite a TRIP, looking back - somehow, we manage to make a show with nothing but a few prototype sample heads and a couple of bodies, and a biiig support push from some of the BEST and SWEETEST people in the dolly world, whom am very PROUD to call our FRIENDS.
Thanks, Rudi, for providing these links and for the reminder that collector favorite, Susie, came from IFDC 2003. I'm going to check back to see the photos later this week. Nice to have them available especially for those who have YET to attend an IFDC.
ReplyDeleteSuzie has come a long way. I wish Suzie and R&D continued success. ^_^
