is it even possible to ENVY a doll???

Of Course, IT IS!!!

and here's one of those times...

Long been an admirer of my very good friend, Michelle's, PHOTOGRAPHY PROWESS -- one look at these selected photos and you too, will be envious of SYBERITE dolls... from the get go, Michelle's photos have been admired and raved on by many doll lovers, myself included... Heck, I even bought myself a SYB doll all because of my admiration for Michelle's photos....

Her photo styling rivals those one sees in GLOSSY FASHION magazines... the shots ranges from AVANT-GUARD to very HIGH FASHION... just like a real model posing for a well known fashion photographer -- think any of the SUPER MODELS posing for Steven Meisel, Herb Ritts or Annie Lebowitz. It is one of those MAGICAL things when Artist and Subject just TRULY CLICK and INSPIRE one another... More Photographs of the SYBs by Michelle to Admire (& ENVY!)Here

No Exaggeration wears an ultra modern pantsuit with chic harem pants and a fitted blazer creating a gorgeous silhouette, with a burst of accent color from her embellished mesh top. A feathered hat and mile-high open-toed t-strap platform shoes make this gal fashionable from head to toe...literally. The doll also comes with dramatic air-brushed makeup as well as a chocolate brown wig gathered in a low ponytail, two sets of hands, two sets of feet and stud earrings, making her the envy of all, No Exaggeration.===================================

these photos made me SMILE today!!!

was just checking out one of my dear friend and fellow collector's, Blue, FLICKR photos as I know how she LOVES taking the dolls out as soon as she gets them and photographing them... making them all come alive... anyway, her recent UPLOADS of Back to Basics momoko pair is just lovely to look at... and they really cracked me up how she had R&D Exclusive momoko from a few years back greet them upon their arrival... simply put a smile on my face.... I LOVE THEM! Just have to SHARE with you all..Back To Basics Duo
and she SWEETLY reminded me of this momoko article I wrote for HAUTE DOLL magazine a few years back.

Thanks for making me smile, Blue!!!

Poppy Parker

New York City is just a couple-hour plane flight from the Midwest, but for 1960s teenager Poppy Parker, it might as well be in a different universe. She has traded hanging at the local malt shop and school dances for the glamorous life of a teenage fashion model in the Big Apple!

You can take a girl out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the girl. Under her fashionable hair, perfect makeup and fancy couture clothes, Poppy is just a simple girl. Will she be able to dazzle the city that never sleeps? So far, the answer is "yes"!

The Poppy Parker doll uses a brand-new custom sculpt with a molded eyelash ridge. Her body uses the FR: Nippon Misaki body with articulated wrists and ankles.

SEEING RED!!!

Finally, the much awaited shipments have started trickling in... first up DANIA ZARR: RED ZINGER!!! She is RED HOT and SIZZLING!!!
We will be sending out notifications to those of you with deposits... plus we do have about 3 pcs unspoken for - for any of you who has not gotten her yet... Just Drop Us A Line!

feelin' fierce jett - better late than never

Our allocation came in a little late - but indeed, this is where the "better late than never" saying applies rather well....Jett, is also channeling her inner 'fierceness' with her white skinny pants, black blouse and belted silver trench. Jackie-O sunglasses, a fabulous pink beret and coordinating shoulder bag and heels complete the look.
