Susie @ IFDC 2014

As with the last few years, a few One Of A Kind Susie dolls will be presented and donated to this year's IFDC Auction - the collection is called "Gems of the Red Carpet." This year's IFDC in Las Vegas is happening July 9th thru July 12th.

These Gems are from the collaborative efforts of some of the talented designer/ members of PNN and R&D. PNN as most of you know stands for Pinoy Na Nagmamanyika (Filipino Doll Collectors).

We, at R&D, are especially happy and Thankful for the efforts and support, year after year, of these talented members in donating their time and talents to bring some really beautiful OOAK Susie dolls to IFDC attendees.

Engaging Emerald Susie

VaVaVavoom!!!

Also coming back for the second year in a row is the talented Pole Thor - his creation oozes so much sexiness, one can't help but be hypnotized by her.

Sensational Citrine Susie

New to the roster is the talented Lonix from The House of Kivan. Am sure you will all agree with me in saying that Lonix's creation is truly Susie-sational in every way.

A Special Thank You to Cholo Ayuyao of Cho:lo Couture for the beautiful packaging and photographing the collection.

P.N.N. X R&D for Typhoon Haiyan Charity

Biiiig Thanks and Gratitude I give my talented friends at P.N.N. - the dolly group I am proud to be a part of in the Philippines.... Truly a bunch of nice people who loves their hobby so much and are extremely nice and warm people who believes in SHARING and GIVING BACK - something I have always adhere to and have been happily doing so - doing what I can, anyway.

This Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction Sale would not be complete without the efforts of these creative, and super talented members! Actually, even in my initial thoughts about how to do this Charity Event - they have been in mind - as I always know I can count on them for their support and kindness... and here we are, with some of the most Stunning, Unique, Lovely, & Whimsical One Of A Kind Offerings - all to Benefit the Haiyan Typhoon Victims.

Most of these talents below you all pretty much have heard of on the Internet: Facebook, Dolly Boards, eBay, etc... Their creations have WOWED so many of us - both locally and internationally... and some of you have had the pleasure of seeing and owning their creations through my collaborations with them for the IFDC Charity Events the past few years.

"Muted Saccharine"

OOAK Susie Doll by Anj Calvo

"It's a confection for the eyes with a vintage heirloom feel of the crochet laced embellished with sugary micro beads with a hint of caramel colored tiger-eyed beads to give the pastel colored frock some texture.

Here face is hand painted and sealed with the finest acrylic and dashed with freckles to give an quirk on her angelic stare."
