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.

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.

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."

Haiyan Typhoon Charity Auction & Sale

Most, if not all, of you am sure are aware of the recent tragedy that is Typhoon Yolanda, or Haiyan Typhoon, as more commonly known in the West.  Said to be the worst ever Typhoon in the history to date, it struck the Philippines and left over 7,000 people dead ( with many more unaccounted for) and left millions of people with Nothing!  And I mean Nothing!  No houses, no clothing, no food, no livelihood...  Thanks to those who sent aid fast - from all over the world - people are getting some much needed help...  But as we know with something as devastating as this - much more Aid will be Needed for some time to come.

We, at R&D Collectibles, decided to do our share - and with the help of our many dolly friends worldwide - we will hold a Typhoon Haiyan Charity Auction / Sale come middle of December.  Now, we know that it means everyone will be in the midst of their Holiday preparations and Celebrations - but we do hope that you will take the time to look through and purchase something for a love one, family, friends or even for yourself!  It will just give your Dolly purchase a bit more meaning, knowing that your $$$ will help the victims of Haiyan Typhoon.

Donations are coming in from friends all over the world...  And they are all exciting and worthy of being added to your collections.  We've got dolls galore:  FR Alysa from the recent Integrity Convention Donated by the Vintage Goddess and a couple of Vintage Gene Dolls from Franklin Lim Liao - all dolls are in the USA; a very pretty Darla Daley with enhanced make up is donated by Danny Collectible from Thailand; and all the way from Spain, we are happy to get the breathtaking "Madrid Premier Beauty Barbie" - she comes to us from the Great Folks of Madrid Fashion Doll Club... 

We will also have a few OOAK dolls donated by some of the Great talents  from the Philippine doll group, PNN (Cho:lo, The House of Garcia, Pole Thor, Anj Calvo, Marc Vandro, to name a few...)  - most of you already know them online, and from my collaborative work with them for the past few IFDC Conventions - so those will be truly exciting to look forward to...; And we are truly hoping to bring you many more...  All in hopes of being able to do and give what we can for the Victims.

I hope to have the page up by the 15th of December...  And hope that we can have the Sale/Auction completed by the 30th...  Giving everyone a couple of weeks to peruse and do your share.

As I have done in my  previous Fundraisers, all monies collected will be donated to the Red Cross and UNICEF, for the Typhoon Victims, two of the most trustworthy organizations - am sure you would agree.  

So please stay tuned...  mark your calendars and spread the word...  Together we can all make a difference...  Happy Holidays!!!

 

===========================

PLS NOTE:  There is still time to DONATE a Doll or Two....  NRFB, MIB, LOOSE, PRE-LOVED - all are WELCOME...   ...accepting donations for the Auction and Sale till the 6th of December.

===============================

"It has been a tradition of RND Dolls and Susie to collaborate with the talented doll artists of PNN or Pinoy na Nagmamanyika for the annual International Fashion Doll Convention and come up with OOAK Susies for the charity auctions. For this year, in continuum with the theme Shake, Rattle N Roll, Rock and Roll Through the Eras, and the 10th anniversary of IFDC, RnD Susie and PNN came up with 5 OOAK Susies, Representing the eras of rock and roll. From the still well dressed and well coiffed 50's to the glamazonian leather clad rock goddesses of the 90's, Rock Disco of the 70's, rockin' flower power of the 60's and the hodgepodge of styles and unconventionality of the 80's, Susie was transformed over and over again to emulate the eras of rock and roll. Spearheaded by PNN's head, Matto 50's, Marc Vandro 60's, Noel Calma 70's, Pole Thor 80's and Cho:lo 90's, each doll artist went on with the challenge and translated Susie's versatility in whatever Era."
