FDQ ruruko coverage...

Last week, I was soooo thrilled to finally receive my copy of Fashion Doll Quarterly's Spring 2014 Issue...  Very Much anticipated by me for a couple of reasons:  

1. It has been a while since I got a Doll magazine of any sort..,  most updates I get are basically from Facebook..  Having one on hand is Truly a Treat!!!

2. My intro article for Petworks' newest cutie: "ruruko, a Peach of a Doll!" is in this issue...  Been a while since i have written articles in Dolly / Toy magazines - so contributing this was Fun!  And extra special as I am already a big fan of ruruko!

Be sure to pick up your copy..  As always, FDQ is jam packed with news of some really FAB dolls,  cool articles and even cooler dolly photos!!  Kudos to our dear friend Pat Henry and Company!

DOLLYSTYLE Convention Coverage in Taiwan

Over the weekend, I spent quite some time at the local bookstore in Taipei, Eslite Books, with a wide selection of books and magazines - not just locally but also internationally... and of course, much of my time was spent in the TOY & Hobby section perusing through the various Dolls & Toy Magazines...

While perusing Toy Garage #14 - I was delighted to see a 2 page coverage of the recent Dolly Style Convention in Japan... it was thrilling for me as I was not able to attend the convention... even more thrilling as in the photos I was able to see friends in the convention snapshots... was great to see Denise Travers and her SALES ROOM, Freddy Tan & his lovely creations, Franklin Lim Liao disguised as Misaki, and Integrity's President Percy Newsum....

So it matters not, that I could not read the Chinese write up, seeing the photos was wonderful enough - like almost being there... like seeing friends again.... TRULY, A NICE SURPRISE!
