Go North!
I didn’t get this lovely doll, but as you know I’m happy with my Rayna, but PetraElise has courteously allowed me to post her deboxed photos here of Go North, the doll using the Isha facemold. She’s just gorgeous and ethereal in her pale pink gown and makeup palette and her light red hair. To see more shots of Go North and from the convention itself, you can check out Elisa’s flickr stream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18504154@N02/ Shank movie dvd Frenzy movie download Watch I Know What I Saw Hercules movie download Download Everymans War movie Watch Broken Lizard Stands Up movie online The Take movie online Take Me Home Tonight...

Read MoreWave From Japan Event
Okay, probably the best displays to be seen were in here! LOVED Ayuki’s display (pictured below) the best. He also did an amazing OOAK Harajuku Misaki for silent auction and it sold for $340! I sooo wanted this girl! She was originally a Traffic Stopper Amelie. Azone was there and gave everyone a cute little outfit! Petworks could not be there, but the exclusive IFDC CCS Momoko’s were on display – in blonde and in red. Really cute! Also for IFDC was an exclusive Usaggie (the cutest rabbit ever! I’m totally getting one if I don’t win the one in the raffle room). Then several Misaki’s were sold through a lottery at super good deals and they sold out fairly fast...
Read MoreRandall Craig Event
Tonight I attended the Randall Craig event which is always so low key and fun. Glasses of wine were flowing and we even participated (by table) in a few rounds of Jeopardy with questions from categories like Fashion Dolls & Randall’s RTW Past Collections. His newest collection is a set of 5 (only 4 are pictured) all done in black, white and grey. The pictured fashions below do not show the accessories (hats/bags) that will come with them. Randall informed us that the collection is held up in customs in Miami, so it limited what we could see tonight and if we order from the collection they will have to be shipped to us. (darn that customs office! don’t they know we NEEEED our fashions!)....

That was the theme of the luncheon today! Lots more costumes, which was fun! I gave out Lalaloopsy’s as table gifts to my tablemates. You know I’m crazy for them, so I had to spread the lalaLOVE! Great table gifts from my tablemates today too and there were 2 Susie centerpieces donated by RandD. Names were placed into a raffe and I won a Susie! Then it was off to the manufacturer’s exhibit to see the Integrity dolls and Sybarites (no photos allowed though) and the IFDC exclusive doll (see my other post for her). We got a sneak peek at Randall Craig’s collection and some of the stuff that will be for sale tomorrow, but still tons of tables still empty, so I can’t wait to see...
Read More“Go West” IFDC Exclusive
Wow! total surprise in the manufacturer’s exhibit today! Integrity showcased an exclusive doll just for IFDC members!!! She is called “Go West” and is Wicked Witch inspired. She uses the old Natalia facemold (the closed mouth one like in Queen of the Hive). Just beautiful in every way! You know who will be in line early for the salesroom tomorrow!! First shot is blurry from my hands shaking in excitement, LOL. I calmed down for a better shot of the boxed doll.

Read MoreIFDC Day 1
Okay everyone! Day 1 completed! Today was a great start to the next couple of dolly-days. Registration went smoothly and I got to meet quite a few new people that I hadn’t met in the past and I love putting faces to names I see on the boards! Then for me it was a nice lunch, massage and mani/pedi, and then back to the room for a nap. I setup today to be my most relaxing day. Then it was off to check out the raffle room (soooo much stuff to see in there!!) and then to dinner. There was not too many costumes tonight, but we usually see the most on the final night. Prizes were given away to the 2 best costumes and my table host/local doll club member/fellow ComicCon’er won! She looked great and...

Read MoreTomorrow IFDC Begins!
I can’t believe that I’m actually driving to Vegas in about 9 hours! For once I waited to the last minute to get ready, LOL. Still need to do some laundry, pack and go to Jimbo’s to pick up some food & snacks! So for our final day the countdown brings us to… CONVENTION & COMPANION DOLLS In years past we’ve seen FR’s, Monograms and then last year we got our first glimpse into the American version of NuFantasy dolls. (Kumi & Yuri are considered Japanese NuFantasy dolls). So what will this year bring? Your guess is as good as mine! Do you think it will be themed again like last year? Or do you think they’ll bring back a Monogram? What about an FR? Or could we...

First let me say “Happy 4th of July” to those in the US! Hope everyone has a nice relaxing day off, enjoys some BBQ, maybe hits the pool or the beach and enjoys an amazing fireworks display tonight! Okay, I can’t believe it’s almost here!!! 2 Days until IFDC!!!!! Today brings us to…. THE SALESROOM! This is one of the great reasons to attend IFDC!
