WClub: ITBE lingerie dolls...

 WClub ITBE Lingerie Dolls

The ITBE Line is the first to be announced. They went ahead with a lingerie theme this time. These are more expensive then last years, Im not sure why...maybe price increases. They also have the older body, which doesnt really bother me. There was 6 girls this time. This is a lottery, so I entered for Audacious, Dark Side, and My Desire. Apparently Audacious has a new sculp named Finley Prince. I do like also the twist with the skin tones as well, just nice to see some more characters not in their traditional coloring. Heres keeping my fingers crossed. I think at the most I hope to get the new girl.

Pickups/Arrivals: Look what I found...

So my Anja came in. I had a picture of her with all her stuff, but something happened with my card and I think it might be lost :< Anyways....She arrived and shes just beautiful. Im not sure still about the lip change on her and getting her out of the box her hair is just going to need some help. I love her details and everything.

So I was out with Heather and Amy and stumbled upon these guys. Honestly their trolls XD but I have a weakness for creatures with down pointing ears..they have really fantastic box art and theres 3 different sizes. The first are tiny little ones that come in pots, and their like the blind bags. Then theres the medium ones which were the ones I got, and theres a large size. I dont like this size because it looks a lot less like the artwork. Its something about not increasing their eye size like they should have.

And since Heather posted her Chiikas...I thought I would post mine together as well. I have the Witch of Heart original & 1.0 version. I like the 1.5 version as well, but I really wished they had changed the actual outfit color, not just making it white.

Update: Integrity WClub Webinar #2

So last weekend there was the second WClub webinar for the new collections. There was 3 of them released this time. I'm not going to really go into anything about the Jem dolls. I honestly cannot ever remember watching this show or not, and while their interesting, I wasnt looking forward to seeing yet another Jem like released in this webinar. I have a Color Infusion that uses the same body, so I might end up hunting down some Jem shoes, but other than that, Im just going to look this over.

I was hoping for this collection to be a little different then what I kept seeing with the Poppy Parkers. Im not into the 50-60 era look. I did preorder the "The Young Sophisticate" Poppy because the more I looked at her coat and dress I wasnt seeing this and someone pointed out the dress looked like a target dress so Im going to bring her home.

Left to Right: Irresistible in India, Spicy in Spain, Sweet in Switzerland, Pretty in Polynesia, & Joyful in Japan

While I will agree...these dolls do like "Barbie's of the World"...there are a couple things I really like. For one the only doll I preordered was India. First she had the Bergdorf Goodman screening that I have come to love so much, and I dont have a nice tan Poppy. Im not sure about the dress. Its really lovely, but I might not keep it. Spain was just a kinda miss...I like her cat eye shape, but the rest was just lost to me. Switzerland was cute, but I already have a redhead poppy from the workshop so I passed. I dont really like the screening on the Polynesia, but I love her necklace and sandals so Ill find those later. My last dilemma was Japan. I loved her kimono but wished she had sandals and dark hair...even a nice dark brown would have been nice. Not blond. I really like this new screening they used on her, though her lip color needs to be a different color. Maybe later they will do something again like it, so I passed on her.

The next collection was the "classic" collection with them looking back at the dolls before and incorporating it into this line. Retro but modern. Im really actually kinda getting sick of this, but to each its own. I know everyone has their styles and tastes, its just not for me.

Left to right: Nostalgia Dania Zarr, Splendid Jordon, Captivating Anja, Ambitious Kesenia, & Polished Korinne

I didnt choose any of these girls. Dania - Again the high ponytail with swept tucked in bangs. I already have girls with this hair style...I dont want another. Her makeup was very well done though. Jordon - Actually has some really lovely makeup for her skintone. I liked her necklace so much but again as a whole there wasnt anything that make be need her. Anja - I dont like the hairstyle, I feel she really needed some kinda of stonger lipstick or something. The dress is pretty, but plain and I hate the fringe they used on the bow...it just makes me crazy. Im always afraid I'll unravel stuff like that. Kenenia - Again nothing really drawing me to her. I do utterly love they used a darker color on the inside of her mouth to accent the part of the lips and her teeth. Her hair is pretty but eh, and I really just feel its lacking in something in the outfit...it feels too bulky to me with the shape of the coat/dress. Korinne - I love the blouse...I have one of those skirts and again her makeup was ok, but nothing really drawing me in. I felt a few of them the upper lash they drew was just way way too long for the eye. I can understand where the vibes coming from, but nothing really made me need to bring anyone home from this. I am curious to see whats to come later on.

The only other doll that I did end up preordering was the Event doll. I was a little bit shocked it was another Dania in the same webinar...I kinda wish it was a different one and then like having her at the next one to kinda switch it up. I think thats really my only complaint about it.

I find this funny that after I told myself no more tan girls (I brought so many home and then didnt have characters for them that I had to let them go) Im bring home 2 tan ones...haha! This Dania does remind me alot of the Optic Class Dania. Im not really a fan of pop collars, but this all really works well. I always love some red and black so that's something that can never go wrong. Again theres the rose necklace, but in a different color which I really like alot more. I love the purse and shoes. Everything for her goes so well together. I can wait to have her home and hanging out with my Obsidian Vanessa. Those will be some fierce ladies XD

2012 Tropicalia Fashion Paradise Convention

So this weekend has come and gone. I got to spend time with tabby, we ended up going to the ren faire like we always do. This time I didnt actually buy anything but thats alright. I like going and looking at everything. 

This was the first convention I got to get involved with as far as I had gotten on PetraElise's list and she was helping me get dolls that I wanted from this years collection. I have to say shes a wonderful person to deal with and I pretty much lucked out on getting everything I wanted.

First off, I am superglad I have put a curb on my collection of tan girls right now. I had said I needed to give the girls I have now shells before I would bring anyone else back home. So a vast majority of these girls ended up being tan -WOO!- that saves my pocket. 

I picked up Lady in Red Erin, Color Infusion C, Workshop Poppy Parker, Color Infusion N, Tattoo Fransisco & Vanessa

Color Infusion Lab

So as you all know once i heard there was a new body I wanted to grab one, so I managed to get the platinum blonde girl which I think is C. They are all by letters for who they are. I got the Color Experiment 2 clothes pictured there on the left, and then after seeing there was a blond boy, I picked him up from someone selling him at a good price. So I am happy with these. The only thing is i thought i picked the more tamer of the outfits, but its a halter and shorts under a sheer dress. Everything was so bright and the colors....oh the colors XD

- This is Vanessa No. 3 i believe as far as her mold. I am loving it. I love the Vanessa's mouth so much and she captures this, so I did pick up one of her. Im not sure if her lipstick will stay that color though. -
