The bubbles are curly rather than smooth. If the black haired bubble had lavender eyes, the look would be real Elizabeth Taylor, imo. I'm among the customizing imparied but someone with talent should be able to repaint these into a real Liz look alike.

If one sees a resemblance to Candi in these dolls it doesnt really surprise me, since Sandra sculpted the Candi heads. It's not only the heads on these dolls that are sculpted so well, the body is too. The dolls actually have, hmm, err, nipples(hope that doesn't offend anyone!), as well as clavicles, rib cage and shoulder blades. The detailing is awesome. Told you that I am smitten, :-D!

I hope you do get to meet someone from the list there, Melissa. We know how much fun that is! I will be closed from 8/24/01 through 9/3/01 for vacation. It is our annual dive trip and this year we are going to be scuba diving off the Venezuelan coast. No phones, tv etc., just a whole lot of peace and quiet. I've never been to this part of the world, so I am really excited about the trip. I finally finished phtographing the Butterfly Ring dolls this morning and getting a page for them up on the site. The direct link for your convenience is http://members.aol.com/suzw397026/butterflyring.htm I am still completely smitten with these dolls. They are absolutely beautiful. Thanks!

Re: CandiChat - Vintage swimsuits and International info

I wanted to let you know that dealers have been notified that the first container of the International dolls is scheduled to arrive in the country 8/27/01. After they are received at the Integrity warehouse and checked, they will begin shipping to dealers, reconfirming their arrival into dealer's hands should still be on target for the first week of September. We were also officially notified that the AA doll has sold out and will not be available for reorder. That's one popular lady! I also put up pics of the swimsuits that the boxed Vintage dolls will be wearing on the site, if you would like to take a look. The Vintage dolls will also be available from dealers that first week in September. The new Holiday Toast Hispanic is featured in the Integrity ad in the new Barbie Bazaar. Guess they sent the pic before the hairstyle was changed to the slightly shorter flip but she still looks gorgeous. Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

Thanks Joan. I am glad you enjoyed the pics although I don't feel that I completely succeeded in capturing the beauty of these dolls. These sculpts are truly amazing. BTW, I just updated my links page to include Joan's site. If you haven't had a chance to admire her custom dolls yet, I hope you will take a look. Love your dolls, Joan! I also added the site of a customizer in England that I recently had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with. I think you will enjoy seeing her dolls, too. Also added Juan Albuerne's site since we talked about him not all that long ago. Hope that you enjoy all of the new links!

BMAA???

I received my Barbie Bazaar magazine yesterday and was very disappointed that they did not put pictures of the winning dolls in the issue. There was mention of them towards the back of the magazine but just in text. This was also the first time they did not print on the cover that the winners were in the issue. There is also no mention of where they are in the table of contents so if you are looking they are on page 72. There was also a big error in the text part. The winner of the Reader's Choice Award this year was Kert Hoogstraat M-17 and then they went on to say Kert also won this award last year? NOT!!!! Jenn Scully won Reader's Choice Award last year. There was also no mention of a contest in the future. Is this something Barbie Bazaar is trying to faze out? We will have to wait and see.

Hi All, Just love the holiday toast dolls. I ordered the Asian one with out even seeing the pics because Suzannes said she was the doll wearing the Femme Fatale suit in magazine ad, but now that I see the pictures I like them even more. Neat dress. Don't know why I have a soft spot for bubble dresses. LOL I am just so thrilled to be seeing new Candis. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO
