Re: 2002 Exclusive and Beth Owens (was Mandarin Chic Jades are now Sold Out)

I would love to give hints but don't have final counter samples yet. Either Jason or myself have changed or tweaked each sample, LOL! Here's a couple of teasers: 1. This theme has never been used for a Candi doll before and 2. What is being done with the head mold selected for use has never been done before. That's all I can say for now, LOL! As to writing Beth Owens, I can't endorse this idea. She was highly offended by another dealer, who at one time was the distributor for Candi. It was a most unpleasant event for her and I'm afraid left her with a bitter taste in her mouth towards our beloved Candi. I wouldn't want to remind her of such unpleasantness. If the time comes that she can disassociate the doll with the protagonist of this event, I'm sure she will do an article of her own accord.

Any hints as to what's in store for us in 2002? LOL. I think it's a great idea for Barbie Bazaar to cover Candi, Candi deserves a decent coverage! Boy I can't remember when the last time was that I read a good Candi article....it was back in the days of Millers with that article by Beth Owens. ON THE SUBJECT OF Beth Owens, it seems she visits the Vicky doll board as well and she did posted her email address there. She is now the fashion doll writer for Doll Reader so I took the chance to write her too about covering Candi!!! LOL can you tell I love this doll? Here is her addy in case you want to write too: BethanyOwens(a)aol.com >>

The Mandarin Chic Jades have sold out. I hope that all of you who got one enjoy them through the years. A BIG thank you to all who purchased one! Producing this exclusive put butterflies in my stomach but her warm reception by collectors gave me the courage to put the second exclusive doll on the drawing board, as well as to start the joint venture to co-produce the Winter Mist fashion. Jason, Katy's, Integrity and myself will continue to work to bring you dolls and fashions that will be really special additions to your collections. Thank YOU for your support!!!!

Re: O.T. - Pass The Love

I thought these words appropriate for not only the holidays but throughout the year. What better gift could one human being offer another? Pass The Love Someone taught you how to love, and probably didn't know it. And in return, with every day, It's now your turn to show it. When you love, you give a gift, And when you're gone it stays To be passed on by the ones you loved To make some one else's day. So remember someone who loved you, And show how much you care, By sharing all the love they gave With people everywhere. When you give away your love, That doesn't mean it's gone. Love will last forever, so open your heart... and pass it on. With Warm Wishes for Wonderful Holidays for you all, whether they be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or something else that I am not knowledgable enough to name! Suzanne

Re: OMG she's HERE!!? - 5th Ave. Fortuny Information from Suzanne

LOL, we just got these pics! Actually, these are quick pics shot in the Integrity NY office and better ones will be available after they do the final photo shoot. I was just uploading the info to the coming soon page of my site when I found this message, so the pics are there now. Here is the direct link to the coming soon page: http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/soon.htm Here is what Jason told me about her last week. She is the first in a new series called Candi Classics. At present they plan to produce only one doll per year in this series, obviously focusing on older, never produced Candi dolls that they feel collectors really want. No corners cut on quality here and I'm delighted they were able to bring her to market so far under the original pricing that would have been in place as part of the New York Collection. She is scheduled to be a limited edition of only 800 dolls. MSR is $42.99 and I have priced her at $41.50. She is available for pre-order with no monetary deposit at this time. Jason indicated that instead of a January 2002 arrival, she will now not be arriving until March 2002. Please let me know if you have any further questions, or wish to place a pre-order for Fortuni. If I don't have the answer to a question about her, I'll check with Integrity next week. Back to shipping those last minute purchases!

It seems Integrity is finally doing the Fortuni doll at last!!! WOW I thought I'd never see this doll, ROFLMAO! She is slightly different, but in a GOOD way. Check out the pics, WHAT A FACE!!! The new hair style is also most welcome. She looks a lot less drag queen than the original and ALL GLAM!!!! Go to: http://www.magmaheritage.com/ To the Candi section.

I think it is a good idea to write the magazine and express interest in reading articles on other fashion dolls. Let us hope they get enough mail to truly give the matter some serious thought.

There was originally a variation to be done in green but it was decided not to produce her. I was treated to a close up pic of the facial screening on a bald head, btw. She is absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous! These pics do not to her justice.
