Hi there Kathy and all! Yes'um, those gorgeous, perfect for the holiday season, Holiday Toast dolls are now in stock. However, I haven't shipped them out to those who also have the Winter Mist fashion on order with me so the doll/s and fashion could be combined into one shipment, saving those customers some shipping money. Winter Mist didn't get to the Integrity warehouse until this past Wednesday and they are in transit to me now. They should be here by next Tuesday or Wednesday. I have to comment here on the presentation of the Holiday Toast dolls. They are another example of the thought that is being put into even the packaging of Integrity's Candis now. The dolls have their great red crystal earrings in their ears, with the exception of the Asian. Her's are packaged separately in the box. I had the occasion to talk to Jason right after they arrived, so I asked him why they did this. He said that he was afraid that in shipping it would make the Asian's very short hair stick out on the sides and look funny. Thusly, they decided to package her earrings separately in the box and let the collectors decide whether or not they even want to use them. The doll really doesn't need them, as flat as the hair is to the sides of her head. Jason also remembered how many times in the past collectors have complained about excessive, gunky gel in different dolls' hair that has to be washed out by those who play with them. Consequently on the the Danish, Hispanic and Swedish dolls, they put the hair in a net for shipping. I am most impressed by the thought that is being put into the packaging of the dolls now. I am also grateful that Integrity cares enough about their collectors to put this much thought into it! I would encourage you to drop them a note on their customer service e-mail to let them know you appreciate their efforts as well. Just as collectors need to voice valid complaints, we also need to extend a pat on the back when one is due. BTW, Kathy, did I miss something? PINK hair?????? Love your "Suess"ette. Boy, funky hair colors are really in for dolls now, LOL! I'm leaving town this afternoon for a show in Houston tomorrow. I know that I'll see a couple of list members for sure and am looking forward to it! Have a good weekend!

Ohhh Suzanne, I can't wait to see these dolls in person. Thanks for waiting on the shipping, as I always prefer to wait and have more money for dolls than the P.O.! I think that is a wonderful idea about dropping Integrity a line about the good things. I know sometimes I am too quick to criticize and not quick enough to compliment, and there have been lots of things I am really pleased about so far. I don't know if Integrity knows how lucky they are to have Jason. Coming from a collectors and customizers perspective, he has tons of insights into what people want, and has been coming up with some wonderful ways to get it to us. My only big complaint so far, is that they are not doing enough dolls for me! LOL Of course, this way is easier on my budget. The pink hair thing is just a whim of mine for convention, and my hubby thinks I am nuts. I talked to my hair dresser already, and she says to do my hair, she will have to take out all the original color and then do it pink, so I am thinking of doing it and leaving it for a month or so. Should be a real hit at Graysons play group. LOL Good thing he isn't older, or I would have to walk ten paces behind him. Dena, Tell your family that there is no such thing as "enough" dolls and buy yourself some more for Christmas. That is what I do! Not to mention I am trying to slowly snare my MIL into my sickness. I got her an Erica Cane doll for mothers day ( her favorite soap) and made her a OOAK bride doll for Christmas. Soon she will come over to the dark side! Sincerely, Kathy m. Frivolities Antiques Ft.

Hi all! The House of Wakeen has finally sent out information on the 2001 Eve line. I have just uploaded pics of the dolls that are due to arrive in December and pics of dolls that will probably not arrive until 2002. Looks like Cassie, Eve's new friend will be among the 2002 dolls. I hope that you enjoy the pics. Please let me know if you have any questions about the line and I'll do my best to get an answer if I don't already have the information you need. Hope everyone is having a really good weekend. Suzanne - oops, site addy is: http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

Fw: One Woman's Suggestion For Winning The War
by Bradford 31 Oct '01

Just for fun... thought you might get a "kick" out of this. Melissa in MD Take all American women who are within five years of menopause - train us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer with SPF15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, and canned tuna - drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally. Think about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make even armed men in turbans tremble. We've had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and their future. We'd like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already. And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by lightning. We have nothing to lose. We've survived the water diet, the protein diet, the carbohydrate diet, and the grapefruit diet in gyms and saunas across America and never lost a pound. We can easily survive months in the hostile terrain of Afghanistan with no food at all! We've spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware stores, or sporting events...finding bin Laden in some cave will be no problem. Uniting all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new government? Oh, please ... we've planned the seating arrangements for in-laws and extended families at Thanksgiving dinners for years ... we understand tribal warfare. Between us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is for how they hide, launder, or cover up bank accounts and money sources. We know how to find that money and we know how to seize it ... with or without the government's help! Let us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we crawl like ants with hot-flashes over their godforsaken terrain. I'm going to write my Congresswoman. You should, too!
