Re: Internationals - Kathy's AA

That dress and coat does look good on the AA International! I've also had some tell me that they are using the Gold 'n Glamour fashion on her and putting the sheath on the Gold 'n Glamour doll. My favorite on this AA is still the Gold Rush fashion but have to admit I got so focused on admiring Winter Mist on the Hispanic that I haven't tried it on the AA yet. I'm going to have to remedy that, LOL! Suzanne In a message dated 10/24/2001 7:14:14 AM Central Daylight Time, mroczko(a)verinet.com writes: << Nice to get a review of all four dolls.

I love the deep burgandy lips and nails.

That tight gold dress just looks fab on a Candi. I also think she will look great in Suzannes coat outfit. Can't wait to get that. >>

Internationals

HI All, Nice to get a review of all four dolls. I only purchased the AA, but I was not crazy about her outfit. Anyone else really annoyed about the fur on her collar and the fur on the purse being different? I didn't really like the outfit anyway, but I was love the doll itself. I just think the flocked hair is the best. I keep finding myself buying the honey AA, and this one is just wonderful. I love the deep burgandy lips and nails. Anyway, I looked around for a different outfit for her, and this is what I came up with the first time. http://www.frivolities.com/temp/inter.jpg The outfit is great without the coat too. That tight gold dress just looks fab on a Candi. I also think she will look great in Suzannes coat outfit. Can't wait to get that. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO

International Candis
by Silvana Baroffio 23 Oct '01

Hi Listies! I am the proud owner of 4 beautiful ladys from the International Line. :-) I love these dolls and I like to share my impressions with you. I hope you understand what I mean; it's not easy for me to express all these in english. ;-) Unpacking was easy, they are fastened to the box only with a tape at the waist. The new boxes are, by the way, much nobler than in former times. Who wants to look at the pictures of the ladies, can use the links. Danish Candi http://members.aol.com/SuzW497026/Resources/icidanish.jpg The most remarkable thing on her is the beautiful red hair, starked in two shades. The hair length is also unusual, it ends on center back. The black straigth dress is completely lined and suits perfectly. The hat is from a sturdy material and coated with something that looks like velvet. The double-row necklace (beads in two sizes) has a real hook and she waer matching bead ear plugs. Also the black gloves and the bracelet correspond perfectly to the outfit. I love also the new shoes, with open toe and heel portion and strap on the leg. The strap is closed with a tiny knub, what is quite tricky however it looks great. As additional accessoiries she has cool black sun glasses and a hat box with Candi print. Her eyes are in a colour like cognac and the eyelid shadows are reddish matching very nice to the hair colour. Under the left eye she has a small beauty mark. The dark red lips are easily opened, but she don't smile. The nailenamel corresponds to the lip colour. A wonderfully elegant lady! Asian http://members.aol.com/caribvid/Resources/icidasian2.jpg She has very long dark-brown hair, oliv coloured eyes, brownish eyelid shadows, light red lips and naturally the special asiatic face mold. The nails are painted suitably to the lipstick. The white suit from raw silk is in two-pieces, pants and top. The top is lined and has a deep back decollete. Everything sits as cast-on. Her only juwelry are silver earrings. The white shoes are closed at heels and toes, otherwise same as the shoes of Danish. She has a shoppingbag with her also as black sun glasses. She shines by Understatement! African American http://members.aol.com/suzw497026/Resources/icidaa.jpg This doll has flocked hair, ultra-short, and the colour is lightbeige. That sounds itself amusingly, I know, looks however refined to the honey skin tone. The eyes are in a darkly olive and she has, as only of the four, no painted lashes; only a black eyelid line. The eyelid shadow is painted in three brown tones and on the left cheek bone sits a beauty mark. The lips are dark-brown like also the nails. She has golden earrings and the sun glasses participate also again. The light brown wool-gown is lined, suits perfectly and is decorated with four "diamonds". The fur on her neck has a hook catch and also the fur bag had an imitated catch. Whether the fur accessories fits now a sleeveless dress and open shoes (same model as however with Danish in brown) or not, is probably matter of opinion. The most failed Candi so far, my opinion. Hispanic http://members.aol.com/caribvid/Resources/icidhisp2.jpg This beautiful one has very long, weavy platinum hair. The lipstick is a strong darker red, exactly the same color at her nails. Her make-up is held in tender grey and tender lilac and the eyes are lilac-grey. The grey brows are unusual, looks however well to the hair colour. In coloured harmony she carries a silver-grey straight dress without sleeves, with V-decollete. Also this dress is made perfectly , completely lined, decorated with a silver "brosche" with glass brick and looks from the back as beautiful as in front. Over the shoulders she carries a white fur. Silver pumps complete the outfit. She owns a totally noble radiant emittance. In real she affects fewer strictly than on the picture. All dolls are supplied with stand and, differently than sometimes the older models, they can moved the shoulder joints without any problems. The classical elegance of the dresses designed by Jason Wu is exciting! I'm totally hooked. Jeason did a great job on these dolls! The International line is, on my opinion, one of the most successful Candi series so far! yours -- Silvana Baroffio http://mypage.bluewin.ch/vana/home/

doll paterns
by Silvana Baroffio 23 Oct '01

Hi Listies, I don't remember who posted this link http://www.perestroika.ca/. Sorry. I was gone to have a look, and I ordred now the CD Vol. 1, for testing these paterns and to see which tips there are for simplier sewing. I'll tell you, what I think about. Vol.2 sounds much more interesting, those paterns will be more ambitious. Yours -- Silvana Baroffio http://mypage.bluewin.ch/vana/home/

Re: SUZANNE update - reply with gossip - reply

The Toy Soldier will not be done this year. The Manhattan Magic line has been renamed to Manhattan Moods and is the collection that is to contain the Wedding at St. Pat's and 5th Ave. Fortuny dolls. It was hoped that at least the 5th Ave. Fortuny doll from the line could be brought in by the end of the year but that is now up in the air. I also understand that there isn't a final decision yet on whether the Wedding at St. Pat's doll will be done after all. Apparently the dress is rather complicated for mass production and unless Jason comes up with a pattern he feels will live up to what was expected by collectors that can be done reasonably, her fate returns to "undecided" at the moment. Unless something changes, I don't think we will see Manhattan Moods until early 2002. No firm estimated release date is yet available.
