The 1998 Christmas Pinups were painted by MiKelman. This was the last collection done by him that was produced by Hamilton Design Systeme. It is my personal opinion that the Pinups were an example of MiKelman at his best. They were different from his usual Candi screenings and I thought they were outstanding. They made me wish that he and the company had not parted ways.

<< Anyhow.... Suzanne had posted earlier that the 1998 Christmas Candi dolls were the only Ken Bartram dolls produced. I thought he also did the Holiday Pinups... If he didn't, out of curiousity, who did? I have all four of those (Bettie Page, AA, Asian, and Swedish) and the Asian one is one of my favorite dolls ever. Her lips are painted almost like the Barbie Steffie mold, and the painting on her is so delicate, almost like a watercolor. >>
