Hi, all! I just wanted to share with you. I attended a Veronique & Adele luncheon in Northern Maryland yesterday. Jason Wu & Percy Newcomb were the guests. It was a marvelous day! The event was held in a barn on the Carroll County Farm Museum property & it was a very cozy & quaint setting. Jason did a nice talk about his dolls from how he got started to how dolls go from ideas to production to collectors. He brought several of the Fashion Royalty line to show including the new dolls that are pictured on the Fashion Royalty website. The new Chic Escape is just TOO CUTE & has BLUE eyes under the shades! There was a great Gourmet Deli luncheon & lots of door prizes & "helpers" raffled off-some donated by Integrity, of course. I didn't win any of the above, but I did win the table centerpiece which consisted of a potted plant & a Basic Adele. My very first Fashion Royalty doll. The Luncheon doll is a beautiful redhead in "Toast of Paris". I can't say enough about these beautiful dolls. So much detail! But, of course, some of you already own some of the Fashion Royalty & know all that. I got a chance to speak with Jason after the talk & he remembered me from CandiChat. I gave him greetings from the list. He is such a nice young man & so "down-to-earth". We have so many amenable & talented people on our list. I'm so glad I found CandiChat many years ago. You all are great; through the "thick & thin" of the Candi world! Best wishes, Melissa
Was Jason's age mentioned? didn't he start on this list & designing dolls & all the marvy things he does , when he was just 17? Pat H

Yes, he was about 16 at the time and yes, he was a CandiChatter at the time. In 1999, he did an OOAK Barbie for the Convention that sold for $5000! He says that he went to see Percy at Toy Fair about that time & Percy wanted to know why they had let that child in. He's 21 now. (And still looks soooo young!) Melissa

Thanks for the description of what sounds like a super day, Melissa. How neat you got to attend that luncheon. What size are the fashion royalty dolls, are they 11.5' or 12?"

Hey do you watch the TV show Trading Spaces on the Learning Channel? I always wondered about people that get picked & guess what? One of my cousins in Louisville, Ky was recently chosen...all I know so far is that her room was done in a Southwest theme & they did their neighbors in a beach theme & that it will be aired Aug. the 10th at around 7 P Lou. Time. It's the new type where kids in the family get to help out. Their name is Donna & Jeff Fultz...I'm trying to find out much more but all info so far is being slowly sent me per email If any of you are interested in learning more let me know off line & I'll tell you as I find out.
