Integrity debuts their 2009 collection

Last night at the W Hotel in NYC, Integrity Toys hosted their "W at the W" 2009 Toy Fair event.

Fashion Royalty: Future.Perfect collection Spring 2009. 4 basic dolls & 4 Premium dolls (2 of which are a new character called Dania). The Nu.Face collection is "On The Fringe" and features Takeo, Lukas, Erin, Giselle, and Eden all dressed "on the fringe" of fashion. There lots to see of new Gene dolls, AvantGuards, Dynamite Girls, and a new collection called Poppy Parker, a new take on vintage 60s fashion. We've got loads of photos from several attendees in the DollyDaily community. Please stop by and check them out. Thank you to our trusted DollyDaily scouts who attended the event and reported back with the goods. We LOVE YOU for all of your efforts. It's time to make those lists and get your preorders ready.

Doll haircutting tutorial

Join us Thursday, February 12th at 9pm eastern (6pm pacific) in the Dolly Daily chatroom (accessible in the Dolly Daily Community) for a doll haircutting tutorial and chat. Lea has been gracious enough to host a haircutting seminar on one of her Bratz dolls, but any doll will suffice. She has already posted the necessary supplies and a few instructionals in the "how to" forum of the Dolly Daily community.

Barbie doll celebrates her 50th Anniversary

2009 marks Barbie doll's 50th anniversary. I'm so excited to be a doll collector during this time. I hope that Mattel knocks our socks off with a bevy of releases that honor the original teenage fashion model.

Here's a pic I recently took of an original #1 blonde Barbie doll from 1959. She's modeling Gay Parisienne, one of the original outfits available from that same year. In this ensemble Barbie doll exudes the fashion, style, and elegance of the late 1950s. She gave children everywhere a glimpse into a world of modeling, jet-setting, and glamour right in their very own homes.



Without Barbie doll, the concept of the modern fashion doll might be considerable different. My sincere thank you to everyone at Mattel in the late 1950s and early 1960s, to the creators of the Bild Lilli doll, to Ruth Handler, to Charlotte Johnson, and everyone involved in bringing Barbie doll to life. It just wouldn't be the same without her.

I've begun a thread in the Dolly Daily community photo forum where I will continue on with my year-long photo tribute to Barbie doll.
