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.

Integrity announces a new Dynamite Girl

A new member has joined the Dynamite Girls from Integrity Toys. Her name is TJ, and she's just in time for Valentine's Day. According to Integrity, this new girl comes in both caucasian and african-american vinyl tones. Each version is limited to 500 pieces and retails for $45 US. Authorized Dynamite Girls retailers are taking orders now. As an added bonus, each doll comes packaged with a tiny teddy bear.

We've got a cool discussion going on in the DollyDaily community. Please check it out. There are some additional pics and some links to a few of the authorized retailers.

The Dynamite Girls just keep getting bigger and better, and Integrity designer David Buttry continues to WOW us with is vision. In the last year, we've seen the introduction of four new characters, Rufus Blue, Sooki, Eltin, and now TJ (it's important to note that Sooki and Eltin both share the same face mold). I can't wait to see what the rest of 2009 has in store for us.
