The beautiful chanteuse, Miss Violet Waters, was the fourth character to be added to the Monolithic line in November 2001. I remember being super-excited waiting for my pre-ordered 'Special Apperance' Violet to arrive from the US ... Violet makes her debut in "Special Appearance" a stunning gown of delicate white lace that boasts over 12,000 (that's right, it's not a misprint - 12,000!) hand-applied sequins and seed beads.
Well this was one of the most, if not THE most, disappointing gowns ever! The "delicate white lace" turned out to be tacky stretch lace used for making cheap stripper's lingerie and the beading was oversized and nothing special. I did like the doll and still have her (loved the hairstyle) but that dress just had to go!
Fast forward to Autumn 2008 and the gorgeous 'Color Deal' Violet Waters made her debut courtesy of Integrity. Needless to say she caught my eye and I managed to buy a nude off ebay. At around the same time I bought this Tonner gown called 'Smouldering Seduction' also off ebay. Upon arrival it did reek of cigarette smoke, which the seller failed to mention, but I did not feel I could complain, given the outrageously small sum of money I paid for it and luckily, the smell did fade when I hung it on the washing line for a few days.
Now this IS a gown fit for Ms Waters to make her 'Special Apperance' in ... smouldering!
