Happy 20th Anniversary Miss Marshall

Wow! It is hard to believe that Miss Gene Marshall celebrates her 20th Anniversary this year! Although she was launched in 1995, it wasn’t until 1999 that I discovered her (doll collecting is not as popular a hobby in the UK as it is in the US!) and subsequently fell in love with her. It is a love affair that has endured from the Ashton Drake era through to Integrity and now Jamieshow (although I am finding it hard to like the face of Jamieshow Gene – sorry!)

She was the first l5” fashion doll, spawning a long list of copycats and wannabes, but she is tougher than she looks and has survived and flourished against all odds … she is a legend!

Happy 20th Anniversary Gene and many more to come!

‘Blue Parasol’ Gene from Integrity, is modelling a gown that I know nothing about unfortunately as it was a prize. 'Frostfire' necklace and diamante cuffs by Facets, mink stole by Dimitha and earrings and chandelier by Doll-scum.

Luck Be A Lady

Oh the cliché of it all … the red lace, the stockings, the high heels and the pose!

‘Toxica’ is all set for Valentine’s Day in red lace underwear and black hold-up stockings. I hope she isn’t too much of a cliché though as I have styled her in a retro pin-up style as a gentleman’s playing card. She is definitely worth a gamble on!

‘Toxica’ is modelling the red lace underwear from ‘Sabbatha’, red ‘Double Vision’ heels and her own red flower hair clip, all by Superdoll. Playing cards from ebay and black hold-up stockings and gold hoop earrings by DollScum.
