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.
