I Get a Tick Outta' You

As mentioned in the post below on 'Peep', this is the only other PFDF Sybarite that I have kept; 'Tick'.

'Tick' (LE 100) was the Event doll at the PFDF in March 2010. This was the same year that Superdoll held their 'Speak & Spell' Unconventional Convention at the Paris Doll Museum where the lucky attendees received 'Librium' (LE 50). As if that were not enough, the Paris Doll Museum also had an exclusive Sybarite 'Slipper' (LE 300) and there was a 'sister' for 'Tick'
by the name of 'Tock' (LE 100) who was sold from the PFDF Sales Room on the Sunday.

I did not like the original wig on 'Tick' ... it was a strange beehive thing and my best shot at a description would be a cross between Ronnie Spector and Marge Simpson ... so I removed it and I think she looks great with this black bob. The nicest things about her outfit are probably the silver 'powder compact' shoes (there is a a hinged powder compact in the sole of each shoe) and the flat wire headband that she had under her wig that enabled her to wear earrings (as far as I am aware 'Tick' was the only Sybarite with this feature which was called 'Earwigg').

'Tick' is modelling her default outfit (minus the wig and 'safety shield') by Superdoll. Wig by Chewin.

Painted Doll

In the days before Sybarites, Superdoll used to to make couture to fit the Tonner dolls. I remember a lot of these exquisite gowns, many of them bridal, and have had the privilege and pleasure of seeing some of these at an exhibit at the Paris Doll Museum in 2010.

Superdoll being Superdoll would not let just any old Tonner doll model their creations ... Charles used to repaint, or rather 'enhance' their Sydney Chase dolls for this prestigeous job ... this is 'Maude', a Sydney that has been enhanced by Charles. She has been given a fabulous updo and sultry new make-up. She is modelling a gown which was a limited edition of three called 'Carnidiva' and was made for the UK Doll Divas 2005 doll club event. Three colourways were made ... hot pink, teal green and apricot. The masque and headpiece was not made by Superdoll but are made with fabric donated by them.

'Maude' is modeling 'Carnidiva' in the apricot colourway and neckpiece from 'Couture Salon' both by Superdoll. Shoes from Ashton Drake for Gene Marshall and masque and headpiece by Doll-Scum.
