New Randall Craig and Top Model Hair Wear Sale

If you need some extra model muse bodies, the Top Model Hair Wear Collection is on sale at Target stores. Some of the forum members reported that they were on sale at their local stores for $9.99, but some of the stores still have the dolls at regular price so you might have to call before you go to your local store. The sale is going to last until sometime in May. The best body for rebodying older fair skinned dolls is the Summer Hair Wear Top Model. The good thing about this body is that is does not come with any staining from the boots as the original Top Model Summer did. The Barbie body has two bent arms and a medium tan skin tone. The Teresa doll has two straight arms with a deep tan skin tone. It's a good time to stock up on these dolls at this great price. Unfortunately Top Model Nikki does not appear to be part of the sale since she has only been available at Walmart so far.

I received a few e-mails from Randall Craig about their new Living Room Accessory set.

We are pleased to introduce our first RC Home Accessory Set. This is a
natural/neutral color accessory set with just hints of a muted blue in the upholstery. It is designed to go with The Living Room. This set includes
a custom woven rug, 3 square pillows, cushions for the sectional in a wonderful textured upholstery, and a glass bowl with rocks (to add an earthy element). What a great way to give a new look to The Living Room! LE 50, only $40.

Available for order now directly through Randall Craig, Inc. Please
send orders to rcfashion at aol.com.

*Please note that Randall Craig, Inc. is closed on weekends so please do not expect responses to e-mails send over the weekend.
*These items are handmade. Please excuse minor variations due to the nature of the hand work.

Here is another photo of the RC accessories.

Armani, Yes!

This week I've picked up a few dolls on Ebay that I've been wanting for a while. Today I managed to buy the Armani Barbie at a reasonable price. I know when I receive her she is going to be hard to de-box. But of course, I have plans for her . . . Now I'm stalking another doll that just didn't grab me when she came out. I've seen really nice pictures of her on the Barbie Collector Board and in the forum so I think I'll take the plunge. I'll post here if I nab her!

I've taken so many pictures the last several weekends that I still have tons I haven't posted. This one of Summer is one of them. So far, Summer remains in her original outfit. It's just so cute that I can't bring myself to redress her. I picked up the Street Sweet My Scene dolls and thought it would be cute to have them switch clothes with the four Hair Wear girls. I guess that's a good idea for a future photo shoot!

Three Cheers!

I still can't get over those adorable Vidal Sassoon 60s and 70s dolls! Argh, those are going to be so hard to find!

But on to better things! Things have finally been resolved with Em. What a relief! My hubby saw me excitedly adding some pictures to the forum and he just rolled his eyes, "You aren't getting us sued again are you?" I must thank him first and foremost for putting up with me during this hectic time and for being the best damn lawyer ever!!! I also want to thank so many of the former forum members. Most notably Likeamuse, Chococat, Helen, Zoila and Vivi! I really do think The Doll Cafe is destined for great things! I am so glad to be "officially" back! Please join me in the forum and take a look at the new look of the gallery! Check here for all the official announcements and the official grand opening! So, let's celebrate, three cheers and three Summers for us all!
