Jumping Down the Rabbit Hole

 So after years of moving away from the 12" dolls, with a few exceptions, I have now taken a flying leap down the Integrity Toys rabbit hole again. I was in on the ground floor when Integrity first launched the Fashion Royalty line years ago. I soon got frustrated with how hard the dolls were to get and moved on. I did keep most of the fashions though and a stray doll here and there. When Poppy Parker was first introduced I really liked her and bought a couple, then I again got frustrated with how difficult it was to get the ones you liked, so I sold the couple I had and moved on.  I've been clearing out and re-organizing my doll room and going through dolls and outfits and realized again how much I loved some of my older Fashion Royalty clothing.  I went online to do some research about pricing etc and found the East 59th line of dolls, with a vintage focus.  I found out there were basic Victoires available through Integrity Direct, and one of them was a gorgeous raven, so I hit the button and ordered her. She arrived yesterday and she's just stunning!

I love everything about her! I read that she can share clothing with the Silkstone line, so I'm anxious to try some of those outfits on her, as I do have quite a bit of that.  She comes in this basic red swim suit with heels and gold hoop earrings.

Very classy lady! I was able to find a couple of outfit splits on Ebay from the E59th line as well. One of them was Divine Evening. It came today so I had to try it on Victoire.  The original doll it came on is a brunette with an updo that has a blonde stripe. I think this raven haired beauty suits it just as well.

And without the wrap (which I'm not sure I put on correctly.) The outfit came with gorgeous jewelry and even a cigarette with holder. Integrity really is marvelous with the details.  Needless to say, I've now joined the W Club, and ordered the Poppy. I think it's safe to safe I've leaped into the rabbit hole again, and at the moment I'm pretty happy about it!
