The Black Swan Company has also released a beautiful OOAK creation that they will showcase at the 2014 Italian Doll Convention. Her name is Darkness Beauty and she’s a stunning lady in black.

As always their creations are over the top glamorous and very detailed. If you ever want to bid on their creations than bookmark their seller on eBay. I’m so very sorry I’ll not be traveling to IDC this year but I must buy one of their creations. I love them too much!

It’s that time again for some Nininmomo updates. I failed to show you some of their lates creations but I just could pass these ones also. They are too beautiful.

From this series my fave is Miss Pennsylvania 2013. First of all because she’s a Steffie and second because she wears a way better Zuhair Murad dress than the one Mattel has released. Way to go, Nik and Marie!

Which one is your favorite?

Via Dutch Barbie World we have some stunning images of the beautiful Red Hair Fiorella Silkstone Barbie that was given to the atendees of the 8th Japanese Barbie Convention that took place this weekend. The doll is a stunning variation of the Fiorella Silkstone Barbie and I must say she looks way, way better than the original one.

Here are the two dolls one next to the other. The red hair one looks more fierce even if some collectors think her black dress is boring. I think she looks more royal and elegant like this.

What do you think about this variation?

And also here are some IRL images of the Dulcissima Barbie doll. I think she’s just as stunning. Hope to see a variation of her in Paris or Milan.

Well I don’t know about you but I love the new Silkstones. I think I’ll be getting all this year and that’s a first for me.

CHO:LO has just released another of his amazing OOAK doll couture collections of his Flickr account, called “EnTrance“. There are two stunning gowns in this collection.

The first one is a blush colored satin draped ball gown with hand applied micro spangled lace, hand beaded with gold cutglass and faux pearls. Corset back, though its fitted with Numina Body, fit could adopt to similar sized dolls like Deva and Jamieshow, fit may be awkward for Sybarites but tolerable. Includes Ball Gown, Headpiece which is permanently attached to the wig, beaded purse and petti coat underneath.

The second dress is a Tiffany Blue colored satin draped mermaid cut gown with hand applied micro spangled lace, hand beaded with micro cutglass. Hook back and snap closures.Though it’s fitted with Numina Body, fit could adopt to similar sized dolls like Deva and Jamieshow, fit may be awkward for Sybarites but tolerable.

I have just heard that the amazing Michael Augustyniak, the author of some of the most amazing and well documented Barbie books, has passed away. I’m in total shock! All I can do is express my most sincere condoleances to his family and friends. I can’t believe I talked to him not so long ago about his upcoming books.

Such a big loss… Rest in Peace, Michael. The doll community will miss you dearly.

My friends Francesco Catalano and Mary Deneb from The Black Swan Company have just releaed this amazing OOAK Silkstone Barbie just in time for spring.

Their designs are better with every doll they release. Great job, my dears!

Hellen Doll Saga has just announced that Mattel Asia has launched a beautiful Collector Barbie that portraits Chinese actress and singer Fan BingBing.

I think the doll is a true piece of art! As far as I can tell her dress is very well made and is the same that she wore at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Simply amazing! The doll retails at $145 and most likely she’s an Asian market exclusive.

What do you think about this beauty?

David Bocci is a well know Spanish OOAK artist and the owner of Refugio Rosa and he’s also the creator of the beautiful Reina Nayade doll that I’ve told you about last year.

Today he has launched another great project: a fab Malefica (Maleficent) OOAK Barbie.

I love her costume and the Mackie face mold gives the doll a softer edge even if she still looks fierce and evil. Good job, David! She’s stunning.
You can check out his other creations on his Facebook page.
