Fashion Royalty Freak !

I have always loved dolls, even since I was a kid playing with my sisters Barbies, making dresses for them, cutting their hair and doing their make up with felt tip markers. I got into trouble so many times my parents eventually got me a couple of my own.

Over the years they have come and gone, along with Action Jackson, the Sunshine Family & GI Joe.

Then came my Billy Doll, an anatomically correct gay inspired doll whom I set up a profile for in a chatroom. Can you believe one guy kept wanting to meet for a date. In the end I had to tell him it was a joke profile for a doll, it broke his heart, poor guy.

Then 2 years ago I discovered Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty by Jason Wu. OMG a dream come true! They are the most beautiful and well articulated dolls around as well as being rather pricey, but worth it. I only have 2 girls at the moment, both Kyori Sato's (Quicksilver & Belle duSoir) & one Homme (Pierre Lady Thriller) who has been repainted in Italy by Patrizia, www.flickr.com/photos/idrusa-ooak/.

Now my guy is called Antonio Rossi, an Italian Model/Fashion Designer.

I worked in Visual Merchandising for 9 years which is Display / Window Dressing, so was basically playing with life sized dolls (the manequins) and getting paid for it which I loved.

Now as a hobby I make doll jewellery which I sell on e-bay as "londavid69".

I hope to upload lots more photos of my guys and girls as time goes on and seeing what fantastic talent is out there in the doll photography field is a great inspiration to me.

Thanks to you all.
