Alyssa is a very talented model and another model I would love to shoot with one-on-one (MM #1367275). Unfortuneately, when there are more photographers than models and a few photographers tend to monopolize them it is tough to get good shots, but that said, it worked out okay. Alyssa did a great job of trying to provide eye contact for each of the photographers working with her. These are two of the three outfits that I saw her wearing at the shoot. I will post the third, but it was a beautiful dress that was some color between red and burgandy (hey I kinw the primary colors and a couple of basic shades :o) ).
In these poses I loved the lighting coming in through the window and providing backlighting for her hair. I suspect that the shoes and probably the outfit were provided. You cannot see it real well in this shot but the shoes still had the size (6) and price tags. No big deal if you are wearing them, but adds color if you decide to hold them.
For the record, I feel better today.
Had a good day in work as I was out and about doing inspections and observations. Its good to get out from behind my desk.
It also gave me a chance to pop into the shops between visits for a bit of retail therapy.

LOVETONES are created by Rocco Liang in Taiwan. His “Autumn Winter 2017 Collection”, Trendsetter Lena and Trendsetter Roxy, is available since the end of 2017. Limited edition size is 100 each. The doll costs $210 USD plus shipping. There are still some for sale (at least they were, last time I checked).
My Trendsetter Roxy came with a “Baby Pink Ruffle High-Low Dress”, an “Oversized Black Leather Biker Jacket”, “White Lace Sock High Heels”, and a “Black Glove Clutch”. Her second outfit is lingerie, “Pink Bustier and Panties”. Her accessories are a pair of “Matte Black Square Earrings”. The last items in her box were a metal doll stand ('waist hugger') and a Certificate of Authenticity (CoA). Names were taken from the www.lovetonesdoll.com website.
Lena's hair color is “Dark Chocolate (Duo-Tone Hair Mix)”. She is the first LOVETONES with duo-tone hair (as is Trendsetter Lena). Her hair is a bit more unruly than I was used from the previous dolls. She has the usual body, comparable to Integrity Toys' Nu.Face, with a much smaller head. She has the fierce look I expect from a LOVETONES doll.
The item you notice first about her outfit is the oversized, black leather biker jacket. The main zipper is actually working! The three other, smaller zippers are decorative and do not work. The jacket is very detailed and awesome. It is the first reason I decided to order Roxy and not Lena.
Roxy's dress is beautiful too and looks gorgeous worn under the leather jacket. On its own it's still beautiful, maybe a little too sweet for me. There are two long ribbons to fasten the dress over each of her shoulders with a tiny bow. I guess the too long ends are supposed to be cut off after the bows are tied. I was reluctant to do that, so I hid the ends behind her back. That may look a little strange in the picture above. While this dress doesn't hit the spot for me, the craftmanship displayed is impressive.
Her shoes are unique. Only the soles and heels are solid, the rest are really white lace socks. The shoes are easy to put on (carefully, or the toes will poke through the lace), though only after a few changes the lace at the top tends to fray. Like her dress her shoes made me think that the doll is supposed to be dressed and displayed, and never changed again. Because I like to have the option to redress my dolls, that does not impress me much.
Trendsetter Roxy's second outfit is lingerie. That hers is a soft pink and not simply black, is the second reason I preferred this Roxy to Lena. Her bustier is not easy to tie tightly and the laces are very long again, making me think once more about the display idea. Her lingerie is simple, sweet and sexy, so it's fine. I like it.
I don't use the earrings, but I checked: Roxy's ears are cleanly pierced, so her earrings should be easy to put on (in).
Since the last edition, Under Runway, LOVETONES dolls come in a slightly larger, elegant black box with two compartments beside each other to pull out at the sides. One holds the nude doll in foam, the other holds all the other stuff in resealable plastic bags, with the exception of the doll stand.
When I pulled out Roxy for the first time, she wore a hairnet and her torso was covered in plastic wrap. Her legs were not wrapped and there were black stains from the box cover on her upper thighs and slight stains on her knees. I got rid of all stains with warm water, soap, and a lot of hard scrubbing. No real damage, but annoying, because it lessened my joy of deboxing the doll for the first time. After I informed Rocco Liang about that, he apologized and told me they might change the box design for the next edition.
Bottom Line
“Trendsetter” is the fifth edition of LOVETONES since 2015. To me this Roxy is one of the best so far. (Timeless Show Roxy is still the best for me, even though Trendsetter Roxy contested her title on behalf of the amazing leather jacket and her more colorful outfit.) I have a few very minor complaints, aside from the removable stains. Maybe I've become more discerning as a collector. Anyway, this Roxy is a gorgeous additon to any fashion doll collection, and I recommend her. I remain a LOVETONES fan and I look forward to the next edition.

Here's my actual collection, some fits better, other less, they are mostly Mattel Kelly/Shelley/Tommy size shoes.All the Kelly/Shelly are to be worn without socks even if they are mostly squishy so with a little effort they can fit more.
I hope this will help Middie owners, any suggestion is welcome!
See the notes.

Making a reference photo because I have some fairly unpopular dolls. These kind of pictures are always helpful to me because I like making hyrbids, so hopefully this will help someone!

The brown wall will eventually be like ricepaper windows in a Japanese house, as hachi lives in her Grandmother's old shrine. She did get to do one wall up the way she wanted. I made a mess 10x this size in the end XD

The five mute swan cygnets at Swanpool are attracting a lot of attention lately. They are so cute and fluffy I cannot resist to go back nearly every day to watch them! Here is an unusual perspective showing how small they are - can't imagine after a few months they would be as big as their parents!
