I appreciate your comment. You'...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I appreciate your comment. You're right! The Monsieur Z dolls are based on the illustrator's work. Thanks for sharing the link.<br /><br />It is good that Jason takes risks. His doing so contributes to his success. <br /><br />I did not buy the Josephine Baker doll, not even a discounted one. If the price is lowered even further (how much lower can they go, you're probably thinking?) before they sell out, I may purchase one. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-46382115341700800592010-09-26T19:52:28.320-05:002010-09-26T19:52:28.320-05:00I think they're either designed or based on th...I think they're either designed or based on the illustrator Monsieur Z.<br /><br />http://www.monsieurz.com/<br /><br />Jason Wu's dolls are sometimes more arty than other fashion dolls, like the Eve Kitten series, who was the heroine of a graphic novel. Like you, I didn't like the cartoony eye design but it's growing on me, they have a distinct retro appeal. I will probably get some of them. They're discontinued b/c they didn't sell well, but I think it's great that J.W. takes risks.<br /><br />Did you like the Josephine Baker doll? I suggested it when W club wanted new doll suggestions. I like the doll but it doesn't capture her exuberance. I will probably get her anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-36574738364153020362010-08-28T10:10:34.245-05:002010-08-28T10:10:34.245-05:00Canada also offers the Mixis fashion dolls who are...Canada also offers the <a rel="nofollow">Mixis</a> fashion dolls who are striking ethnic fashion dolls.

I actually own two versions of Leneda and Lenny (light and dark-Leneda; medium and dark Lenny). Leneda is also featured in my second book. Both dolls are featured in my third which will be published soon. Thanks for your post. <br /><br />Fellow black doll enthusiasts do realize black dolls are not exclusively made in the US and appreciate the other markets that include them in their lines. <br /><br />Thanks again for your post.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-4382057084615359512010-08-27T19:17:27.925-05:002010-08-27T19:17:27.925-05:00Are you familiar with the BEAUTIFUL
African-Canadi...Are you familiar with the BEAUTIFUL<br />African-Canadian doll "Leneda"?<br />She's available in 3 different skin tones. There is also an African-Canadian boy doll "Leroy" in this series. The all vinyl dolls are 11" tall. There is also a very pretty Asian doll in this series. I personally don't care for the face on the Caucasian doll<br />"Leeann".
