Woo Hoo... My Blog is Featured on the Tonner Blog



Kevin von Duuglas-Ittu just informed me via a comment on my "I Stopped Counting at 500" post, that my blog is featured on the Tonner Blog .  Their post includes a bit of Tonner dolls of color history, too. 

A post about the Tonner dolls in my collection has been dancing around in my head for a while.  The first installment is forthcoming.
So much black-doll history... so little time to write.

The featured doll is Tonner's 22-inch American Models Basic African American from 2007, one of my absolute favorites... had to have her!  I named her Rihanna.  Rihanna wears Tonner's CherishedFriends.com-exclusive "Mountain Retreat" fashion. The outfit, a limited edition of 300, includes the classically styled red duffle coat with Burberry plaid lining, a long-sleeved red turtleneck over distressed jeans; side zipped, tan suede ankle boots; red drop earrings, and tan suede shoulder bag.  Rihanna looks great in anything. 

(The above image and description are included on pages 369-370 in my book, Black Dolls:  A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating, Collecting, and Experiencing the Passion, 2008. 

Thanks again Kevin for blog nod!
