Giveaway #2 for 1 of 170

The second giveaway includes a new, never-removed-from-box Fashionistas Nikki, a boxed set of three Barbie party-style fashions, two pairs of flower-shaped earrings, and an extra Fashionistas head, the hair of which has been restyled by me. The extra head is from an original Artsy Fashionista and has been placed on the Swappin’ Styles base, which is included in this giveaway.  The head pops off the base easily because I removed the neck knob from the base.   Added to the extra head are faux diamond earrings and a matching necklace. Two beauty marks, one above the lip and one on the side of the face, were also added to the face of the extra head.

There are multiple-use possibilities for the items in this giveaway:

1. Nikki can be enjoyed as is.
2. Nikki’s multi-articulated body can be used with another head of your choice that matches the complexion.
3. The fashions and jewelry are appropriate for Nikki to wear to party engagements as she continues to celebrate the New Year.
4. The extra fashions and jewelry can be used for other dolls in your collection.
5. The extra head with custom hairstyle gives Nikki an alternate look.
6. The extra head can be used with another body with matching complexion.

What You See is What the Winner Receives

Correction: We Have Two Winners!

Correction:  Only seven of the nine commenters expressed a desire to enter this first of two planned giveaways.  So technically there were only seven entrants.  Because I miscalculated the total, I am giving away two books.  Using Custom Random Generator, entering numbers 1 through 7, CRG chose #1 as the second lucky winner. 

Congratulations, Lee (1x1000), you are the second of the two winners in this first of two planned giveaways! Please email your address to me, and I will mail your autographed book with CD.

Doll-Related Giveaway Drawing

Following the generous spirits of fellow blog authors of, Fashion Dolls at Van's Doll Treasures and Chynadoll Creations, I am also conducting a drawing as a gesture of my appreciation to my followers.  Instead of offering a doll, I decided to offer a doll-related item in this first giveaway installment (there will be two).

For the first installment, the one who possesses the winning number will receive a autographed, pre-publication copy of my second black-doll reference book, Black Dolls a Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating Collecting and Experiencing the Passion.  Published in full color in 2008, as a followup to my first book, Black Dolls, provides image identifications, descriptions, and values for over 1000 vintage-to-modern black dolls. The dolls are categorized in separate chapters devoted to early dolls, cloth, fashion, manufactured (playline), artist, celebrity/personality/historical, paper dolls, with the final chapter devoted to doll creativity.  The book contains 449 pages

The post-production (final copies) retailed for $34.95 and sold out in less than a year's time.  Offered here (and still selling on Amazon.com, with a copy sold just yesterday) is an autographed pre-production copy, which includes a CD complement of chapter 4 in its entirety which corrects the 10 pages of text-image discrepancies discovered after the first copies were published. 

Read Amazon.com reviews here. 

If you are interested in increasing your knowledge on modern-to-vintage black dolls, please add a comment to indicate your desire to participate in this drawing.  Each comment will be assigned a number in the order the comment is placed.  The winning number will be selected randomly using Custom Random Number Generator.

The drawing will be held on Sunday December 18, 2011.  The holder of the winning number will be announced by noon CST on the 18th.  The book and CD will be mailed out the following Monday, December 19, 2011, via media mail at no cost to US residents. 

International followers may participate but will be responsible for the cost of shipping. 

Thanks to all my faithful followers and good luck should you choose to enter!  Stay tuned for giveaway #2.
