Daisy is the new resin ball jointed doll designed and realized by Korean artist Jung Hee Park. Having collaborated before with the exquisite Hee for a Haute Doll feature for her other sensational character, Bambola, Dolldom was aware that a wonderful creation would soon join its realm. And Daisy is everything a dollector wishes to have in a doll. Like Bambola, Daisy is an amalgam of pop references distilled into a unique entity. The doll comes dressed in a variety of fashion styles and can also exchange clothing with Takara's Licca and Blythe, making her an natural fit in may collections. But it has to be Hee's energy and essence that imbue the doll with incredible magic. Daisy feels classic and essential, like a doll you've always had in your collection. She in fact is a dream doll that finally becomes reality.

Winter Wonderland
Dolldom denizens of all ages, sizes, and materials gather to celebrate winter and to reflect as 2011 draws to an end. With its short days and colder weather, the season calls for warm hearts and hearths to keep chills of the skin and the soul at bay. So what to do? Give love and kindness to one and all. Then, feather your nest with ornaments of glitter and tinsel. Create a peaceful vignette with which to regale the eyes and make paper hats for the kids to wear as they play around the Christmas tree. Give the gift of a hand knit sweater to ward off the cold. And dazzle at that special soirée in a grand couture gown.
Dolldom wishes to thank all of its friends and colleagues without whom it would be impossible to enjoy life de luxe. May 2012 bring us all a world of health, peace, and prosperity!

Betsy McCall in Doll Reader
This month's issue of Doll Reader magazine features a fun feature on Dolldom favorite Betsy McCall in (almost) all of her incarnations - from the ever popular 8-inch size to the 30-inch toddler, Betsy does what Betsy does best in a colorful photo portfolio. In collaboration with editor Kathryn Peck, we created a calendar for 2012 in the style of the ones featured in McCall's magazine in 1962. Several dolls wear wonderful recreations of the paper doll's fashions by Little Red Hen.
