Rocking the Boondocks with Music and Doll Icon Marie Osmond

I'm a little bit country
And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll



I'm a little bit of Memphis and Nashville
With a little bit of Motown in my soul



I don't know if it's good or bad
But I know I love it so
I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock 'n roll
She's a little bit gentle, she's a little bit runnin' wild



She's a little bit a full-grown woman, she's a little bit of a child
Don't know if I'm happy or sad
My music makes me whole
I'm a little bit country
And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll



I like that peaceful easy feeling of a laid-back country song
And when I sing my rock 'n roll, I can sing it all night long
I love my country with all my heart and my soul
I go out on Saturday night for a little bit of rock 'n roll



I know I'm goin' to feel all right
No matter where I go
With a little bit of country
And a little bit of rock 'n roll

Glamour Puss Redefined: Hollywood Canteen Ivy Jordan

The spotlight is on Miss Ivy Jordan! The talented actress is mostly known for her savvy comebacks and perfect comedic timing. Yet, sometimes society falls trap to a silly dichotomy: wit and sex-appeal may not always come together harmoniously. To challenge this assumption and to regale our readers' eyes,  Dolldom had the honor of hosting Mel Odom's Miss Ivy Jordan in her "Hollywood Canteen" iteration as manufactured by JAMIEShow Dolls. The results of the fun modeling session are but pat one of a series of entries celebrating the beauty of Miss Jordan and several of her Monolithic Studios' colleagues.
Today we feature Miss Ivy Jordan, Glamour Puss. As a blonde (very platinum) Miss Jordan's deep indigo blue eyeshadow pops and her deep red lips (that pout - so Garbo!) exude you-can't-kiss-me attitude. Who knew? Here she is: Miss Ivy "Vee" Jordan, ultimate glamour puss.


In Marlena's wig, restyled by hairstylist extraordinaire Kathy Johnson, Miss Jordan models her "Hollywood Canteen" skirt and Gene's "Promenade" blouse by Tim Kennedy.


"Hollywood Canteen" Ivy Jordan's fashion consists of two separate pieces that expand the mix-and-match possibilities. The blouse is shown in this photo accompanied by the skirt from "Afternoon Off" designed by Doug James. Ivy loves her platinum grey wig issued on "Hollywood Canteen" Gene Marshall. 




Vogue! Miss Jordan cuts an impressive figuere in "Fashion Plot" designed by Tim Kennedy.


Curves for days! In Liz Cole's in-the-jungle vintage raw silk gown, Miss Jordan will make the ultimate star entrance. Wig restyled by Kathy Johnson.


Goddess! In Timothy Alberts, "Blue Evening", Vee is nothing short of stunning. A rare beauty, indeed.


"Claudette" wig cap in platinum grey adds even more drama to the color palette.

Doll, wig caps, and some of the fashions featured are available at JAMIEshow Dolls

Silkstone Underground

Barbie, the Teen-Age Fashion Model, recently found herself in a conundrum. What to wear for the cover photo of the music album of her new band The Silkstone Underground. Quick thinking led her to collaborate with several artists who came up with several excellent ideas. At the end of the session, Barbie loved all the looks and decided to release several songs as 45 RPM records!

First off: an evocation of 1960s spy flicks via a pink brocade trench and mini turtleneck dress by Rosina Haskell.


The platinun-haired beauty looks sensational in soft pink.

Cover for 45 RPM record of "Stop Spying on my Heart!"

Next: a coquettish hand knit mini and white leatherette boots.


Very seductive! Perfect for a rock and roll shindig.

Cover for 45 RPM record of "Cold Waters of Love"

Courrèges, you say?


The icon of 60s couture- the metallic mesh mini!


Barbie is a stunning presence in Francesca Pigliapoco's silver version.


Cover for 45 RPM record of " Zubbi-Dubbi"

What about pink gingham? It's another classic.


This made for Poppy  Parker number is both sweet and sexy. A strong contender.


Cover for 45 RPM record of "Jamais pour toi"


Any gowns?

 
Bien sur! Here's one for you. Empire waist is, after all, le dernier cri.


Silver cuffs and a flower pin add sparkle.
 
Voilà! The Robert Best design is enchanting! It's sophisticated and elegant.


And this is the cover for the LP titled "I Live out of the Box!"
