The Girl from Ipanema

Summertime...and the living is easy. Sometimes all it takes to experience that oft-touted summer vibe is to listen to a favorite song sipping a favorite drink while watching the sun set. 

One of Dolldom's favorite tunes is "The Girl from Ipanema", written by Antonio Carlos Jobim with lyrics by Vinicius De Moraes (translation by Norman Gimbel). 


Dolldom honors this classic performed by Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz with a special portfolio featuring two very special Joey Versaw's Meadow dolls. Meadow, based on the drawings of Edmond Kiraz, captures the zeitgeist of the 1960s modeling a selection of fashions by Integrity for Poppy Parker, Mattel for Francie, and Engadered Sissy for Blythe


Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes, "Ah"
Oh, but he watches her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at he







Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles
But she doesn't see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles
But she doesn't see...






She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
No, she doesn't see...

Who's That Girl?

Doll play has 1001 manifestations as it goes beyond the mere act of a wardrobe change. Dollectors of all ages engage in an instantaneous storytelling journey, be it by adding a pair of sunglasses or repositioning the protagonist of the narrative.  Creative and revealing, doll play is, to many of us at Dolldom, as much a balsam for the soul as a shot of gin.  

Enter Joey Versaw's Meadow, lead singer of the band The Daffodollies. A tribute to the art of French illustrator Kiraz, Meadow combines the latest in technology with painstaking hand painting of face up and body blushing. Sculpted digitally and then 3-D printed, Meadow is the apotheosis of digital magic, but it is the way in she's brought to life in the hands of Versaw, that Meadow truly becomes a character; a perfect heroine for many an adventure. 

Designed to wear wigs and to fit into couture created for slim dolls, Meadow invites us to engage with her. As this entry proves, Meadow truly is 100 dolls in one, as with just the change of wig, a new character is born. Add Mod styles borrowed from Francie, Momoko, even Poppy Parker, and suddenly, we all ask: "Who's that girl?"

Meadow borrows Miss Mary's ponytail wig and dons a cute beaded mini by Marirose. 

Francie's "Kitty Corner" mini, designed by Robert Best, is even more audacious on Meadow. Monique beehive wig. 


Designed for Francie by Julia of ThinkBarbie, this darling set uses "Swirly Cue's" fabric print. Monique wig. 





The raspberry color of her human hair wig adds even more punch to Francie's "Style Setter's".

The fashion show closes with a 60s classic - Francie's "Silver Cage". Pink and purple magic.

Disco at the Pity Party

The title of this entry may sound complicated, but it's not! It's all about new fab doll intros!

Joey Versaw introduces a new character from The Daffodolly's Band and her name is Disco!

"Debut Disco"


Disco is the fun loving drummer of “The Daffodolly’s “ and Meadow's best friend from childhood. She comes in a color saturated bell sleeve stage dress, “Mua!” necklace, and a truly fab wig with hand painted headband to match her dress. 




Debut Disco is a limited edition of 20.



It’s Meadow's Birthday but Irma (Meadow's frenemy) has intentionally delayed bandmate Kirby and Meadow is beside herself. Real friend Disco turns up to try to cheer the forlorn birthday girl. Meadow comes with party dress, black "Taylor" wig, and birthday invitations.
