Who's That Girl?

In Hollywood, not all stories are fully documented. Some remain mysteries and as such provide dollectors with a canvas onto which to project a wonderful world of intrigue, drama and fun. In the richly developed world of Mel Odom's Gene Marshall, Oona stands out for the absence of a biography. The best rumors (started by a trustworthy source) is that she was an alien saved by Violet Waters and an unidentified man.

Regardless of her origins in our vast universe, Oona is a beauty. And to us, Oona makes the ideal character to portray a facet of Hollywood that is as iconic and perhaps sometimes more fun than its mainstream. For in this Dolldom exclusive, Oona embodies the Queen of the B-Movie. Subversive and unabashed, Oona took on projects that Gene Marshall and Madra Lord could not - due to their established personalities at Monolithic Studios. From science fiction to exploitation films, Oona did it all and loved every minute of it.

Mel Odom's Oona joins Gene Marshall, Madra Lord, and Violet Waters in JAMIEshow Dolls' realm of  beautifully-crafted resin ball-jointed dolls.

Come discover the world of purple-eyed Oona and find out why she has such a cult following...

 Dark and moody... horror flick!


For The Creature from The Deep Creek, Oona sported figure-hugging couture that accentuated her dynamic dimensions.  Polka dot dress by Byanca of Houston. Two piece bathing suit by Liz Cole for Retros. Jewelry by StrayCat.


Oona auditioned for the role of Lola Foley in The Night, Nurse. The part went to her friend Gay Carrington, so no hard feelings arose.

In between film projects, Oona modeled sensational jewelry by Joy Jarred.


The beautiful scale of the baubles suited Oona's big personality. Wig by Ilaria Mazzoni.


Even when going to the liquor store, Oona exuded high glam.


She-Devil? Absolutely.


Her favorite role was one of her most controversial. No one expected her to take over hell in Hot Punishment!


The movie was banned in many cities which only exacerbated the desire of all to witness what happens when poor unfortunate souls descend to the depths of despair.


Oona was thrilled to work again with Liz Cole for Retros.


Everyone knows Tura Satana made Faster, Pussycat, Kill, Kill! figurative and literally. But Oona was a close second choice for Mr. Russ Meyer who decided on Miss Satana due to her natural gifts.


Oona's figure was artificially enhanced by a trendsetting brassiere created by Byanca of Houston. The contraption made the point loud and clear.


In a planet in a galaxy far away...


Queen Amígdala reigns supreme.


Oona's foray into the science fiction genre, Planet of the Babes was a feast for those who love comets and curves.


Whoever Oona really is matters little. Her ability to camouflage and metamorphose makes her inhabit a special place in our hearts.

A Very Gay Birthday

Yesterday, Saturday, October 19, was Gay Carrington's birthday. To mark the event, Dolldom surprised Miss Carrington with an impromptu cocktail gathering of some of her Hollywood friends.
Miss Carrington, who has been busy with shoots, was not planning nor expecting any celebrations.



"I just went out and got myself some pretty things: a new pair glasses and a gorgeous necklace. All in gold - exquisite substance in which my weight is worth."

As Miss Carrington came out of make-up, ready to shoot a highly dramatic scene for a still secret project, a resounding and harmonious "Happy Gay Day!" erupted from behind the Klieg lights.



Almost everyone was there! Madge Francis, the Osborne Twins, Madra Lord... and her young sailor escort. Gay received air kisses and best wishes with an ice cold Martini in hand. Madra coveted her beautiful red dress. "Retros, darling, Retros!"

And then it was time for gift giving!

The Osborne Twins, who were Gay's childhood neighbors and her first adolescent crush, gifted the gifted actress with a vintage Bakelite cherry set. Gay was elated to have her cherries back, as she had lost them in one of her many moves across the country. Gay toasted the romantic gesture with a double Manhattan.



Madra and Madge presented Gay with a très luxe set dripping with gold beads and Colombian emeralds, and a glass of Veuve de Clicquot.



Yet, the finest moment came when the sailor escort pulled out a black velvet box. A long time Gay fan, Madra's sailor escort explained is a most humble voice that he had really wanted to give Gay a pearl necklace, but Madra insisted on keeping that special offering. Nonetheless, le bling that the handsome lad chose for Miss Carrington was truly magnificent - a diamond and citrine set that sparkled like the most magical feux d'artifice.



Gay was touched, yet she saved her tears for the upcoming dramatic scene still to be filmed.

The gentlemen - who called themselves The Gay Boys - begged to stay behind and watch as Miss Carrington emoted for the camera. With such a special audience, the solo scene only took a take, so the happy quartet left together to continue to enjoy the evening in some of the funnest spots in West Hollywood.


Happy birthday, Gay!
