All Hallow's Eve - Dreary Style

The Dreary twins have captivated Dolldom since their very first appearance in 2007. And this Halloween 2022, they are back! In this Dolldom exclusive, Agnes and Viktor share their love for anything and everything spooky.

As the day begins its descent into dusk and candles begin to flicker, Agnes and Viktor Dreary escape to a corner of the garden...



My Witch Wish
"Dinner Doldrums" Agnes Dreary gets her witch wish with a fantastic hat by Peggy Feltrope.

Little Ghosts

Viktor imagines that his broken frozen Charlotte dolls are ghostly creatures sprouting from deep inside the Earth. 

The Greatest Showman

Viktor in a shirt, tie and pants by The Doll Workshop's Andrea Jacques and a hat by Peggy Feltrope, shows off his ghoulish menagerie. 

Let's Face It

"Minor Conundrum" Agnes loves a mask - just not on her face. Her vintage zombie lady will go trick or treating, on her hand.

La mosca mortal

Viktor leads his pack of Thetis Lake Monsters by Stexe on a nighttime excursion to the pond in LizRetros' The Fly get-up.  

Bzzzz...

Sweet Little Witch

Who's behind that mask? 

She's not saying! But everyone around her knows...

Monster Trainer

"Odd One Out" Viktor Dreary tames the beasties.

But the Enfield Horror by Stexe has gotten away...and on Halloween! 

This Halloween entry closes with a little ditty composed by the twins and enacted by their beloved friend Cuculala, an antique porcelain headed mignonette.

As I walk by the forest grand

So full of green amphibians

I realize it's time again

To make my introduction!

A casque of moss, redolent most

Of buried leaves and chestnuts,

Adorns my thoughts so hollow.

For I'm the grand Cuculala,

Cu-cu-la-la forever!

In light or dark 

You'll hear me chant

I am the grand Cuculala,

Cu-cu-cu-cu, Cuculala,

Cu-cu-la-la forever!

Happy Halloween!

Which Way to the Beach?

Looking at the calendar with blurry vision, Myles Magpie clears his eyes to realize that it’s his day off! No wedding cakes or dresses today! Not missing a beat, Myles slings on his bikini briefs as if he has thrown a ball in the air and caught it. The sun is out and it becomes quickly very obvious to Myles that he hasn't tanned in quite some time. Walking through the parking lot a man catches Myles’s attention. Rubbernecking so hard, Myles trips over a grate in the concrete and falls. “That was a pretty graceful fall!” - a kind voice from behind him says with a bit of a chuckle. His name is Malekai and he reaches  out his hand to help Myles up. “Looks like you will survive!" - he adds with a smile. Myles stands up and embarrassingly brushes off the dust and with a mischievous smile says: “Which way to the beach?” 

“Which Way to the Beach?” Myles Magpie is a limited edition of 50. Myles is 3-D crafted in resin and comes with his bikini briefs and towel. Up for Preorder on October 25th!

Oh, Orlando!

 JAMIEshow Doll Muses continues its inspired presentation of 1/6 scale BJDs coded as male. Made of beautiful matte resin, the dolls' heft and articulation, paired with exquisitely detailed face-ups and body blushing, create a truly luxurious doll. The idea of offering separate wig caps increases play and fantasy value as who has not wanted to change hairstyles and hair colors to make an outfit really shine? 

This entry is dedicated to "Dangerous Love" Orlando, one of the handsome characters of 2021. In looks styled from a variety of sources, Orlando is a scene stealer.

Natural Wonders

ValeyofDolls' unique take on men's sartorial design is nothing short of jaw-dropping, in fact, it's magic: the colors, the materials, the accessories. No detail is left unexamined. And who better to model this miniaturized couture but the men of Menagerie's Marmite Sue by Eli Effenberger?  

In ValeyofDolls' immaculately constructed fashions, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus Baby find their apotheosis of style becoming three essential elements of nature: air, water and fire. 

Fire

Changeant Dupioni silk is the foundation for this halter style with attached cravat. 

The headpiece, also by ValeyofDolls, is a daringly amazing way to announce the evolution of the hat. Wig by Chewin Doll.

Air

A gorgeous sapphire blue stretch panné velvet, becomes an innovative take on the classic pairing of slacks and turtleneck top.

Top favorite of many of Dolldom's human denizens who want it in their scale.  Wig by Chewin Doll.

Water

Emerald sparkles. Glittered lace over tulle gauze tank accompany charmeuse satin wide-leg slacks and it's not an obvious pairing. In the expert hands of ValeyofDolls, it becomes a work of art. 

The matching swimming cap is the perfect illustration of ValeyofDolls' playful aesthetic. Wig by NuminaDoll.

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?"
