“Butterfly 7”

Saturday, March 10th, 2012

My new wig set for Blythe dolls in baby mohair, is now available for collectors worldwide.
She’s “Butterfly 7” and she’s in a ooak silver-lilac color with light ends.



Mdvanii doesn’t live here anymore.

As I’m packing away into the night, listening to 2001 A Space Odyssey in the background, it creeps me out to no end.
The Mdvanii apartment is all undone. Soon it will be on a boat, crossing the Atlantic.

M.C. for 1972

It snowed today in NYC. All the browns and greys, we so beautifully matte and muted.
For Mary Collins, it was 1972 all over again.

I hadn’t been home in a few months, I had missed interacting with them, more than I care to admit.
Mdvanii is an entirely handmade doll, 10 inches tall, made in Paris in the late 80s. She’s cast in fragile resin, has hand-painted features and human hair wigs. Her outfits were sewn by the same seamstresses that worked at the haute couture houses of that time, using scraps of fabric left from haute creations. Her wigs were crafted by the same artisans that made the wigs for the Moulin Rouge showgirls. She was made in very limited editions, each doll is different and identified by a unique number and name. Very rare and quite expensive, she is the most exquisite and sensually stimulating doll I have ever touched.

[All the Mdvanii wigs featured in this film were made by me.]

From my line of limited edition, luxury mohair wig and wiglet sets, meet “Joyeux” #YLW007. Made in soft, butter blond baby mohair, with a realistic hand tied part, giving the appearance of rooted hair. Available now, at the store.

To Paris, to see shows and enjoy the food.

This ancient little old lady was walking incredibly fast, yet slowly.

Been researching the Petitcollin dolls, made in Paris in the 50s. Strung celluloid bodies, hand painted features and mohair wigs, very light weight and with a delicious satin skin finish. More often than not, they look like children dressed up and padded up to portray adults. I like what I found under the rather exquisite [for their dime store status] outfit.
