Deboxing Georgina Devonshire

One of the best things of collecting is de-boxing a new doll. And today a very special lady arrived. Georgina Devonshire, the new Kingdom Doll 12 inch resin doll from the Monarchs collection.

I never opened a shipper so fast and WOW. This is so good. Every detail is high end. I love how the ladies of Kingdom Doll pack their beauties.

 

The certificate, the box with the gold label and the ribbon, it’s all so glamorous.

And then there she is.

Perfectly secured in foam.

That face is soooooo Good.

 

Now let’s take her out and put on her wig.

What I love about her wig is how fine it is. The hair is very soft and looks a lot finer then the hair you see on our Barbie dolls. And wow the body !!!! I love the blushing and she pose so easy.

When I look at her I just can’t believe she is a 12 inch doll. The details are so amazing.

And look at her shoes !!!

Now it is time to have some fun. I am not a real redresser but this doll makes me want to play. So instead of putting her into the gown she came with I want to try on something different. I have a Victoire Roux Dior Inspired Gown and a Rimdoll Gucci inspired gown that I want to try on.

 

And I have to say the fit is great and Georgiana Devonshire – Covent Garden looks good in everything !!! Will try some other looks on her later this week.

One of my fiends who got her sister Georgiana Devonshire – La Scala just send me some pictures of her beauty. And I just have to share the picture of her shoes. They are clear resin with a red glitter !!!!

The Monarchs

This Thursday it is going to be a very exciting day for Fashion Doll collectors. Kingdom Doll is celebrating their 5th Anniversary !!!! And they are going to celebrate this with the release of their much anticipated new 12″ resin doll line, The Monarchs !!!!

The first lady that Kingdom Doll is releasing is Georgiana Devonshire. She will come as a blonde and a raven. both limit in an edition of 50. And dressed in an iconic Kingdom Doll gown.

Georgiana Devonshire – Covent Garden

Georgiana holds her breath for a moment as she peeps out at the audience from behind the sumptuous crimson velvet curtain. She has chosen to perform the Flower Duet from Delibes’ Lakmé at tonight’s charity event, her first appearance at Covent Garden in almost two years. Quickly checking her reflection in the antique mirror, her pale aqua blue eyes framed by charcoal shadows take in the soft pale pink lip, sparkling iridescent bead earrings and the formality of her pompadour variegated blonde hair softened with cascading curls which fall over her bare shoulders. Smoothing down her architecturally structured black silk satin gown, she takes a final deep breath and steps out onto the stage to rapturous applause.

Georgiana Devonshire – La Scala

To follow in the footsteps of legendary opera singers could be seen as daunting, but Georgiana takes this challenge in her stride. So it was with supreme confidence that she made her debut at La Scala. Performing a favourite aria from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, Georgie’s appearance has been carefully planned to accentuate the drama of her performance. Her raven black hair and scarlet lips contrast perfectly with her pale skin, giving her an ethereal quality under the stage lights. The choice of a sculptural crimson gown, with it’s stunning golden breast plate, is a nod to her Chinese heritage to bring her good luck and infuse her performance with majesty.

So as a collector how do you get one of these perfect little angles. The price for these dolls is $650 plus shipping. They will be for sale Thursday 31st January at 6pm UK Time. You have to send an email at 6pm to info@kingdomdoll.co.uk. And in the subject line write either La Scala or Covent Garden. Yes once again it will be about making “choices”, which hopefully will enable more collectors the opportunity to purchase these dolls. Only one email per customer.

I fell in LOVE with these ladies when I saw them at the Kingdom Doll convention last year in Edinburgh. I am not a redresser but these girls want me to become one. I love it that they can wear Barbie fashion like the Silkstone collection. Here some more amazing pictures by Kingdom Doll where you can see how amazing these two little ladies with a huge fashion attitude redress.
