Gene IS Blonde!

Gene Marshall, to me, is blonde - I know she has had every hair colour imaginable, even pink, but I see Gene as being a natural blonde. The studio have obviously given her some help here with a touch of peroxide but I think she is pretty fair-haired to begin with.

Having said that, I wouldn't like Gene to not have the option of changing her hair colour as that would be pretty boring for both us and her but I do tend to have more blonde Genes than any other colour! I really want a nice brunette/raven haired Gene now but the two that I do like are pretty hard to find and expensive as they are an FAO Exclusive and a Wu Club Exclusive ... I think I'll just hang-fire and see what the rest of 2009 brings!

'Vixen' Gene is modelling the 'Ladies Who Launch' outfit - one of my favourite suits and maybe the best shoes yet!

Smouldering Seduction

Even though the Sybarites are my main passion, I do still 'dabble' in Gene (love vintage fashions and the glamour of the 30s/40s/50s eras). About a week or so ago I bought this gown off ebay specifically for Violet - it was a steal at around £17.00, even if it did reek of smoke and cheap perfume - Ugh!

Anyway, I got round to dressing Violet today in this gown and I think she looks beautiful in it. It is not an official Gene gown but is off a Tonner Daphne Dimples doll called 'Smouldering Seduction' - I had to check their archives (and was shocked to find that the dressed doll originally retailed at $229.99!)

I felt like taking her picture and even though the Integrity Gene line have articulation, I found it quite a lot different to photographing the Sybarites (who are natural-born poseurs and can adopt the most life-like of stances). I want to try and do 'more' with Gene and her fellow studio friends/colleagues, hence this blog!
