With the sad announcement about the end of the Gene line in 2010, I have been going a bit 'Gene-ga-ga' and have been on a spend-fest, buying dolls that I like but have passed on for whatever reason. Think everyone is going on a catch-up mission now ... good thing that I am not into the Ashton Drake Genes!One of these purchases is 'Blue Parasol' who I bought nude (I do actually like her dress but was more than happy to be able to get sans outfit, as she is sold out everywhere)
She really is a beautiful Gene, and my new favourite blonde (well 'Distant Venus' is more silver-grey!) she reminds me of Betty Draper from 'Mad Men'! Maybe 'Liquorice Crush' Madra is Joan??!!
The gown is one that I won at my Doll Club Event last September. It is a Joe Tai dress and is really nicely made - again a bit too long - but I suppose it is better too long than too short!
'Blue Parasol' is modelling a gown by Joe Tai, 'Icicle' necklace, earrings and diamond cuffs by Facets, and mink stole by Dimitha. The crystal chandelier is a Christmas tree ornament.
