Chateau Christmas Party

The Easter Kitty

A Look Inside the Chateau

Frankie Says

  I'm a handsome baby. ✨

  Frankie is a good boy. His worst flaw is that he licks me. I have to kick him out of bed for that. I can't take the licking. 😝 He was on the rooftop of Marie's Chateau, they think there is a monster on the prowl. 

  Trumpy fish has cleaned all of the scum from my aquarium. I've had real algae problems in that tank. I had no idea Bubble Mollies were better housekeepers than catfish and snails. There are three cats in that tank, none of them work as hard as Melania and Trump. Who knew? 

 

Donatella's Fashion Show featuring Stevie Nicks

Get Stevie & the Entire Collection

Stevie Nicks in Red Hot

 Donatella's collection is finally complete, and Stevie is rocking Red Hot. Stay tuned for the fashion show at Marie's Chateau and your chance to grab the entire collection and Stevie for yourself. 

Welcome, Juno!

Dawn in Vintage Goddess

Donatella's final piece is a real show stopper, Dawn wears Vintage Goddess. Stay tuned for a special doll to complete the collection, the fashion show at Marie's Chateau, and to be the one to score them all. 
 

Penny is Warm & Fuzzy

 Donatella is scrambling to catch-up with Penny Brown in Warm & Fuzzy. She's hoping her Yuletide collection will be ready for the new year. She'll be working with Kevin, next on Wild Man. Stay tuned... I just scored a Canadian collection with a dark haired Dawn clone like my Glori I so enjoy. That set comes along with some clone and handmade clothes besides a Rock Flower that I will be customizing to sell along with the latest collection. Happy Holidays!

Rosemary in Yule Love It

Donatella is working away at her Yuletide Collection, and Rosemary has never looked so festive in Yule Love It. Think we're going to watch Sherazade on the free Marquee TV, (Coppelia wasn't that good), with some Italian white wine, (losing weight cutting back the red wine and cider), and get started on the next piece: Warm & Fuzzy... Stay tuned for Donatella's holiday fashion show at the chateau. 

Marie's Chateau

Just picked up a new Lagoona. I am not fond of this new piranha Lagoona. I liked the Aussie. But, I'd gotten a Cleo Skulltimate Secrets locker, who I call Fatra, and am very impressed. I liked the new Lagoona Fearidescent locker, so am really looking forward to a new season of O, My Ra! I've lots of new players besides chompy Lagoona and Fatra like: Elvira, Mistress Dark, teaching Cinematagraphy, Anna Nubis, Sketi Yeti, and Heath Burns.  

O, My Ra!

Yes, We're Not Proud got cancelled, but O, Hex! and Doll Pot had also gotten cancelled too: you never really know. 

I've no idea what is up with the funky text with this post. I give up. 

Happy October

 

Donatella's Winter Fashion Collection: #1 Glori in Modwinter

 There will be another holiday fashion show at the chateau. Dinah moved to Texas saying she couldn't spend another moment in Commievania, so Donatella has taken over her dress shop. She was also lucky to score Peppermint Kiss from her last show that has sold out. Donatella is one groovy girl, though, so it might be alright. Dinah was really a cowgirl at heart. Donatella kicks off her new collection: Donatella Does Yuletide with Glori in Modwinter. Glori is a special doll, and I like her so much that I might try to get one of those seventies Diana Dawn Doll clones if she's anything like her. Obviously, Glori has a Dawn Doll head, but her body is a Hong Kong clone which I like more than Dawn or Pippa dolls. It is very supple, easy to dress, no green, split knees, nor peg legs. Also, it is more realistic looking, curvier, with bigger breasts, hips, and thighs, but she still fits all the clothes. Trying to Return to Marie's Chateau, a lot has happened since we left. Emma and Punch have moved. An entire coven of Darcinians, led by Prince Lucifer, has occupied the chateau. Doll Land and Commievania has become even scarier since preconvidian times. They're trying depose of Bloody Mary, but that's like getting rid of The Kid Smeller. We'll see. In the meantime if you missed out on the last collection: Dinah's Christmas Collection

Worry Dolls

 I had these as a kid, I either bought them at the mall at The World Bazaar or on vacation in California when I was nine, can't remember which. They're from Guatemala. You tell them your worries at night before you fall asleep, and they take them away. A couple of years ago my girlfriend sent me a bigger set in an organza bag for my birthday, but Ron just got me these same ones I had as a girl in San Antonio. This is the photo he took with his phone from the store display. Says they're made by Mayans. I plan to use them when I Return to Marie's Chateau as I now have a proper coven of Darcinians led by Prince Lucifer, himself, so the Pippas have lots to worry about...

Return to Marie's Chateau

Pinocchio

 Pinocchio and Florence, the little Italian doll I won at the doll show, are camped out beneath the chateau. I've started quite the Pinocchio collection by accident, but I've always been partial to the fairy and the cricket. This is my third, Italian. He's porcelain and Venetian. I also have a Venetian jester and try to score them when I can for gifts. Plus, I have the original wooden one from the forties, I believe, and an I 💗 Italy one, besides two Del Toros: the set and a 3D printed one. This one will be joining the cast at the chateau, lying and causing trouble.
