Due to the convention being held late in 2021, the unofficial Dolly Days tradition was moved to January 2022., to the joy of all W Club members. The first day gave us members the opportunity to: a. order replacement bodies from a variety of types and skin tones offered (unfortunately FR bodies had only Hungarian ver. 5.0 and sun-kissed ver. 6.0, so I got one of each that I needed and there were no FR white available NU Face ones that I needed). and b. pre-order a small variety of FR and NU Face bodies (here we could pre-order FR white ones for Fashion Royalty but not for NU Face - why was that?). All lines were pretty much represented, with The Industry, East 59th and Meteor having the most variety. There was a small selection of FR Homme ones (no dark A tone one unfortunately) and Monarch ones too.
The second day gave us the 4th W Club exclusive doll - and it is Poppy Parker, another Palm Springs Collection entry! Let’s check her out!

She is a beauty! The doll has lovely colouring - the earthy tones make her quite special. I must say I am happy she does not have pink lipstick, that would have been a deal breaker for me. The hairstyle is more Ariana Grande than Palm Springs and here I wonder why we do not get any of the more elaborate, blown -up, overly decorated hairstyles we saw in the late sixties - the addition of a hairpiece would have been awesome as well. We have seen plenty of ponytails, it is time to move on. The sequinned top and pants are dazzling and match perfectly with the fur coat, which is a colour variation of the one we saw in the convention style lab - I do not mind! Love the accessories too, especially the earrings - and we get two pairs of shoes and both high-heels and articulated ankle feet!
