Friday begun with a Poppy Parker luncheon. It was announced that next year's Poppy main line release will be spy-themed. Spy movies were the new and popular genre in the 1960's so it fits Poppy well. Also remember that She's Not There Poppy was wearing an Avengers Emma Peel costume. The line is named "The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y", after the great TV series of that decade, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.". Two new Poppy dolls greeted the guests, one as a centerpiece and one as a gift.

Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Exclusive Centerpiece
Lovely Poppy as usual. The skin tone is a bit tan. The embroidery and colouring remind me of the last two Dolce & Gabanna collections.

Poppy Parker™
Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Exclusive Giveaway
Another beautiful doll here, minimal accessories, basic fashion but her face is gorgeous.
The dinner had a theme: it was the Fashion Royalty Feud Game Show Dinner with Mark Tinkey. People were picked to participate from the audience, competing on their knowledge of the two teams: team Natalia vs. team Vero. Prizes were awarded to the winners of course. Two dolls again greeted the attendants: the centerpiece and the giveaway.

Natalia Fatalé
2013 Convention Exclusive Centerpiece
This is a much better looking Natalia then the convention collection one! Correct me if I am wrong but it is the first time she has the flame red hair. We had red-haired Natalia dolls before, but they had darker tones. She reminds me of many things: Rita Hayworth (both hair and dress cut) and Magnetism Monogram come to mind. Great dress and shoes too. If there were "gems" instead of flowers, the jewellery would be great too.

Dangerous To Know
Kyori Sato™
Dressed Doll
2013 Convention Exclusive Giveaway
Finally a Kyori Sato that looks positively Asian. I know the cheongsam /qipao dress is a bit stereotypical but I love the silhouette it creates and she is fierce! Great accessories too, but she should have had a cuff bracelet as well. And if you noticed, the no-bag trend continues.
