The fourth and final reveal was the Fashion Royalty dolls. Jessy Ayala designed two ladies for the Maison FR Paris collection, which, as he mentioned during the presentation, includes the upgrade Eugenia doll and will include one more - probably one of the remaining W Club exclusive dolls. Both dolls were surprises: Korinne made her long awaited comeback and Veronique sports her 1.0 sculpt for this round. Both are available from retailers and from what I am hearing, Vero is selling out fast despite the large edition. She is fifteen dollars cheaper than Korinne.So if we get a bag at US$160.00, we could have gotten one with the Monarch guys, no?

Korinne is finally back! I always regretted not getting her first edition, but I had a budget to adhere to - don’t we all? Then she kind of disappeared from the face of the earth, until now! And what a comeback! She is dazzling! A beautiful gown (even though I’m weary of mermaid gowns, this one looks nice) in a gorgeous colour that compliments her Hungarian skin tone well. The accessories are TDF - mimicking the Secret Garden Eugenia ones! And that face and screening! I’m so happy I was confirmed for her!

Veronique, in her 1.0 sculpt, looks a lot like the most famous Greek daytime television show host, Eleni Menegaki, in her L’Oreal campaign style - google her and see if you agree. And that sums it up for me. Plus, whoever is writing the storylines (Alain, is that you?): you DO NOT go to a front row fashion show seat dressed in a Chanel suit. Not even at a Chanel show. That’s 2nd row dressing at best - third row more like it. For me the best 1.0 sculpt appearance is still, and will always be, Lights, Camera, Royal Vero.
