The fourth Dolly Day revealed a Fashion Royalty doll: Glamour Coated Elyse Jolie. She is part of last year’s Maison FR collection, which raises the question if she was designed along with the other dolls that make it up (Le Tuxedo Eugenia Perrin, Enamorada Naralia Fatale, Siren Silhouette Korinne Dumas and Little Day Ensemble Veronique Perrin) and she got delayed like Natalia (who broke the record I think, being late even more than Mothership Dania Zarr). She does have a different photographer though. Whatever the reason for including her in that line up, she is now available through right to buy lottery for W Club members.

Yes she is a beautiful doll. Yes, Elyse looks fresher than ever (I first thought she was Giselle while opening the email), even with a hairstyle similar to Vendetta Agnes. Yes, her outfit (and particularly the voluminous coat) is exquisite. Yes, she has gorgeous accessories (the bag reminds me of Bottega Venatta’s Casette but with a diagonal grid). But why does it have to be Elyse again? Especially in a year that Veronique and Eugenia are missing in action? When we got two of this character already in the year (yes, the second one is a convention doll, but still). It has a whiff of that Jason Wu anniversary, when all the special dolls released for it were Elyse - there were probably more dolls of this character released that year than in her entire line up until then. Jessy dear, there are so many other wonderful Fashion Royalty characters available: Isabella, Tatyana, Kyori, Isha, Luchia, plus the aforementioned Veronique and Eugenia. Maybe a second Adele 2.0 even. I did enter the lottery for her, as she is beautiful - and the combination of dark hair, pale skin and red lips is always attractive to me. I like me some Evil Queen vibes (no, not that snowflake Snow White darling).
