The Story:
One thing that Agnes von Weiss had always excelled at was taking inspiration from (and credit for!) someone else’s ideas. Now that the AvW lifestyle brand was in full swing, her “inspirational” forces were running high. She had been vexed by the success of W Cosmetics’ Sirène campaign. So, when it was time for AvW to release its new cologne, Agnes came up with an “idea”… “I think we should do a mermaid!” Agnes exclaimed in the staff meeting. Lilith, who had been splitting her time between modeling and her ever-increasing influencer and PR job at AvW, kindly mentioned that W had recently done a mermaid campaign. Agnes cut her off. “Not a mermaid -- a mer-man!” Agnes said, making it seem like it was obvious she had thought of something completely different. Despite its origins, Lilith didn’t hate the idea. And she had the perfect model in mind -- her friend, Thiago Valente. Thiago was handsome and built; he had an appeal that reached both men and women. Plus, he would do anything if the price was right. And he never put up a fuss. He would be a great face for AvW! Then, she had another idea -- what if they packaged the cologne to look like a message in a bottle, just like the prop for the photoshoot? "You're a genius!" Agnes exclaimed. They made the photoshoot into a big spectacle near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It drew all kinds of onlookers who stopped their day to catch a glimpse of this perfect merman. The crowds and the staff fawned over Thiago, who flirted back with literally everyone. The results were perfection. Thiago and the stunt created a big “splash” for AvW, with so much buzz brewing that he was starting to get mobbed everywhere he went. The campaign put AvW on a new level. And Thiago was now the season’s “it” guy. Agnes was thrilled. Lilith was thrilled. Agnes’s investors, including billionaire Alexandre Beaumont-Durand, were thrilled. There was one person who was not thrilled though -- Véronique Perrin. She called an emergency meeting of the W Cosmetics staff. First she had to deal with Missima’s underhanded dealings, now she had Agnes copying her every move, and getting even more glory! -Designed by Jessy Ayala

As I had mentioned when reviewing Violaine Sirène, mermaid dolls are not really my cup of tea. They look beautiful and fun, but I collect mainly high fashion dolls, and any “fantasy” dolls I own are quite adjacent to that realm. So cutie Thiago will not make a dent to my doll budget this time. Even his non-mermaid outfit is beach bum territory. His hairstyle limits his versatility to redress and restyle. So, once again, I am happy for those of you that were expecting such a doll but no, thanks.
The box of course matches the one done for Violaine.
