Collecting Cycle 2025 - Number 7 and Number 8 - The Swans

In addition to their regular fashion capsules, Jamieshow/Owensu usually produces a special edition each year.  2024 was the 15th Anniversary of Jamieshow (even though the re-launch of the Muses line was advertised in late 2020 - released mid-2021).

To celebrate their anniversary, they decided to take a favored 16" special edition and scale it down for Muses.  Here are the "The Swans" - twins Alexis (in black) and Grace (in white).  Here is the promo photo from Jamieshow:

Jamieshow/Owensu really spent some time on the details in this collection!  Although the dolls were purchased separately nude, the ensembles were truly spectacular and included a new foot sculpt for the ballerina shoes.

Here is my photo of Grace.

When Integrity Toys released photos from their Stilettos Out convention last year, I knew that the Lethal Rose ensemble belonged on Alexis.  Here she is wearing it.  She refuses to take it off!  LOL!  I think she looks very old Hollywood here with maybe just a touch of modern goth.

Number 7 and Number 8 of 2025 are "The Swans".

Collecting Cycle 2025 - Number 6 - Jamieshow/Owensu Muses Premier Sasha

I wasn't quite sure how to count this next incoming doll.  I didn't actually spend any money on her, but she is new to my collection.

One of the most fulfilling things about collecting dolls is connecting with other collectors who share your love of this hobby.  One of my best doll friends lives in San Francisco, all the way on the other side of the country from me; I live near Atlanta, GA.    Even though we are thousands of miles apart, we message almost daily.   

One day, I casually mentioned that I had acquired some duplicates of some of my favorite Jamieshow/Owensu Muses and was considering letting them go to make more room.  One of the dolls I was selling was one that he wanted.  He also had some duplicates, so he offered a trade of an older doll I have regretted missing.

So, we made a trade!  When she arrived, she was everything I had hoped.   Here is the promo photo of Jamieshow/Owensu Premier Sasha from 2020.

And my closeup photo of her beautiful face!  

These girls share clothing with Integrity Toys lines beautifully.  Here she is wearing Garden of Excess.  I'm so glad I added her to my collection.  Collecting Cycle 2025 - Number 6 is Jamieshow/Owensu Muses Premier Sasha.
