Until this year, I avoided the Monogram line. I only had four. I had no intention of adding any more. Then Integrity showed their IDEX line.
Such a departure from anything Integrity Toys had done. She was very intriguing.
She comes with nicest silver shoes. They are a little big for her feet however.
The jewelry is wonderful.
An argument ensued about the inspiration for this ensemble. Some believed it was based on an Alexander McQueen outfit:
Others believed the source of the inspiration was vintage Revlon Fire and Ice.
The doll being based on model Carmen Dell'Orefice.
Out of the box, I believe the doll represents a little of all three.
There was A LOT of product in this doll's hair. It had to be washed out.
I guess I am a fan of big hair. At least in this case.
Another amazing example of Integrity at its best.
The first time I've had a Monogram in my favorites list. But this just isn't any Monogram. #11 is Allure Monogram.

Hello from Spain: this doll is gorgeous. I love her hair and clothes. Your collection is awesome. Keep in touch
WHAT are you doing to me?! You know I sold this doll. I had my OOAK Carmen made from a FR2 Elise, and I love her. But with her hair washed out, this Monogram is pushed right over the TOP! Now I want her back!
Wow!! You are making me want a Monogram!?! So far I have said no! Yikes! Your blog may cost me some$$. I am really enjoying it.
