Integrity Toys had created a Platinum and a Raven version of
A Fashionable Life Vanessa. Being two of the most popular Fashion Royalty dolls ever produced, it was only a matter of time before we got a redhead (even though it took five years)!
In 2010, IT brought us our first "re-edition" with
Flame Blue Vanessa Perrin. She was released in an edition size of 300 (same as AFL Raven) and cost $150. IT wanted to show collectors the value of being a W Club member, so
Flame Blue Vanessa was offered through a lottery to the members of the club.
My best doll friend Reese was just getting into Fashion Royalty products and was not into "formal" looking dolls. I begged her to enter the lottery for me so I would have more than one chance to win. Unfortunately, luck wasn't with me; however, Reese's number was drawn. I was elated.
Flame Blue Vanessa Perrin rounds out the AFL dolls - not twins, but triplets!
I love this Vanessa. When IT does a re-edition, they really get it right!
