For this photo shoot, I chose one of the first Fashion Royalty dolls I ever purchased. She is from 2004 and was the IFDC doll from that year. She was released in an edition size of 500 and cost $125. She is one of the few Veronique 1.0 mold versions still living here. She is Diamond Dusted Veronique Perrin.
She has borrowed the swimsuit from her sister Chic Escape. I originally bought this doll NRFB, along with two others, at a doll show here in Atlanta. She was part of my actual first Integrity Toys purchase but, unfortunately, was sold during my divorce. It was a painful sell.
But, with patience, a few years later I was able to purchase the head from Ann in Florida with a partial re-root. I gave Vero a tall body, so I'm not too stressed that I don't own her original pantsuit ensemble. When I was uploading photos, I realized I forgot to put in earrings - but who goes swimming in earrings anyway, right?
When I review my collection, I just look at Diamond Dusted and think … "This is where it all started." Even without eyelashes, I believe she is one of most beautiful dolls who resides here.
