Jason Wu Event IX - Part Deux

I can't believe that in two weeks I will be in Florida at the Integrity Convention.  While I was composing my blog last week, there were many dolls that I appreciate that did not make my list of top 12.   Since the convention is still very much on my mind, I thought I would share some of those other dolls.

So, I decided to include some of the other "best's" from previous conventions.

Behind the Drama Agnes represents the best evening presentation of a doll from a Jason Wu Event.  The gown and full length white fur coat are just extraordinary.  

This doll has always reminded me of Nicole Kidman for some reason.  

I believe the best casual doll from a convention was the Curiosity Monogram.  I think this dress is amazing.  I hate that the bigger bust girls cannot wear this dress.

Unfortunately this doll suffered from being released during the same convention as Optic Clash Dania (see last blog).  They are quite similar in face up.  She is one of the best Monograms released to date; however, the Dania is one of the best dolls ever produced.

I believe Smoldering was the best Monogram released at a convention.   I had wanted a true African American Monogram for years and was so excited to see this one!

The gown is gorgeous.  The doll was so classy!

It was very hard to choose the best NuFace from a convention.  I was stuck between Masterpiece Theatre Giselle and Making A Scene Erin.  I don't even really care for the Erin mold, but the entire presentation of this doll is awesome.  I've never redressed her!

She is the perfect punk girl!

Next week, I guess I'll have to figure out who my travel doll will be.   That'll be an interesting blog!

Jason Wu Event IX

Today, I realized that in less than three weeks I would be at my first doll convention EVER.  Time sort of sneaked up on me.  I'm beginning to feel a little excited, but also a little apprehensive about the money that will be spent.

In some ways I hope the collection isn't phenomenal, so I won't return home with buyer's remorse and an empty pocket book.  In other ways, I am hoping it's everything I can imagine.  With that said, I decided to put together my "Best of Jason Wu Event Dolls".  It took me a long time to narrow it down to 12 dolls that currently reside in my collection.  Without further ado.

#12 - 2011 Jason Wu Event VIII:  The Silhouette Collection/Fauboug Saint Honore Victoire Roux.   This doll really rekindled my collecting last year.  I usually go into a new line kicking and screaming, but the vintage appeal of this girl couldn't be denied.  She is wearing the suit from Foreign Affair Giftset.  (Note: I dressed the girls in some of my favorite Integrity fashions.)

#11 - 2009 Jason Wu Event VI:  Optic Clash Dania Zarr.  This doll is stunning.  I haven't even been able to take her out of her box yet.  She takes my breath away.

#10 - 2010 Jason Wu Event VII:  Smoke Screen Dania Zarr.   Many people don't like this doll's eyebrows, but I love everything about her.  She has a more mature look and is so elegant.  She is wearing Silver Society.

#9 - 2009 Jason Wu Event VI:  Diamond Society Eugenia Frost.  Another girl still NRFB.  What can I say?  Her presentation is perfect.

#8 - 2007 Jason Wu Event IV:  The Royal Weiss Agnes Von Weiss wearing Hopelessly Captivating.   This Agnes gets some of the most playtime at my house.  She looks good everything.

#7 - 2009 Jason Wu Event VI:  Luxe Life Vanessa.  Vanessa is one of my very favorite molds, and I was seriously surprised that only one made it into my top 12 - but what a doll to be included!  She is one of the most regal dolls Integrity has ever produced.   She is wearing Purple Factor.

#6 - 2009 Jason Wu Event VI:  Blue Blood Elise.  Someone in the W Club described their feelings about Elise in a perfect way.  He said, "Integrity made him change how he defined beauty in a doll with Blue Blood Elise."  I love this description.  Here she is wearing Femme du Monde.

#5 - 2009 Jason Wu Event VI:  Silver Zinger Agnes.  This doll's raised eyebrow is pure genius.  One of  the most unique faceups on any doll.   Five dolls from the Iconic Convention made it into my top 12.   I hope this year's convention will rival Jason Wu Event VI.  I will come home a very happy FR collector.

#4 - 2004 Jason Wu Event I:  Cosmetic Takeover Natalia Fatale.   This doll will always represent Natalia to me.  She is so sexy and sultry.  I have owned many Natalia dolls, but this is the only one who stays.  She is wearing Riveting Premiere.

#3 - 2011 Jason Wu Event VIII:  Bare Essentials Collection/Integrity Direct Day Dania Zarr.  I was very surprised that this mold took 25% of the spots in my top 12.   I am really hoping there will be a Dania Zarr at this year's convention.   Day is wearing one of the best Integrity Little Black Dresses - Flawless.

#2 - 2008 Jason Wu Event V: The Muse Adele.  This doll is another doll that tests a collector's view of beauty.  I think she is the best version of an African American doll ever produced for an Integrity Convention.   Here she is wearing Wrapped in Decadence.

#1 - 2008 Jason Wu Event VI:  Fine Jewel Eugenia.  I paid more for this doll than any doll I've ever bought.  She is perfection.  Wearing Lap of Luxury, I believe she represents everything that is Jason Wu - class, elegance, fashion, beauty.

I hope you liked my list.  I do have one more though.  Here is the "Best Jason Wu Event Doll That I Do Not Own":   High Drama Eugenia from 2007 Jason Wu Event IV. Photo property of Integrity Toys.
