Welcome to the Dollhouse: Viktor & Rolf Dolls

I like dolls. At one point, I was collecting Jem and the Holograms dolls from eBay. You know, reliving the childhood period. The most expensive doll I bid for was Aja Leith doll in mint condition (the lead guitarist and also the most rare, if you’re no familiar) for USD$179 and I won it before I sold it off again for a profit. LOL. Then, I got into my Barbie phase - in particular, My Fair Lady figurines. Yes, my love for the film and Audrey Hepburn extended to plastic versions.

However, I think these Viktor & Rolf dolls look like the Bride of Chucky in couture. Viktor said, “Every garment is like a couture garment. Everything was scaled down — the embroideries, the prints, all the accessories.” No matter how freaky they look, I’m actually quite into them at the moment:

Possibly my favourite of the lot.

Pretty in Pink violins. There’s a black doll. Where’s the Asian?

I love the detailing on each doll. NO! Don’t be a “YES” woman.

Ooh, nice locks. You don’t get these clothes with Barbie.

Now, that’s one Asian lookin’ doll. Or Japanese. I love youuuu too.

What’s with the suspension?
