Michael Evert, my old college friend who sculpts the originals for high-fashion mannequins and dolls, sent me a wonderful collectible from a doll convention. It's a letter "written" by Gene Marshall, a doll based on movie stars of Hollywood's Golden Age. The letter is written to her parents in Connecticut and tells of her plans to move back East (to New York) from Hollywood. This parallels the buyout of the Gene Marshall doll line by a New York company.
The letter is typewritten and comes with a matching envelope. The letter and envelope come in two sizes: human- and doll-(see lower right of photo). Posted by Picasa
