SO many festive ensembles! Tonight’s centerpiece was the dazzling Milady, standing a proud 22” tall in an positively opulent gown of burgundy velvet with elaborately draped sleeves, golden bodice decoration and shimmering belt. Milady also features green inset eyes and a shining wig of raven tresses. Only 100 of these beauties were made. TonnerCon Exclusive: Milady LE 100 The banquet souvenir is exciting in so many ways: Meet Lady Arabella Bertran, the newest character incarnation in the Déjà vu Collection! The bewitching Lady Arabella lived in Renaissance times, and was an adventurous and powerful woman of the times. At her hamlet’s Fall Archery Festival, the Lady met a masked man with eyes of sapphire and full, dreamy lips, and once their eyes met, she realized there was a magical element between them. A risk taker, Lady Arabella swiftly approached the masked man, and he saw her coming – this beautiful redhead with a playful smile at her lips. She had just about reach him, to say, ‘take off your mask, scoundrel!’ when THWACK! The good Lady was struck with a precariously aimed arrow, and never again took another breath. Introducing Lady Arabella Bertran! TonnerCon Exclusive and New Deja vu Character – LE 300 Dramatic, huh? 😀 Lady Arabella Bertran features, of course the new Déjà vu head and body sculpt, green painted eyes with luscious applied lashes, a thick and lovely mane of rooted strawberry tresses and an ethereal pale sage gown of soft velvet and trimmed in golden lace. She is an LE of 300. Our good Lady was the talk of the ball – collectors could not wait to get her out of her box and play with her! With tonight’s incredible turnout of costumes, the costume contest was incredibly exciting, and the competition was STIFF! Check out the panel below: Costume contest winners Robert also handed out the Collect-O Awards – a time when guests are recognized for their enthusiasm, odd collecting habits, and other unthinkable attributes. 😀 People’s Choice in the Competition Room was announced – congrats to Tamara Casey – and the annual Robert Bordeleau Memorial Photography Award was named – congrats to Lorraine Bonecki!

There was a handsome Prince, who owed the doll company. Prince Robert, he was called. He made sure everyone’s doll dreams came true. And he was the fairest in all the land! …sound familiar? Who says fairy tales don’t come true?! Our last and final event, Once Upon a Time Breakfast, celebrated all things fairy tale! Our lovely event centerpiece is a beautifully rendered Cinderella, featuring the Kay head sculpt and the resource brand new Chic body. The evil step sisters live in a jealous agony, entranced by Cinderella’s enchanting painted blue eyes, creamy cameo skin tone, and perfectly coiffed rooted pale blonde tresses. Cinderella wears an enthralling ball gown of white satin and glitter tulle, crisp white gloves and, of course, her stately glass slippers. This gorgeous heroine of heroines is a LE of just 150 pieces, and turns back into a pumpkin by midnight!
