Bus Stop Darla Daley

Bus Stop Darla Daley, a photo by alington on Flickr.

My favorite Darla Daley created so far: Bus Stop!

I'm not sure is it's her lovely chestnut hair or her super soft facial screening, but she is fabulous!

This girl includes two pairs of hands--one painted white, as seen here. She has a cool jersey striped dress with cotton trim and tiny button details, plus patterned tights.

She has a gorgeous chain purse, hat with ribbon trim, hoop earrings, and awesome shoes, too, as accessories. And yes, she stands on her own.

Perfectly Purple Poppy Parker

When it rains it pours. Yesterday I received three new dolls from the Poppy Parker line. The first is Perfectly Purple and she is Mary Tyler Moore all the way! I love her. The suit is darling and check out the details on her shoes. The only part of her outfit I don't like are those odd three-part white gloves. This Poppy was a limited edition of 400 (which sold out quickly) and was part of the mainline 2011 collection. She has green forward-facing eyes and medium-length brown hair. Just darling...

Sweet Confection Poppy Parker

She is here and she couldn't be more beautiful. A W Club exclusive doll, Sweet Confection Poppy is the first  to have a tan skin tone. I love her dreamy eyes and the applied lashes. Her fashion consists of a faux white leather coat and matching purse with silver chain handle (my favorite accessory). Her dress has a white ruffled top with blue buttons and blue attached skirt with blue belt. The shoes are blue and the same style as those found in the Jet Set convention Poppy and Darla giftset. The white hose are identical to I Love How You Love Me and Tears Go By. Silver hoop earrings, blue chiffon scarf, sunglasses, and a silver bracelet complete her look.

Pillow Talk Poppy

Pillow Talk Poppy Parker, along with Summer Magic is one of the first two Poppy dolls produced. She was a limited edition of 700 and her purchase price was $70. (Just try finding her for that price now...) Pillow Talk has long blonde hair, brown side-glancing eyes, and coral lips. Her original clothing included baby doll PJ's and slippers with poms.

She's Arrived Poppy Parker

She's arrived Poppy was from the 2010 mainline collection and was part of a giftset which included a pink and white 3 piece suit, a muli-colored print blouse and skirt, suitcase, a Miss Teen New York shopping bag, purse, white gloves, white spikes, and pink sandals. Her edition size was 350. Pieces of the giftset do show up periodically on the secondary market but she is rarely found as a complete set. Poppy has short blonde hair, forward-glancing blue eyes, and pink lips.

Endless Summer Poppy

From the 2009 Jason Wu event is this Poppy Parker doll, Endless Summer. She was a limited edition of 325 and is a bit difficult to locate today. Poppy has long brown hair, brown eyes which are right side-glancing, and pale pink lips. Here she is wearing a Randall Craig Yahoo Group exclusive red dress.

Youthquake Poppy Parker, restyled

Here is Youthquake Poppy Parker with restyled hair by my friend Roberta. Poppy's original hairstyle was a large rolled flip at the nape of her neck. (Very different from the promo photos). Youthquake is from this year's mainline collection and was a limited edition of 400. She is easily available on the secondary market. Poppy has blue side-glancing eyes, pale lips, and carrot-red hair.

Fashion's Night Out Poppy (Bergdorf Goodman)

Released in a limited edition of 200 for the 2010 Bergdorf Goodman's Fashions Night Out event, this doll is not technically part of the Poppy line. She is the first to have applied eyelashes. She has long brunette hair worn in a braid, blue side-glancing eyes, gold eyeshadow, and pale lips. Her fashion, designed by Jason Wu, is a replica of  one of Wu's 2010 line.

Ask Any Girl Poppy Parker in Bellissima Couture

Ask Any Girl Poppy Parker was part of a giftset available at the 2010 Integrity Dark Romance convention. She was a limited edition of 425. Poppy has brown hair, green side-glancing eyes, and pink lips. Her nail polish matches her lip color. Poppy is wearing "Cotton Candy" by Bellissima Couture. The fashion consists of a coat trimmed with gold buttons, a slim sheath with silk bodice, and a matching hat (not shown).

Simply Simpatico Darla Daley, restyled

At today's 12" doll meet my friend Roberta shared this Simply Simpatico Darla Daley doll who's been restyled. I love this hairstyle on her. Her hair's been washed and combed out and she's been given bangs. She is wearing Poppy's In the Air dress.

OOAK Poppy Parker by Sarah

Here is a former Pillow Talk Poppy Parker re-rooted by my fellow doll club member, Sarah. She is re-rooted with two shades of long brunette hair. With her original facial screening she looks perfect in just about anything. Here she is wearing Barbie Basics jeans and tank top.

Coney Island Poppy in vintage Barbie

This is Coney Island Poppy Parker dressed in vintage Barbie's Picnic Set blouse, hat, and jeans. This ensemble fits Poppy perfectly. Her tennis shoes are from the Holiday in the Hamptons giftset. (The tennis shoes were also issued with Endless Summer). Coney Island originally sold for $80 and was a limited edition of 600. She has brown hair with bangs and a curly side-ponytail, red lips, and brown side-glancing eyes.

I Love How You Love Me Poppy Parker

From the 2011 line is this Dolls' Magazine exclusive, I Love How You Love Me. She appeared on the cover of the February issue. She was a limited edition of 300 and came in a giftset which also included a coat, nightgown, slippers, gloves (impossible to put on), extra white bow, white blouse, and a red jumper. The embroidered detail in the dress is quite pretty. Poppy has light blonde shoulder-length hair, blue side-glancing eyes, and pale pink lips.

Good night, sleep tight

Today's Poppy doll is Summer Magic from the 2009 line. She is one of the two first-ever Poppy dolls produced.  (The other is Pillow Talk) She has brown eyes, pink lips, and short red hair. She is wearing the nightgown from the I Love How You Love Me set. Her bed is from the 1950's Mattel Modern furniture line, restored by jennygrey.

Poppy Parker in Randall Craig

Reluctant Debutante Poppy Parker

From the 2009 line is this Poppy Parker doll, Reluctant Debutante. She has shoulder-length black hair, blue side-glancing eyes, and pale lips. Her original ensemble includes a yellow hair ribbon, faux pearl earrings, a white faux fur coat, light blue dress, a tulle slip, long white gloves, nude hose, and yellow closed-toe spikes. The shoes are a bit too wide for her feet. Considering her edition size (700), this Poppy should be relatively easy to find, however this is one of the hardest Poppy dolls to locate on the secondary market.
