Silkstones : Stylish, sophisticated, and sometimes scandalous ...

This is the perfect description for the two Silkstones dolls i have in my collection. I know, they're not 80's or superstar era but they're gorgeous, they were gifts and i love them!

I've been wanting this doll for quite some time now. But i would have never bought it myself, so it was such a big and happy sursprise when my friends got it for my birthday !! 


What can i say about this doll... Joan Holloway... big big big fan. 
First, of the show of course. Mad Men is by far one of the most interesting and creative show on TV at the moment (the wait for season 5 is killing me!) 

And after that, of Joan Holloway herself. She is sexy, clever, has a strong personnality and attitude, and the perfect dresses ... oh and she has red hair just like me! Needless to say i've been identifying myself with her completely !! (er... right ;)

I only have two silkstones so I'm not used to them yet, and i'm amazed with the quality of the dolls! The fabric, the make up... simply gorgeous!

So anyway, here she is !

I only took off the protections over her hands but I'm keeping them safe.


The doll was bought in England.




















The other doll, I got from my father at Christmas. I think she is really beautiful as well!

The box is a bit used as well as the silk paper inside as i used to display the doll

The doll was bought in France.





I haven't taken them out of their boxes, and i don't know if i will. It's tempting because it's a lot nicer for display... but you know... the eternal debate.
