Integrity Toys announces the lastest new Gene Doll!
It's a Cinch Gene, LE 200 pieces, coming January 2010
Mel Odom announces Gene's retirement!
Hey Kids,
This is a letter I've been writing in my head for quite some time, but have not been able to actually put down on paper.
It's a tough letter to write and I've been pretty emotional about it. (Big breath) I've been feeling lately like it's a perfect time for Gene and her friends to retire.
I've been working on Gene since 1991. That's when the first drawings of her are dated and I'd probably had her in my head for some time before that.
The point is, she's been a consuming interest of mine for close to 20 years. It's been the most detail intensive project of my life and certainly the most fun.
I've been given much because of Gene; acclaim, financial security and the best bunch of friends and collectors anyone could ever expect from their profession.
It's been an amazing journey for me- completely different than what I had imagined.
This year, we've had a really wonderful collection, with awards and popular triumphs and a great sense of energy among you guys.
I've really enjoyed it. It's been amazing. And the Hollywood Royalty minis being a hit was just the sprinkles on the cupcake for me.
I just think it's always better going out a winner, while you are on top.
This is the thing...I want to do something else.
I'll be (gulp) 60 next year and feel like there are other things I can accomplish if I can devote my full attention to them, like I have done with Gene.
I've practically ignored my first loves, drawing and painting, for far too long. For twenty years before Gene, I was known as an illustrator and graphic artist.
I don't think I can go back to being an illustrator; that's over for me. But I'd like to be known as a painter and I'd like to maybe teach art. As some of you know, I've been knocking on the doors of art galleries with my paintings for the past few years and am not about to give up on that particular dream of mine.
I feel like I have enough time for one more great phase in my career, even though I'm not positive what it is.
Gene is in my head and heart and nothing I can ever do will change that.
She's always been with me in some form and will stay with me and very probably morph into another phase of whatever it is I do, paintings maybe.
But I've always had to change every so often, like when I stopped focusing on illustrating and created a fashion doll.
This is one of those times. So Gene and I are pulling a Garbo, and retiring, but not without a fabulous sendoff.
I have gone over my plans with Integrity and we all want to make sure that we have a proper celebration for Gene and her friends (both plastic and human).
I have really enjoyed working with Integrity and making these past few years some of Gene's best ever.
The Integrity team and I are planning one last, big blowout for all of us -
a 15th Anniversary convention to celebrate Gene and all her friends, to be held in early June in Philadelphia.
And for this special party we're creating one more collection,
"The Stardust Collection", a curtain call of sorts for all of our characters, and get this... including Trent.
Ashton Drake is graciously allowing us to use the original molds to create one more classic Trent for the party.
So, Trent will be there and Oona and Ivy and Violet and Madra.
I'll be there and hopefully everyone will be there, to celebrate 15 years of the coolest thing to happen to fashion dolls since high heel feet.
Facts and forms will be forthcoming, but I wanted to tell you all this personally.
There will also be a special Gene happening in early 2010; you'll be privy to the information later on. It'll be fine, you'll see.
Gene will be a perfect 15-year long phenomenon in the doll world, a story with a humble start and surprise ending- a beautiful arc of stories, characters and costumes that changed the doll world. And as long as Cher and Barbra Streisand are in this world, there's always a chance of a comeback somewhere down the road.
I'll still be blogging; the W Club has happily agreed to continue to send all of you my "Mel Mail updates", right through the big party in June.
Later on, I'll be blogging from my own website
www.melodomart.com, which should be completed and up soon.
Any of you who are interested can come along with me for the rest of the journey as well. You're all invited.
Thank you for everything and remember to always....

She's instantly known by only one name: Barbra. Her inimitable style and personality are captured in this wonderful portrait doll, inspired by her early fame. She wears an iconic outfit, a striking re-creation of one she designed herself and wore at Hollywood's Coconut Grove in 1963.

Barbie at Toronto Fashion Week
I was lucky enough to attend a great fashion show last week at Toronto Fashion week that featured a collection by Canadian designer David Dixon that was inspired by Barbie! The clothing was really gorgeous, and totally wearable. Of course, lots of pink, but also black, white, grey and cranberry and some wild shoes! More Pics.On the first day alone, Barbie dolls, t-shirts, Barbie by Foxy jewellery, MP3 players and more flew off the shelves!
This is a two month initiative (for the moment) and now is your chance to check it out and bring out your inner Barbie girl! In addition to merchandise targeting women, you will find an exhibition of Barbie by David Dixon's designs that premiered at Fashion Week, Glenn Dixon's furniture and home decor and beautiful displays of designer Barbie collector dolls."
I had a chance to pop in the boutique and it was super pink of course! The furniture is awesome and they had fabulous Barbie rubber boots (in adult sizes) for under $30. The displays of designer dolls were great, from Christian Dior to more recent designs such as by Tarina Tarantino.March 7th , 2009/ le 7 mars, 2009

"Michelle Obama's Inaugural Ballgown Designed by Jason Wu First Lady Michelle Obama looked stunning in a white chiffon one-shouldered ballgown designed by Jason Wu. The first thing President Barack Obama said when he spoke at the Neighborhood Ball was "First of all, how good-looking is my wife?" 26-year-old designer Jason Wu considered himself a longshot to be the inaugural gown designer selected by Michelle Obama. Wu told WWD that he was "amazed and awestruck" when he saw his dress on TV. Like most of the other designer styles worn by the First Lady in recent days, Jason Wu routed the gown through Ikram Goldman in Chicago. He whipped up a one-of-a-kind ivory silk chiffon dress with silk organza flowers, Swarovski crystal rhinestones and silver thread embroidery. At home with friends Tuesday night when he first caught a glimpse of his confection on TV, Wu said he was "amazed and awestruck." "I had no idea," he said. "I found out with everyone else which was pretty fabulous when you think about it." Michelle Obama's inaugural ballgown will be donated to the Smithsonian, which is a tradition."
