Thanks guys! It's my first prize ever and I'm really honoured and happy about it. Although I still can't believe I got selected with the other 4 winners in the category being so amazing. Don't think I really have a change in the Public's Choice part of the contest, but at least Mirrorball will be featured in the July issue and that is wonderful! :)

Congratulations, Emilia. I didn't attend the charity raffle but I have a feeling that your doll was the most stunning and creative one of all. You are a winner!

I am very happy to announce that the OOAK Inamorata doll Mirrorball that was presented in IDEX charity raffle this year has won a 2013 Industry’s Choice DOLLS Awards of Excellence (DAE) in the category of One-of-a-Kind Doll with value more than $1,250.

The winner were announced April 12 at the Debut of Dolls Banquet held at IDEX in Orlando, Fla. Each entry in this year’s competition was evaluated by a panel of judges: Doll industry consultant Pat Burns, doll writer and historian Penny Herbst, Simon Farnworth of DollObservers.com, author and DOLLS contributor Stephanie Finnegan, DOLLS editor-at-large Jill Jackson, and Modern Doll President Patsy Moyer.

The Industry’s Choice winners become the nominees for the Public’s Choice awards voted on by DOLLS readers. Check out the photos of the nominees, ballot, and online voting instructions in the July 2013 issue of DOLLS magazine.

Wonderful pics Terri and happy you found the hand switch so easy. I have tried some Liv doll wigs on Inamorata but they are too big (OK for Sybarite Inque). With a silicone cap they sort of stay one though, but I prefer my wigs really tight fit. Here are some pics of Inro in restyled Liv wigs.

I put expressive hands on Inro today. It was so easy to make the switch, I didn't even need my tool! I just love staring at her. I'm hoping that her eyelashes don't get all mashed while I play with her. I'm using one of those sample mascara brushes (from Sephora) to keep them brushed out.

I have lots of wigs that she has to try on. Unfortunately most of them are for Sybarite but I know that I have Avantgarde sized wigs somewhere. I've never had a Liv wig. Don't they have weird plastic things on them?
