February is a fun month! Super Bowl, Valentines Day, and Winter (I love winter). I made the loose theme for this issue about winter, what we do and what we dream about. I love the contributions that I received! And looking at the fashions - well I need to go shopping for some more fun clothes. I hope you enjoy the Photo contest entries. The judges had a tough time choosing - I haven’t had a three way tie for first before! Now it is your turn. The entry photos are on pages 33 to 45. Choose your #1 and #2 choices by March 1 and email directly to editor@thestandmag.com. The #1 choice will be on the cover of Issue 18. One vote per person please.

Photograph Requirements

You will need to include 2 photographs; one full length and one close-up in front of a plain background. The photo needs to be full resolution with a quality setting of “high” or better. Because of the large size, you will submit photos directly to editor@thestandmag.com – you will need to make sure your submission number is in the “subject” line.

Most Innovative Artist Award

Innovation is creating an original concept that did not exist in the hobby before and that changed or changes how collectors pose or dress dolls. Our 5 judges are taking this prestigious award very seriously in choosing a list of the industry’s most creative artists for consideration. Their requirement is to nominate artists by answering these questions: name the innovation, how it impacted the industry, and why it’s important.

3rd Annual PHOTO CONTEST Entries Theme: Paris, Then or Now I really enjoyed hosting this year’s photo contest. The quality of the entries were so good that I was not surprised at 3 photographs tieing for first place. So I asked my back-up judge to be the tie breaker. The choice was hard and I want to give kudos to all of our entries. Each photographer was asked to give a description of what their photo depicted, which is shown on each entry on the following pages.

The Eiffel Tower is the greatest Paris sightseeing stop. But at first it was described as the ugliest building in the city. The tower was a subject of controversy, drawing criticism from those who objected on artistic grounds. Weird things can be unaccepted now, but sooner or later they can become famous artworks. Strangeness doesn’t mean tasteless. doll: PULLIP AKEMI BY GROOVE Photographer POLINA KOVALSKA Our judges choice 2nd place winner, Stephanie Butts will receive $100.00. A portion of her essay is below:

Quasimodo had a huge head, bristling with red hair and was hideously deformed. He had a giant humpback, a malformed blind left eye and a horny lip over which one tooth protruded. He was also deaf. when comparing himself to the beautiful Esmeralda, ““When I compare myself with you, I cannot help pitying myself, poor unhappy monster that I am! I must look like a beast to you. You, a sunbeam, a drop of dew, a bird’s song! I am something frightful, neither man nor animal, something harder, shapeless, more trampled upon than a pebble.” Swinging down the facade of Notre Dame by rope, Quasimodo rescues Esmerelda from hanging, shouting, “Sanctuary!” doll: BEASTIE BY TRACY PROMBER Photographer STEPHELLAB

Now it is your turn to vote! The Public Choice voting will be open until March 1st. The winner will be announced in Issue 18 of the STAND on March 31, 2019. The winner will receive $200.00 plus a free registration to the 2019 PNW BJD Expo. email editor@thestandmag.com with your vote (one per person please).

PARIS OPERA HOUSE, 1881 Lead soprano, Carlotta, unsettled by all the mysterious incidents that have been happening, refuses to perform that evening, and storms off stage. Desperate to find a replacement, the theatre managers recruit a young chorus girl, Christine, to sing the lead instead. She has a beautiful voice and has secretly been tutored by none other than the fabled Opera Ghost, the Phantom of the Opera himself…. and he watches as she sings the aria…”Think of me!”. doll: FID IPLEHOUSE BIANCA & REX Photographer MARTHA BOERS

Marie Antoinette was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. She was known for her desire for extravagance and excess and was a symbol of fashion and beauty. I’ve captured the lavish lifestyle of Marie Antoinette in this image being waited on, literally hand and foot, being dressed and served by her attendants as she eats her cake. doll: NICOLE, CAROLINE & STELLA BY NIGEL CHIA Photographer DEBORAH HOOD

It is impossible to think about Paris and not think of designer boutiques, the storied fashion houses of Hermes, Chanel & Dior. And of course the crown jewel of many fashion houses is their incredible Haute Couture designs. This is a fashion shot straight from the runway with a gorgeous handpainted gown by the incredibly talented CHO:LO, a true Couturier “prendre plaisir” doll: FASHIOIN ROYALTY KYORI, REPAINT BY PARK Photographer WIL HEROLD
