Dolly Dingle was the happiest paper doll at the NJ shore this week! She proved that she could do anything, whether it's romping at the beach or playing video games at the arcade! (Well, as long as she doesn't get wet! LOL) She was a perfect travel companion, and hopes to travel with YOU soon, too!

WHO Likes Dolly Dingle?!
Dolly Dingle is a contemporary of Rose O’Neill’s Kewpies, and was born in 1913. She resembles the Kewpies, and has the same fat, rosy cheeks and wide, almost googly side-glancing eyes, but where most of the Kewpies are cherubs or babies, Dolly is a little girl. Like O’Neill, however, Drayton enjoyed a lot of commercial success.
Review: My Experience with The Virtual Doll Convention
My name is Ellen Tsagaris and I am an author of doll books, doll collector, doll blogger, doll maker, museum curator, and doll historian. I have worked with and know many of the participants of this unique online convention, and do my part to support and encourage it. We just finished the second, very successful Virtual Doll Convention, (VDC) held June 19-23, 2019. Let me pause to say that June 19th is my birthday, and attending this convention was the ultimate birthday present. Its organizers helped make doll collecting the positive, creative hobby it was meant to be. As one who loves doll history, I'm thrilled with the presentations and the knowledge behind them. I loved the videos and souvenirs, too. Best of all, Virtual Doll Convention proved yet again that dolls bring the people of the world together in a positive, loving light.

Hello Conventioneers! You probably didn't realize that your registration to the VDC also includes a trip to Germany - sort of. But don't worry, you won't need a passport, and you certainly don't have to speak German to join in the fun!
