With this post I'm going a bit off the realm of fashion in a traditional sense...but hey, who said dolls can't be fashionable too! If ever there was a doll that embodied haute couture, it would be Evangeline Ghastly.
My mother first introduced me to Evangeline Ghastly about a year ago, and I`ve been yearning for one of these hauntingly beautiful dolls ever since

The Ghastly dolls are created by designer Joe Petrollese and sculpted by Robert Tonner, the fashion doll artist. When you see them, you can see how they were influenced by Tim Burton`s The Corpse Bride. They are just the most amazing dolls! Originally made of resin, you can now purchase a more affordable vinyl doll. Evangeline is ball jointed, with hand painted features, and comes in a designer outfit with a wig. Online you can collect a variety of outfits, wigs and accessories for her.

Part of what makes these dolls fantastic is the story that comes with them. Read Evangeline's story...
