Helloooo!?! Still anybody there?
The German Dolls-scene is just very heavily working on demolishing its last remains - and this works like that: Some years ago in Eschwege we were very astounded because in the Cafeteria of the big
Dolls Exhibition we could watch a woman who (on ignoring all other people) was holding a Reborn-Baby-Doll to her therefor naked breast nipples for "feeding purposes". Very strage, indeed.
This year in Münster at the International Dolls Spring this action has nearly been topped - by a sort of flashmob of hundreds of mostly young women barricading nearly all exhibition booths and all
the spaces between with modern prams, which were packed with huge lots of Reborn-Baby dolls. No way to get through. These actions tortured the nerves of not only the collectors of high-end artist dolls
but of the artists as well.
Some of the artists claimed at the management to stop that mess. And what did the officials do? Gates closed - exhibition terminated. The Dolls Spring is now history. Who pays any interest into the arguments of some
high-end dollsmakers and -collectors - as everybody knows that these last dinosaurs are more or less starving away in the near future. The Reborns instead are a hit, as it seems.
In the only remaining dolls magazine there were no articles or even statements about it - as if the Dolls Spring never ever has had taken place. By-the-way: The owner of this magazine seems to have some sort
of "panem et circensis" (Bread and games) in mind, because he also publishes a magazine for bread ("Brot") in Germany. Such people have been responsible for that exhibition. Nothing left to say.
The "Reborners" are not really to be blamed (they just are mad about a special sort of dolls). Leokadia Wolfers, the manager of the Eschwege festival, has found a much more professional way
to handle that problem. Unfortunately that exhibition is not "first choice" in our opinion.
As a result: In the future we will meet you in Amsterdam, Kiew, Mosque (...if they're not playing stupid wargames at that time...), Riga, Prague (if possible)... but perhaps never again in good ol' Germany. So sorry.
But don't worry - we're still the rock in the flood: News (!!!) at the artist dolls and (because there is no place left for Heidi Plusczoks Final Edition's Aurora and Liv at the Artists Dolls) also at the Manufactured Dolls - take a look!
