Making My Doll People Friends Happy!

April 07, 2019

From the very start, about 1999, I wanted to spread the word about what adult fashion doll makeover artists and fashion designers were doing! When I first found these talented people, there was no outlet for them to show off. This was pre-Facebook, and all we had were websites, webrings, and emails. But I managed to get subscribers for Designer Dolls Magazine from 14 different countries around the world. Because it was for them! Sure, I took some pleasure in it, but it was always about inspiring other potential doll artists, and, most of all, making them smile! Fast forward to present day, I found that most of the makeover artists were aging now, the beautiful fashion dolls available today certainly need no makeovers, and social media has produced instant gratification junkies, taking from the thrill of waiting for their designs to be in print. I mean, it became more and more difficult to get people to send me articles and photos in July for...

I'm Not Saying It's a Miracle, But ...

I’m not sure why nobody came up with this “little fix” for the very annoying slippery doll stands out there. And let’s face it – they’re all slippery - whether they're metal, plastic, acrylic, or wood! And maybe it’s not as annoying to many doll collectors as it is for me. But I’m doubting that. It’s been an issue for me for about 20 years. Picture it: You’re all excited! You just bought a new fashion doll! You put her on a stand you bought (because, believe it or not, most Barbie dolls don’t even come with stands anymore!) And she slips a bit. She looks great! You love her! You adjust her pose. And she slips a little … again. Her head is not quite looking at you correctly. You adjust it slightly. And the damn thing SLIPS … AGAIN! O.k., now Picture this: You open up The Mat, cross your fingers that this is indeed “the fix” you’ve been dreaming of for several years no...

Karen McGuire: I began Designer Dolls Magazine (a fashion doll customizer's dream!) in 1999 and had subscribers in 14 countries! Printing costs were high, so I went on hiatus and began the Magazine again in 2012. Again, it was a hit! But with the gorgeous fashion dolls coming out at the time, makeover artists were becoming a thing of the past. I wrote several "fun" books on fashion dolls and designed many outfits for my precious little companions. All the time I was attempting to improve the fashion doll stand, and, in fact, create a better one. But when I realized that the "slippage" was 90% of the problem, I decided to focus there. And THE MAT was born! It's absolutely the greatest little fashion doll stand accessory you will ever use! And once you do, it will become essential for all of your doll stands.
