Using their 10-inch Cissette and Coquette Cissy dolls, Madame Alexander pays tribute to three African American women trailblazers.

Who doesn't love the thought of warm weather when it is freezing outside!  Last week we braved a winter drive to balmy San Diego, and it was just that.  To quote my good friend who was also there, 'don't bother me, surf's up'....and it was, to 14ft! We had a terrific 2 days of dolls, teddy bears, and so much more. 

So you’re getting ready to order your first BJD. What supplies will you need?

Floyd Bell, master doll artist, began making dolls in the late 1970s. A wood working educator for several years, his “lessons of love” and passion for woodworking inspired the creation of Bell’s first doll.
