I went to all of the Gene events at FAO Schwartz in NYC and was started on my path of collecting fashion dolls. Mel was always such a pleasure to meet and talk to about our passion for dolls.
It was a very special time and I cherish the memories and my collection!
One of my favorite pieces of my gene accessory collection is a cardboard trifold mirror that was given out at one of the events at the store. It has served as a backdrop for many of my photo shoots of dolls over the years.
It just doesn’t seem like it was so many years ago.
