The Man Of The Orchestra by The Corréa Sisters - and some Tonner dolls
Enjoli and Sophia Corréa, twin sisters from New Jersey, are making their dream film come true, through Kickstarter: Enjoli will be the director and Sophia the star of The Man Of The Orchestra, a glamorous story about the human nature of greed and how it can change you. The premise of the film is as follows:
A young woman, Olesya is blackmailed into framing Rick, a mysterious man for her own theft at a charity event for the American Troops at War. She falls for him but what unfolds along the way just may have him killed.
Here is Enjoli in her video, talking about the film:
So why is the film mentioned in a fashion doll blog? The sisters had a great idea: make dolls to accompany the film, portraying the film characters, to give away to Kickstarter benefactors. They contacted Tonner Doll about the dolls and the company accepted to make lifelike collectibles of the leading man and woman wearing replicas of the costumes chosen. With the long list of famous films the company has produced dolls for, the sisters have an ace up their sleeve already.
Story board by Enjoli Corréa
Stats of the dolls:
Hand painted To the likeness of the leading woman and man
2 lbs, 16" tall each
custom packaging
Replica costumes
Comes as one doll of choice or as a set
Made to increase in value as production grows
The dolls are available in the following pledge levels:
a) at $240 for one character doll (plus $10 if shipping outside the US)
b) at $250 for one character doll plus digital movie pre-order (with a handwritten thank you letter)
c) at $550 for both dolls or one doll plus another exclusive non-doll premium gift (shooting script or premium coin set).
d) all higher pledge levels feature a doll in the list of gifts accompanying it.
If you want to support without getting a doll, you can and receive a Handwritten Thank You Letter for $10.
Story board by Enjoli Corréa
The dolls will be designed after casting is done (backers will have a say in the casting too). Shipping is estimated for March 2015. The Kickstarter campaign ends on September 16th so, if you want one of the dolls, you'd better hurry. More details on the campaign page here. Every supporter will weigh in on casting decisions, costume design (the official costume designer is Lena Mossum, who has dressed Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, Harvey Keitel, and Demi Moore. She will design all costumes from scratch and backers will vote to help select the costumes for the movie), and be thanked in a live stream Thank-A-Thon after the campaign. Backers will be charged at the end of the campaign on September 16th, 2014 only if the fundraiser reaches or passes its goal. There's no charge if the sisters do not reach their goal.

Size Defies When It Comes To Steiff's Adorable Woolen Miniature Mice!
With just a handful of summer left, Steiffgal thought it might be fun to take little look at one of Steiff's legacy products that truly would fit in the palm of your hand! It seems that everyone just loves Steiff's woolen miniatures, and for good reason! They are completely adorable, gorgeously designed, and of course, don't take up too much room (which tends to be an issue the larger one's collection becomes!) Perhaps the cutest - in Steiffgal's humble opinion - woolies are Steiff's tiny mice. Check out this tiny two-some and perhaps you'll agree as well!
![]()
Size defies when it comes to these lifelike, miniature master pieces! Here we have an albino white mouse and a grey mouse. Both are cataloged as 4 cm, made from wool yarn, are standing on all fours, have long tails, and are head jointed. Their petite feet, which each have four toes, are made of peach colored felt. Their tiny faces come to life with airbrushed-highlighted felt ears, playful whiskers, bead eyes, and pink painted noses and mouths. The grey mouse on the left was produced from 1931 through 1943 overall; he also came in white and brown. The white mouse on the right was made from 1949 though 1984 overall and also came in grey.

Both mice sport IDs which are appropriate for their era of production. The white mouse has a tiny raised script button and article number 7354/04 (suggesting a specific 1968 through 1984 manufacture date) while the grey mouse has a tiny trailing F button and article number 2504,1 (suggesting a specific 1937 through 1943 manufacturing date.) These items never had chest tags, and as far as Steiffgal can see, no woolen miniatures ever did. However, a handful of woolen miniatures are perhaps the only items in the entire Steiff history of production that did not leave the factory with a “button in ear.” Even birds, which clearly lack ears, had a button securing their label around their leg. Woolie ladybugs and hedgehogs do not, and never had, Steiff buttons. There was simply no place to attach them. But their look, feel, and manufacturing make them undoubtedly Steiff.

It is always fun with Steiff to track how designs change - or don't - over time. This is especially true with beloved and popular items that are produced over a long period, even decades... as is in the case of these mice! In general, with these two babies, it is clear that their core, basic pattern did not change over time. And, given that both mice weigh 5 g, that the critical mass of the pattern remained constant over time. However, there are a few very subtle differences between them. These include:
Now their tails and whiskers. These differences are most likely attributable to materials available on hand at the time of their production, as well as manufacturing improvements to those materials over the decades. It is most interesting that the older grey mouse's tail, which is made from a stretchy material, has not dried out, cracked, or fallen off - which happens alot with older rubber items.
Steiffgal hopes this discussion on Steiff's tiny woolen mice has made a huge and happy difference in your day!

- Their length from nose to fanny. The white mouse measures 5 cm while the grey mouse measures 4 cm.
- Their tails. The white mouse has an 8 cm tail made from solid peach colored rubber. The grey mouse has an 8.5 cm tail made from grayish-black stretchy elastic, like an elastic band. You can see a close up of their tails in the photo above on the left.
- Their whiskers. The white mouse has numerous long, flexible, clear whiskers, while the grey mouse has just a handful of very short, stiff, brownish whiskers.
