As a kid, my holy grail doll was this Gene Marshall doll. It was the epitome of glamour in my tiny eyes and I had her on layaway for most of a year at a tiny, posh doll store.

Sometimes I'm sad that these dolls have been so forgotten.

today's fashion doll is: Gene Marshall Crème de Cassis (1998)

Scored this nude Gene Marshall Barbie for like $30. Not that I need more dolls but I’ve always kinda wanted one of these designer Barbies, and they’re usually much more pricey. She’s 16in tall too which is fun. I dunno if I have anything that’ll fit her but fingers crossed!

EDIT: the seller also had the original outfit for sale, so I bought that for $20. So $50 for a fully dressed Ashton Drake doll, not bad.

today my grandma very generously gifted me the remainder of her old doll collection as she doesn't collect anymore- I'm sorting through them still, but first I'd like to introduce this gorgeous redheaded Simply Gene!

my grandma grew up in the time of golden era Hollywood movies and you can tell how much she loves them in her choice of dolls. there's a lot of movie barbies as well!

'is that a gremlin?'

Just bought my first gene Marshall doll on eBay!! She’s the one wearing a 40s war uniform. She came up for auction in-box, complete, for a good price.

This one. I’m excited!!!

Hello everybody I’d like to wish a #happy4thofjuly to my friends followers who celebrate it it. I’ve uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel starring the glamorous #genemarshall. Please check it out it would mean a lot to me. Image Description: a screenshot of a #genemarshalldoll dressed in #4thofjuly inspired outfit. The boarder around the photo has fireworks on it and says Independence Day. The video’s text reads BC’s Doll Place: Happy 4th of July 2023 (With Subtitles). #genedoll #genedollfashion #genedollclothes #genemarshalldolls #dollphotography #ashtondrake #ashtondrakedolls #ashtondrakedoll #america #dolls #15inchdolls #dolls #collectorsdoll #vintagefashion #independenceday #america #melodom

Gene Tierney doesn’t need help either, but she’s getting it anyway. As mentioned above, she has the ethereal, almost eerie beauty that makes you understand why everyone’s obsessed with her in Laura.

But she’s also so striking that Ashton Drake had a huge line of “Gene Marshall” dolls that were clearly named after her, with a vague but certain approximation of her likeness. The outfits were riffs on movie costumes and Hollywood fashion from several actresses, but this one (which I own) is directly taken from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir:

She’s just otherworldly and I love her.

Propaganda

Gene Tierney (Laura, The Ghost and Mrs Muir, Leave Her to Heaven)— The class, the elegance. The way she walks into frame and immediately all focus is on her. She had a pretty lengthy struggle with mental health that she describes in her book, which I think made her all the more sensitive in portraying characters like in leave her to heaven. Also she dumped JFK so

Carmen Miranda (Down Argentine Way)—has anyone submitted the fruit hat lady yet

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Gene Tierney:

The entire plot of Laura is that a guy has to become completely obsessed with a woman after just seeing her portrait. This only works because Gene was cast in the role. I 10000% believe anyone could fall in love after seeing her face.

Those eyes! Just look at those eyes! She’s at her hottest in Leave Her To Heaven— I literally want her to ruin my life.

Absolute grade-A babe, she is the perfection incarnate.

Gene Tierney was beautiful, poised, intense. I associate her with roles where she was murderous or an intelligent woman being patronized to - like a woman on the edge! As far as I am concerned, she deserved to do whatever she wanted.

She had a slight overbite which was amazingly sexy, and a throaty voice that was very memorable as well. She’s terrific in Laura, which reminds me I should watch it again.

EYES!! Her diabolical acting in Leave Her to Heaven is just perfect, Rosamund Pike definitely took notes for her Gone Girl from her.

Oscar-nominated and simply one of the most beautiful women to ever walk this Earth.

Absolutely stunning. In Leave Her to Heaven, she reaches Rosamund-Pike-in-Gone-Girl levels of “holy fucking shit?!?!?!” She had a fling with JFK in the ‘40s and also dated the exes of Rita Hayworth and Hedy Lamarr (Prince Aly Khan and W. Howard Lee, respectively). Sadly, her daughter was born with a disability (during a time in which there were few good mainstream options for disabled children and their parents), likely because of a fan who was sick with measles and went out of her way to meet Tierney (who was pregnant) anyway. Topical! Sure would be good if people stayed home when they were sick! Anyway, she was also a Republican, which sucks. Laura and Leave Her to Heaven are great viewing though.

Two very similar patterns, I thought it would be fun to make them together to see the differences. The teal faux corduroy version ended up being much more elaborate. I’d started these earlier in the year and set them aside, which turned out to be a good thing because I changed up nearly all my fabric selections for the denim overall outfit. 

I got the fully functioning doll sized overall clip sets from French Fashions, which is my favorite doll fabric and notions shop! The top stitching on the tinier pieces had me about losing my mind lol. I used a satin presser foot as a guide for 1/8″ but I think this is something I just need more practice. I also learned how to do an embroidery chain stitch for one pair of the work gloves. 

All together, I think these two projects are a success!
