Welcome to
the Pygmalion Society. We are harmless group of random lunatics who
delight in creating and appreciating miniature, artificial life. Although
this obsession centres on Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls for many of our members, we
also enjoy similar simulacra, such as action figures and antique dolls.
The Pygmalion Society
Midwinter Masked Ball
Advance notice of an
event that will be happening later this year.
Date
Sunday 14th November 2010, 12-6pm
Venue
Upstairs at the Yorkshire Grey, 2 Theobalds Road, London, WC1X 8PN.
Features
Here are some proposed events for the day. As we are still in the planning
stages, this list might change as we approach the date. We will keep you
posted.
 |
Dolly Doctor on
Call:
An experienced dollyholic who will offer a limited number
of appointments to ailing dolls. Treatments to be offered might include
restringing, wiring and sueding. We propose that there be a small donation for
an appointment with the Good Doctor. |
|
Costume contest:
A
contest for the best-dressed doll in attendance. Voting will be by the other
guests at the Ball and there will be a small prize for the winner. |
|
Souvenir photo
booth: A corner of
the ballroom for taking well-lit photos of your lovelies with a fetching
background and props. Or make a small donation and have one of our in-house
photographers do it for you. |
|
Bring and buy
table: Bring in those
wigs and eyes that no one at home wears and go home with armfuls of other
stuffs. As this is a small, relatively informal event, we will not have
dealer's tables. |
|
Raffle:
Each
ticket-holder is automatically entered into a raffle for dolly goodies. |
Admission
Admission will be by
advance ticket only. These are £10 each and include a buffet lunch.
They can be ordered from madammaumau"at"nachtzikrus"dot"co"dot"uk (obviously,
you will need to change the "at" and "dot"s to the real thing when addressing
your email. I just don't want an inbox full of spam).
This is designed to be a
not-for-profit event. However, any profit that is inadvertently made will
be donated to Cancer Research UK.
More information on this
event will be posted as the site develops. Check back later!
