Ashton Drake Gene Doll " Love Paris ", 16" MIB, Gorgeous doll! # 76063

Description

This is a sale of the Gene Doll "Love Paris" by Ashton Drake Galleries.  As you can see from the pictures this item is in Mint condition and APPEARS NEW.  The hands do not appear to have any marks or staining, and the face is free from marks or blemishes
.  The outfit appears to be free from any snags or stains, HOWEVER I DID NOT REMOVE the doll from its tie down or box so I do not know what the back of the outfit looks like. The carrier white box and tissue paper seems to be in good condition.  Inside there are 3 plastic bags with various accessories. 1 has a purse, 1 has a Large Pink Hat, and 1 with a booklet and
documentation in it. The outer shipping box is included in this sale.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM NOT A BARBIE or GENE DOLL EXPERT, AND I HAVE INHERITED ALL OF THESE FROM A DOLL COLLECTOR.  I will answer any questions to the best of my ability, and have posted pictures that I believe are the most important to the quality and originality of the dolls.
PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES FOR CONDITION AND CONTENTS :-)
Please also see my other auctions and save on shipping!

Story Card
Henry, the kindly doorman at her New York apartment, greeted Gene with interesting news as she stepped from the studio's limo.  "Two large packages from Paris arrived for you today, Miss Marshall," he said.  "I'll send them right up to you."
Curious, for she wasn't expecting anything, Gene opened the first box and gasped with wonder.  There, neatly folded amid colorful sheaves of tissue, was a jacket and circle skirt of the softest dove gray silk tweed with dashing black accents.  Drawing it out, she gasped again...what an innovative fashion design!  So flattering, so feminine, such a new, fresh look!  A fine vellum letter fluttered out from the sweeping folds of the skirt, and with mounting curiosity, Gene read the brief note..."You are an inspiration, a breath of fresh air.  I hope you like wearing my newest fashion.  Love, Paris."
The second box contained an elegant rose suede hat and accessories to complement the outfit perfectly.  Gene immediately decided she would wear this remarkable fashion creation the orphans' charity fundraiser the next afternoon.  As she had hoped, the press went wild over this revolutionary new fashion when she walked into the room.  The media attention brought a storm of publicity to the orphans' charity, making this fundraiser their most successful ever.  Gene's secret admirer never came forward...but every year after that, Gene unfailingly sent a bouquet of perfect pink roses to a certain famous Paris designer in gratitude and admiration.
