    In 1990 Can Can Katy won "Dolls of the Year Award " with Doll 
    Reader magazine for "Doll Design Concept of the Year". I was
    very excited until they told me one of the stipulations  for winning
    was to give "Doll Reader" 7 of these dolls. I was devastated!!  I  
    was naive thinking I would not win and was entering for the 
    publicity.  I paid dearly for it!!

     Rose with leather body, jointed at neck, shoulders,
     elbows,  wrists and hips. In order to show collectors 
     how these dolls were made, I took this doll in her 
     corset.  I was asked if she was for sale and ended up 
     getting 40 orders in the corset.
