		<description><![CDATA[Following Mel Odem&#8216;s sad announcement that the Gene Marshall line will be retired in June of this year Integrity Toys have released news of a collaboration with Gene&#8217;s original makers, Ashton Drake, in order to bring to the world the last ever Gene doll. Here is what it says about her on the promotional web blurb: &#8220;From her cleverly styled sophisticated up-do down to her couture evening gown, Gene Marshall is a vision that would make the camera of any famous Hollywood movie director point her way! Butterfly Shadow Gene Marshall comes complete with a breathtaking evening gown made of hand-printed fabric. The fitted bodice nips delicately at the waist and has contrasting detailing at the neck and wrists. The gown&#8217;s full gathered skirt features a romantic organza overlay that creates sweeping volume. Two &#8216;flower&#8217; corsages of pink roses used as a brooch and also in the hair give just a burst of color to offset the black and white print. Earrings, high heels, a doll stand and an exclusive certificate of authenticity hand-signed by artist and creator of the famous Gene Marshall Collection, Mel Odom, round out this fantastic offering.&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally got my hands on a Jason Wu/Integrity Gene Marshall Color Deal doll last week after hankering after one for a while ever since glimpsing photos of her online a while back. Luckily some crafty stalking on eBay finally bagged me one at a very reasonable price. As soon as I got her out of the box I knew that I had made the right choice – she is gorgeous! The Marilyn-esque strawberry blonde bubble cut is wonderful and frames Gene&#8217;s face to perfection, making her even more photogenic. The dress she wears is a highly authentically styled fifties dress with a full skirt, which flares attractively, and finely detailed draped bodice and an amazingly to scale zip fastening at the back. Her shoes are the old style Ashton Drake strappy number in white. Accessories such as a versatile white chiffon scarf, white gloves with pearl detail fastening and matching &#8220;leather&#8221; belt complete the ensemble. Enjoys this pics I took!]]></description>
