Lukas Maverick has quite the little reputation on the streets of London. He’s known as “Gorgeous” for more reasons than one.

Born in Amsterdam, Lukas moved to the UK when he was old enough to have tasted the no-holds-barred culture his native city has to offer. Lukas is well versed in the various arts of physical pleasure and never misses a chance to have fun with someone new. When his family moved to London two years ago, Lukas missed the thrills of his native city and wished he could go back; but that quickly changed when he was head-hunted by Kyori Sato to become the first male on the modelling team of Missima Cosmetics. Lukas doesn’t miss his hometown so much anymore. His taste for mischief and being surrounded by so many cute girls all the time simply took over. For the moment, Lukas is the new and only face of Missima Men, a line of after-shave products that promised to reduce the burning sensation of shaving but has in reality caused more allergic reactions than the Missima chemists care to admit.

Still, Lukas enjoys the attention for now; but his is an unstable persona, and who knows where this young heartthrob will end up next. Will he start hanging out with Pierre and Francisco in Paris? Will he stay put in London? No, no one thinks so. This boy has way too much ambition and wants to take the world by storm!

Current Status: Managed to make his dreams come true and created the Nu.Face Agency. Just like a seasoned pro, Lukas leads his girls to the top of the modelling industry!
Best Friend: Whoever’s around right now
Foe: None. (Lukas doesn’t stick around people long enough to make any.)

Love Interest: Hum. Cough. Cough.

Mentor and Personal Guide: Kyori Sato (He views her advice as gold.)

Loves: Pleasure

Hates: When he’s not the focus of attention

L’Enfant Terriblé, with green eyes, bright red hair in a side-parted ponytail and black nails, has an incredibly daring look

The Cissy fashion doll by Madame Alexander was first manufactured in 1955 and was described at the time as “the doll with the figure and features of a debutante, is the newest and most exciting doll in the world.” She featured a more adult body shape, arched feet for high heels and articulation previously unknown at that time. She was, in fact, the forerunner of fashion dolls as we know them, including Barbie who came along 4 years later.

It was with great interest then that I learnt Cissy was to have a makeover thanks to uber-designer of dolls Jason Wu and his unique talent and vision. The collections he has come up with are divided into two: the ‘NEOCissy’, which is futuristic and edgy and the more classic, 50′s flavoured, ‘Cissy Collection’. Both collections consist of three dolls each possessing an increased level of articulation due to 15 joints. The dolls therefore lend themselves to more realistic poseability and are 16” and 21” in height respectively.

Both Jason Wu collections will be available at FAO Schwarz and online at MadameAlexander.com as soon as August 2010.
