Invasion of the Guys


Captain Frederick Stein

I’ve had this wedding day Edward for some time and had not decided what to do with him. A couple of months ago I decided to turn him into a new character. He is now Captain Frederick Stein. He is the proud captain of a large cruise liner belonging to one of the biggest companies in the world. I took his photos in front of a picture of The Oriana circa mid 80s. This is a ship I was fortunate enough to travel on myself in 1986. 

Captain Freddy Stein is looking forward to some shore leave in Sydney while his ship is berthed at Circular Quay. I think he looks rather smart in his casual clothes. I wonder where he will spend the day. Will he visit Darling Harbour or perhaps go on into the busy CBD. We might see him having lunch in the Sydney Tower where he can dine in style while keeping an eye on his ship.

I came to Australia with my mother and sister Vanda in 1966 from the UK aboard the Sitmar liner Castel Felice. We settled in South Australia I lived in the western suburbs of Adelaide for most of my life. I became very interested in retro items in my twenties. It was always a dream of mine to have an old house and fill it with retro items. I have done it twice now. My main interest is collecting old things. They do not have to be valuable, only interesting. There is something reassuring about old retro items. I have all sorts of things including doll related items. My other interests are my beautiful pets, art and going for drives to who knows where. I also enjoy board games or doing a scenic jig saw puzzle on a wintry afternoon by the fire. My goal is to travel a bit more as there are some places I would love to see

  2. I love those pale mysterious types..I love his outfit ..Is he the same standard face mold as standard Edward? The Liv male doll has a similar face too but bigger head/more tan. But I call him Cedrick because I can never remember his real name. Love the life preserver! Great post!

  4. Just saw a movie trailer for “Welcome to Marwen” starring Steve Carell. Looks fun for us doll lovers as it has live action dolls based on the women in his character’s life.
