A lazy Saturday dressing Gene dolls. Avec de la musique française

[@Eni_s_Playhouse]

I don't think I've ever seen a Gene Marshall doll in person. They are so beautiful with those mysterious eyes. Their clothes are amazing, with so much attention to detail! 😍

[@BugsySugar]

Also that painting behind you looks like Bob Ross! 😀🖌🌲🌲

[@kadawalden]

It is a Bob Ross! 😄 It's a replica of his 1993 painting Winter's Peace. Great eye! 👏

[@buffmontana4203]

I have a few....and a few outfits. And I played with them just a couple of days ago. Along with Madam Alexander "Alex", Tyler Wentworth and Trent Osborn. Yes those shoes (sigh). The clothes are fabulous. But most of their clothes I sewed because I couldn't afford them at the time. Some of the dolls and clothes are affordable now though. Make sure you show and tell your new acquisitions.

[@kadawalden]

That’s wonderful that you make clothes yourself! Impressive! 🤩

[@Alexardelean89]

You have great taste. I’m Also from Montana.

[@buffmontana4203]

@@Alexardelean89 oh I'm not from Montana (never been but hear it's beautiful) It's just part of my name. My son set up my comment "name" and he thought he was being funny/clever by adding Buff.

I love all your "playing with dolls" videos! Your pets want to be in the middle, its so cute!! Love your tuxies at the end! Glamourous dolls, delightful music!! 🐱

[@kadawalden]

I'm so glad you like it when I do these types of doll-playing videos and that you're here for it, Bugsy! 😍

[@shirleyspanjer8742]

Wow! You have so many wonderful outfits for Gene! I truly enjoyed this video. I love Gene too!

[@kadawalden]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@andthentheresmod]

Just last night I was browsing Gene (and Madra) dolls and outfits on eBay and marveling at just how affordable most of them now are compared to when they were released back in the '90s and aughts. (The Ashton Drake years.) Gene played a huge role in kicking off adults collecting fashion dolls back in 1995 when she first appeared, and she deserves more love today! Let's bring back Gene Marshall!

[@kadawalden]

I love that you know her history 😍 I’m new to Gene. I enjoy her so much!

[@annecourchesne205]

Omg I would love to have that collection of Gene Dolls. Your so very lucky Kada❤

[@kadawalden]

They are indeed lovely and were a very sweet gift 🤩 I’m glad you like them

[@elenawirick-velez2031]

I love how you organized the outfits with photos of the worn looks. 💖

[@kadawalden]

@@elenawirick-velez2031 The fashion packs come with those photo cards with a description of the outfit! Gene clothes are just amazing! 🤩

[@GGiblet]

The Gene dolls are so elegant. Love seeing them!

[@kadawalden]

I agree 😍

[@knittylitter]

The Gene clothes are so chic! Thanks for sharing.

[@kadawalden]

They are! Perfectly vintage style 🤩

[@judyp.6753]

I love to play with my dolls too on a lazy Saturday. These dolls and their clothes are exquisite! I only have Barbies but would love a Gene doll. I’m on the lookout now. Thanks for the video 😊

[@kadawalden]

Glad I could introduce Gene to you! The size comparison to Barbie is a little surprising- she’s like Barbie The Giant. I had to move some shelves up to fit her 😊

[@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis]

They are such gorgeous dolls and you have so many outfits for them. I have to admit I have had my eye on Gene Marshall dolls before and would definitely consider adding them to my collection, I really like the 40s and 50s glamour that Gene exudes.

[@kadawalden]

Agreed. They’re truly amazing 1940s/50s fashion replicas. So well-made too! 😍

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Kada, I really loved seeing you dress up your Gene Marshall dolls. I have two myself but have never redressed them. Right now they are packed away as I like to bring them out as a treat for myself at Christmas time. They really are beautiful dolls with a fabulous wardrobe. You have so many outfits. Fantastic!

[@kadawalden]

I love that you bring them out as a special treat at Christmas. I’d love to get some pretty holiday clothes for mine 🎅

[@SuzanneMartin-e4g]

That skull pillow!!! 🖤🖤🖤 Love seeing you play with these. The outfits are SO great. I can’t pick a favorite. Love that you put up her hair “with” the chopsticks. I never had the patience. I like the black stockings. Did they come with the outfit you bought? Sorry about the “button” that fell off that bodice!! I hope you’ll be able to find the Christmas tree/ornaments (and matching dress) for a reasonable price some day. I’m going to share this with my mom!

[@kadawalden]

Yay I’m so glad you saw this Suz! I hope your mom won’t be aghast at how I’m storing the clothes 🤪

[@SuzanneMartin-e4g]

@@kadawalden She enjoyed it!

[@kadawalden]

@@SuzanneMartin-e4g Also! No worries about the button. I did t even notice it. Pretty sure it’s w the outfit in a little baggie. Also I’m pretty sure the black stockings came w that outfit? 🤔

[@SuzanneMartin-e4g]

@@kadawalden 🤣 Now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever used any stockings (unless Red Venus came dressed in them)!!!

[@donnabeadle1568]

I love my Gene dolls! Thanks for this vi. It was so cool!

[@kadawalden]

Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

[@misfittoy1316]

Beautiful! My fav is the purple outfit! Ooo la la

[@kadawalden]

That is my fave too! 🤩

[@emanuelarazzuoli2363]

Vestiti e bambole di alta qualita! Mi è piaciuto davvero tanto questo video❤

[@kadawalden]

The clothes really are amazing! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@katie_and_her_dolls]

Very fun video! A very nice way to spend my Sunday night before bedtime. Your Gene Dolls are beautiful and I love the elegant outfits you dress them in. This makes me want more Gene dolls so bad! I just have one a girl with blonde hair who looks like Marilyn Monroe, but I would like two or three more.

[@kadawalden]

Ooh I love that you have one. These 3 are the only ones I’ve seen IRL 🤩

[@siwarvidsson9705]

You made them stunning ❤

[@kadawalden]

Thank you! 😊

[@Dollz4moi]

Ah, Gene❤. I broke the spell she had on me early. I do still have most of the information from Ashton Drake. I love so many of the fashions and accessories. Your puppy and kitties are so cute.

[@kadawalden]

Aw, thank you! 😻

[@Alexardelean89]

Your dog was so adorable. Loved that skeleton pillow. These dolls are beautiful. I saw dolls2remember gifted two more from this line.

[@kadawalden]

@@Alexardelean89 Aw he’s a good boy. 🐶 Love that you noticed the skeleton pillow 😄💀

[@Alexardelean89]

@@kadawalden I always notice cute decor. 💖

[@kgathercole4728]

LOL>>>you put the hat on backwards on your Cognac outfit. 😝 I bought a couple of books on 1940s fashion as I am going to be designing some patterns for Gene, She is just so cool! You were very blessed to have gotten your and all of her gorgeous outfits!

[@kadawalden]

I suspected that! But I thought the feathers in front made her look like she had short choppy bangs 😄

[@kelleypopelar3162]

I enjoyed your video so much can’t wait for more videos like this

[@kadawalden]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@thedollsthewitchandthewardrobe]

Lucky girl! Love them - I'd never heard of them so thanks so much for sharing. They are super pretty. I love them so much. Edited to add: that skeleton pillow in the background!!! 💀😁

[@kadawalden]

Hee hee! I love that you noticed the pillow 😄💀. Just bought it!

@@kadawalden Yaaassss for SummerWeen!! 💀💀💀

[@johannapichardo2586]

kada you did it again girl!! Here I am playing with my Gene Marshall dolls, yes Kada! I am PUBLICLY BLAMING YOU LOL!!! It was fun tho. Question my dear: Do you have a direct contact such as IG, Facebook, or perhaps a P.O. box for fans only? The cats are the PURRRRFect accent for the video !!!!

[@kadawalden]

Yay you’re giving Gene some love too! 😍 I don’t have any contact stuffs at this time but will let y’all know if/when I do 🥰🤗

[@iamsoverybored878]

I got two. I would get more because they are nice dolls. But they are too big and I'm running out of room. Also, they never changed the face screening. There's this Madta All About Eve set I wouldn't mind having. I wouldn't mind also getting a Violet Waters.

[@kadawalden]

I agree, their size is enjoyable to play with but difficult to display, lol. I too think it's interesting that they all have the exact same face. Must be because they're all technically the same woman? Thank goodness for all the wonderful different outfits 🤩

[@rigorramos4288]

Maybe next time try to show up close to the camera the pamphlet of the story of each dress that comes with it so that we can read them. It’s part of the fun knowing what “role” Gene played in that particular outfit…😊

[@kadawalden]

Great! Glad you’re interested! I think my other Gene video gives close ups, for all 25 outfits. Love the stories! 🤩

[@susyq5508]

after you showed the video of the three dolls months ago i bought two on e naked you should be happy to get all those clothes becuse wow are they pricey on e as much as the dolls sometimes. i cant write out e name or they ill take my comment off but you know where

[@kadawalden]

It removed the comment if you say the auction site? Weird! Anyway I’m so glad you found 3 Genes there! The outfits are definitely pricey. I’m looking at some now too. 🤩
