DOLL THEFT - PLEASE READ

NY Dolpa 3 was a glorious event. Volks and Fashion Doll Quarterly organized a wonderful party, but sadly, a shadow was cast on the party by the theft of seven of the display dolls Volks brought just for this celebration.

Mr. Shigeta, Pat Henry, publisher of FDQ and all of the Volks staff and FDQ volunteers handled this difficult and very sad situation with a great deal of grace, working to keep the focus positive, in hopes that this terrible act could somehow bring everyone there closer together. The authorities are still trying to get to the bottom of what happened. You can help! Please take a look at this link to the FDQ website.

All of the dolls missing are pictured. If you see any of them for sale on Ebay or any other online auction house, or on a forum, at a doll show or anywhere else, please contact Volks at agency@volks.co.jp or Pat at fdqmag@mac.com. Be vigilant! Help bring these beautiful dolls home.

Shopping in NY yielded five, gorgeous new leathers, first - the perfect white - immaculate, brilliant, soft matte white. I'm calling this one Alabaster. I'm also really excited about summery Sand Dollar, a gorgeous ivory ostrich. For the reptile lovers, we have Venomous, a red-orange snakeskin with black higlights and Gila, a black and grey lizard print, very like my last NY find, Komodo. And for the elves in the crowd I finally found a buttery soft, beautiful matte forest green called Sylvan. Get these while they last - I'm not sure when I'll be getting back to NY for a new supply!

I'm enroute to New York for Dolpa and leather shopping. While I'll be available to answer email requests and take orders, shipping will be delayed until my return on June 10. Sorry for the inconvenience, but please look forward to new leathers when I get back!

Had a little time to go shopping this past weekend and the trip yielded some very nice things. First we have three awesome new fabrics - Highwayman, a glossy-sexy, stretch, stripe-brocade, Highlander for the goth kids and the secret Scots, and Mist - a dreamy not-quite-denim. Two new leathers join the line-up too - Twilight, a soft, deep navy matte and edgy, shiny Fetish, for the dark and the daring.

I'm just back from a quickie buying trip and I've got two new leathers and a stretch denim to show for it. First, for all the X-Files fans out there, awaiting the new movie this summer as anxiously as I am, I found two gorgeous new ostrich leathers, Area 51 and Tunguska. And I've been trying to get this denim back in stock for ages! For the true blue believers and skeptics alike, Stone Washed denim returns.

This just in - I've had a few cutomers mention that their emails from MarshPants have been falling into their spam folders. In order to prevent this, please add MarshPants and marshpants@gmail.com to your list of trusted sites and senders. Thank you

I'm back from holiday with the psychedelic new stretch denim, Haight-Ashbury. It's a very limited edition fabric so don't grab yours before it's gone!

It's still snowing daily here, so I'll be heading to sunny California for a much needed vacation at the end of the week. Leather shopping in LA and San Francisco is on the agenda, so keep watching for new arrivals when I return. MarshPants will be on on hiatus from March 5 though the 18th. Orders received after the the 5th will not ship until my return, though I will be available for inquiries and requests during the hiatus.

Thank you to everyone who made the Bits and Pieces sale such a success. The promotion is now over. Look for other new and exciting promotions soon!

I'm back from The Big Apple with six gorgeous new leathers. First up, three reptiles - Viper, a blood red and black snakeskin, Komodo, an ivory and deep sand colored lizard texture and Caiman, deep green and black, bayou ready, and like the others, sexy as hell. I also found three gorgeous matte leathers - Cinnabar, a rich antique red with a rich, soft sheen, pure white Snow and Manhattan Black, a butter-soft black with a beautiful grain pattern. Supplies are limited, and I won't be back in New York until summertime, so don't hesitate!

I'm off to New York to attend Toy Fair and shop for leathers this Saturday. While I'll still be available to answer emails and take orders, any order received after 5pm Thursday, February 14 will not be shipped until my return on the 21st. Sorry for the inconvenience, but please look forward to the new cache of leathers I'll be bringing home!

They say there's no rest for the wicked, and when great leathers like Hematite sell out, it's time to shop. While the hunt for more of that very cool stuff was unsuccessful, I bought some yardage of its sister, Voodoo. This is an amazing, high gloss in darkest violet, smoked with black. I also found two new stretch brocades, Millionaire and Magnate, in rich green and black for rezin!kidz who love the color of money!

Bits and Pieces Sale! Put a little surprise in your Jailbait Shorts!

Congratulations to Tonboko, winner of the New Years Resolution contest! Her CP Delf girl will soon be wearing a pair of Matte Black trousers! Also new are two beautiful stretch brocades in shades of grey, Rake and Rogue, and two stretch denims, one wild, one mild -- Rockstar and Goody Two Shoes.

Thanks to the geek-tastic skills of our webmistress, MarshPants now has a Search function to make your shopping more fun! Plug in the leather or fabric color or even the doll type to find what you're looking for in glorious, living color!

Just in time to celebrate the new year, there's a new leather in stock! If you love the suedey texture of Nubuck, Opium Den and Abyss, you'll definitely want a pair of trousers or a skirt in new Apache - a soft, supple, sand colored leather with all the qualities of those lush favorites!

I picked up four MORE new leathers yesterday and they're pretty exciting. Hematite - a glossy deep silvery grey; Doeskin - a velvet soft, almost-suede in a buttery tan shade; Graphite - a rich matte in dark grey; and Indigo - another matte in deepest blue. Look for pictures of these on a doll in the near future!

I'm back from LA with a BUNCH of new leathers and fabrics. Here's a peek: First, three matte leathers - Powderpuff, a soft baby pink, Dragon's Blood, a deep, bold red, and Slate, a rich grey with amazing drape. Two wild snakeskins - Copperhead, and finally back in stock, Anaconda! I'm so jazzed I found more of this stuff! I have three new stretch cords - perfect for the cooler weather - Merlot, Dove and the very cool Smoke. And for a slightly dressier look, there are two stretch cottons - Black and Chocolate Brown I've only been able to get these in LA, so when they're gone, they're gone until I travel west again, so get them while they last! And remember, if you're looking for swap gifts, I do gift-wrap and will ship directly to your swap partner - usually within 48 hours!

MarshPants is on holiday until 11-27, enjoying holiday goodies with the family and a trip to LA Dolpa. Best wishes to you and yours this Thanksgiving!

This time of year all witches and wizards need just a little extra magic, so from now until midnight on Halloween I've got something special to offer. Buy any size trouser or skirt in special Halloween leathers, Cauldron or Jack-o-Lantern and I'll include a free pair of jailbait shorts in a very limited, just for the season, Black Magic. This is a sparkly, high gloss pvc I bought just for this event and it will never be offered for regular sale, so get yours now!

Fabric hunting this week yielded a few unexpected treasures. In leathers, we're offering Virgin, a spotless, baby-soft, pure as the driven snow white; Disco Ball for the raver and the dancing queen - a diamond textured, silver metallic; Pearl, a creamy pearlescent and back by popular demand, and Cotton Candy, a sugar-sweet, pearly pink. I also got my hands on a couple of buttery smooth ultra limited leathers, Sage and Sienna. Grab them fast. I only have enough for a couple pairs of each! And finally, to celebrate the upcoming Halloween season, two new stretch brocades, Hellfire and Damnation. Gorgeous stuff for the blackhearted and the daring!

We have sixteen new rezin!kid pictures in the Owner's Gallery, uploaded for your entertainment! Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who made the MarshPants grand opening such a success. As of this evening, all twenty pairs of sneakers have been sent to new homes, where they're now adorning the feet of lucky rezin!kidz. New and exciting promotions are in the works already, so keep watching!

The 500th post winner is Elle! A free pair of pants in Angel are headed to her Soom girl.

Two years ago when my first rezin!kid arrived, with only one outfit, and few clothing choices available for MSD kids available anywhere, I had only one real option. Clothe the poor boy myself. While Kyre would've been happy in rags, I took this as a mission. With a lot of encouragement, many broken needles and yards of wasted fabric later, I had a pattern Kyre and I were happy with. Then, as my collection, and my friends' collections grew, someone came up with the Brilliant Idea to offer my pants for sale. Maybe, with some luck, we thought, I could support an increasingly expensive addiction, er, hobby.

With a little luck and a lot of support from friends and clients, I'm happy to finally open this web store. And as a special thank you, I've come up with an awesome grand opening promotion. See, as much as I love the barefoot life, I've always thought it would be grand to have a collection of fun, brightly colored sneakers -- one to clash with every outfit. Recently I found some just like my favorites, only in rezin!kid size and I bought every pair I could get my hands on. So in honor of my debut, each customer ordering two or more pairs of pants or skirts will receive a pair of sneakers to go with! These are real sneakers, with a right and a left, and will fit any size foot up to CP Delf Boys. I've got twenty pairs, so hurry, while supplies last!

In addition, my DoA thread's nearing its 500th post. Whoever makes that post will receive a free pair of trousers! So keep watching my thread there. If you're a client with a picture of your rezin!kid you'd like to share, or a newcomer with an inquiry, you just might get lucky!
