I came across this great Dolltopia review (4.5 stars!) at Cherrie, an Australian site for lesbians and queer women. Here’s a snippet-

“I love everything about this book, especially the title. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the dolls fought back?”

These just popped up on youtube. A nicely edited video by Bernard Joubert of our LGBT Roundtable with Jean-Paul Jennequin, Xavier Lancel, Patrick Marcel, Paige Braddock, Tim Fish and myself! There are eight clips starting with this one! The one where I’m interviewed (after Paige Braddock) is here. I was advised to speak slowly for translation purposes ^_^

Dolltopia just got a fantastic review on Newsarama! Click to read!

“All in all “Dolltopia” is pretty great read. It manages to be joyfully cutesy, funny and sweet while also being thoughtfully deep and intelligent. This is the mark of a great creator, someone who can skirt the line between an almost child-like writing voice and a high-brow social commentator.”

Last night I did a reading at the wonderful comic shop Floating World Comics and we got cupcakes from Cupcake Jones for the occasion. I LOVED the ginger bread ones and the Cherry Cheesecake ones were really nice too. The tiny gingerbread men were cute and tasted great!

I just got back from my lecture at Emily Carr University on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. So fun! We got cupcakes from Coco Cake Cupcakes. Lyndsay does custom cupcakes to order and she matched the Dolltopia cover colors!

I’m having so much fun in Vancouver! The weather turned out to be sunny and gorgeous for most of the weekend and the foliage is so beautiful! I am definitely glad I did this tour in Autumn.

New England and NYC were amazing! Now I’m gearing up for the West Coast tour starting this weekend in Vancouver, BC! Hope to see you there, be ready to eat some cupcakes and bring your dolls! Remember, whoever brings the coolest made over doll wins a copy of Dolltopia!
