Ashton Drake Mel Odom Gene Doll Midnight Romance in Box with Shipper BEAUTIFUL

Description

This is a sale of the Gene Doll "Midnight Romance" by Ashton Drake Galleries.  As you can see from the pictures this item is in Mint condition and APPEARS NEW.  The hands do not appear to have any marks or staining, and the face is free from marks or blemishes
.  The outfit appears to be free from any snags or stains, HOWEVER I DID NOT REMOVE the doll from its tie down or box so I do not know what the back of the outfit looks like. The carrier white box and tissue paper seems to be in good condition.  Inside there are 2 plastic bags with various accessories. 1 has a necklace and 1 a bracelet.  There is a BLUE MESH cloth which is perhaps a scarf or body wrap and a hook on ribbon / bow which probably attaches to the dress somewhere.  This item also comes with a booklet and
Certificate of Authentication Number documentation in it. The outer shipping box is included in this sale.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND I AM NOT A BARBIE or GENE DOLL EXPERT, AND I HAVE INHERITED ALL OF THESE FROM A DOLL COLLECTOR.  I will answer any questions to the best of my ability, and have posted pictures that I believe are the most important to the quality and originality of the dolls.
PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES FOR CONDITION AND CONTENTS :-)
Please also see my other auctions and save on shipping!

Story Card
Hollywood is the American mecca for gifted artists to come together and create the special magic that enchants our hearts for all time.
Gene first met Johnny Harmon at a premiere party.  Gene had slipped away for a breath of air when she heard an exquisite melody drifting from the music room.  Enthralled by the haunting refrain, she peeked in and saw a slender, sandy-haired man alone in the room playing the piano, his face enrapt with with artistic joy.  Gene listened for a while, then, unable to resist, began to hum the melody.  It was as if the song had been waiting for Gene's rich, seductive soprano voice to make it complete.  They played and sang the night away...and a deep, abiding friendship was born.
Years have passed, and their friendship is as special as ever.  This afternoon Johnny is playing his new song for Gene, one that she knows in her heart will be a record-breaker.  Gene agrees to pose for the cover of "Midnight Romance" in a bewitching gown of satin and tulle...
Gene's blue eyes are closed as she hums the music, and so she does not see Johnny gazing at her with admiration.  Though he knows they will only be friends, in his heart Gene is his love, his joy, and his inspiration.
Thank you for bidding and please check back for more dolls to come soon.
