---------------------------------
Akiko travels to Siberia to fight evil forces and spirits in order to undo an evil spell cast on her family and the villagers generations ago. The spell left the village with no human male - as the adult males were either killed or captured as zombie slaves, while the young boys were turned into animals... as in the case of "Didi"...

Armed with a Dragon's Tail staff that turns into a dragon to fly her off to her destinations, Akiko also holds in her flask, "holy water" - which enables her to become invisible to the evil mongers. It is Akiko's quest to undo the spell, stop the evil doers, forever vanish them, as well as, reunite the people in her village with their love ones - including her own family.

Nov *....Susie Celebrates her 1 Year modeling Anniversary in Taipei!!!.....*
Susie celebrates her first year in the modeling business by jet setting off to Taipei, Taiwan to help launch a new fashion magazine! It came as a WONDERFUL and very fitting surprise to Susie when her modeling agency called to tell her that she has been handpicked by the fashion editors, for the new upscale fashion magazine "C'est Moi", for an extensive fashion spread highlighting the best and up and coming designers in Taiwan.
For one fast paced week, Susie was groomed, fitted, gowned, and photographed all over the beautiful city of Taipei wearing some of the most beautiful clothing designs by Taiwan's top designers. The non-stop work week was quite tiring but like a total pro, Susie showed up on time each day and with a bright smile for everyone. This endeared her to the fashion editors of the magazine, as well as, the designers dressing her and their numerous assistants. One designer in particular, Mrs. Jade Hsu of the respected fashion label "Ooh LaLa Designs" took such a maternal liking to Susie that she especially recreated a dress from her original designs. Done in 4 sumptuous variations - fabric, colors and detailing - they were presented to SUSIE as a remembrance and token of their appreciation for all her hard work. Of course, these brought tears to Susie's eyes and made her realized even more that this is what she dreamt modeling would be all about -- traveling to far off places, making memorable experiences, and meeting new friends for life!

C'est Moi Taipei Susie is created especially for Taiwan's newest upscale fashion magazine - "C'est Moi" and in conjunction with Susie's One Year Anniversary!!!

Subject ...The Premiere Collection......
VOL.1 - SAN FRANCISCO DAYS

VOL.2 - NEW YORK NITES
One of Susie's schoolmates, Tyanna, a young African-American fashion model is visited by her agent from R@ND Modeling Agency to discuss her schedule for New York's famous "Fashion Week". For the lunch meeting, Tyanna, devises a plan for Susie to sit and meet her agent as well - as she feels SUSIE has the looks to make it as a fashion model. She was right all along as the Agent, taking one good look at SUSIE, thought she is just the "fresh face" they are looking for - he in turn persuades Susie into joining Tyanna for Fashion Week. Over the lunch meeting, Susie thought that it would be a great opportunity to TRAVEL and see the world so she accepted and signed up.
Both girls were whisked away to NY for a rigorous week of fitting, styling and walking the runways for some of the world's most famous International designers.
At the end of the week, after the last show, a big bash was thrown for all the designers and models to celebrate another successful week of showcasing the season's hottest fashions. Susie chose to wear an original design by one her her most favorite contemporary designers, which is an instant hit to all attendees.

VOL.3 - TOKYO TRENDY


Susie travels to the land of the rising sun for a promotional appearance for a brand new video game that she stars in: "Warrior Girl". To promote this futuristic, virtual reality video game, Susie chose to wear a two piece leather outfit with silver buckle trims. Her hair color is "candy apple red", in homage to various animated & Manga heroines. She is accompanied by her co-star and love interest in the video, an upcoming Japanese actor, Kenji Kimura, who took an instant liking to Susie.
A replica of her colorful "robo-bear" sidekick, Didi, was presented to her by the producers of the video game during the press junket.

VOL.4 - CHINA GIRL

San Francisco celebrates its’ ANNUAL “Asian American Heritage Week”, and in conjunction Susie’s design school holds a design competition in its' honor. Though she placed second only – she was quite thrilled as it is her first major design competition.
Susie designed a very modern, fun, and playful wear accentuated with a Chinese collar. For authenticity, Susie enlisted the help of her aunt, who owns and runs an upscale clothing boutique in Shanghai, Plum Blossom -- Specializing in Chinese inspired clothing. With Susie’s specifications, her Aunt scoured for the delicate material with lush embroidery.

Her design entry is the gold version, while she wore a black variation for the actual event. Susie also styled her hair much like the ones worn by heroines in past "Kung FU - Martial Arts" movies she remembers watching as a young girl.

Introducing… SUSIE
2003年7月SUSIE首次與玩家正式見面,她成功地在許多人心田裡烙下不可磨滅的深刻印象!SUSIE來自 R&D Fashion Dolls創辦人--Rudi Teruel和 David Wu兩人的心血結晶,結合收藏時尚娃娃,和銷售世界各地娃娃品牌的多年經驗,Rudi和David期盼推出特別以亞裔為背景的時尚娃娃,塑造她獨特的文化生活背景,融合東西方最優的設計和概念素養,他們希望SUSIE呈現現代流行的平凡女孩形象,同時踏實謙虛地以古老傳承為傲,透過她來彰顯原創者的人生哲學,從日後的各種服飾變化,便可窺探出縈繞在亞洲傳統的影子。酷愛旅行的同時,賦予SUSIE混搭的背景,讓她能在時尚世界裡盡情地揮灑盡情地揮灑,成為最亮麗的年輕模朵!由此開始,SUSIE在環繞世界的精彩旅程中,藉各地文化洗禮,呈現不同的服飾創意,希望每一次與玩家的接觸,都令人驚嘆且興奮不已。

許多精力和時間的投注,終於讓SUSIE即將現身,原始的臉模塑雕、頭型的變化,甚至臉龐的彩妝都為未曾馬虎,她的獨特形象完全原汁原味,臉上的妝讓人難以辨識其種族源流,全身散發一股世界風的融和感覺,不同顏色妝扮和髮色增添她的神秘感,自然地轉換不同神韻和味道,R&D和許多玩家一致認為她的獨特美是最大賣點!總之,玩家很難再找到像她這樣,一舉手、一投足便有萬種風情的迷人娃娃。SUSIE為1/6體型娃娃,約11英吋高,且為活動關節,Rudi和David選擇這樣的身形,讓她可輕易擺設各種姿態,相當適合拍照上相,手肘及關節均可彎曲,腳和手腕處也可靈活轉動,腰際間同樣可做適度旋轉。

SUSIE在去年7月美國德州達拉市舉辦的International Fashion Doll Make Over Convention裡首度曝光,雖然只展示少數幾款原型,Rudi 和David 也徵詢現場玩家的個人意見和感想,許多人表現出萬分喜愛的熱情,總算令人覺得不需這美國之行。即使在會場眾多時尚娃娃裡,如Jason Wu的〈冠冕皇室〉、Integrity Toys、 Robert Tonner的完整新款系列有Tyler, Betsy, Brenda Starr,以及 Mel Odom的Gene和其友人娃娃,以及從不缺席的芭比等娃娃等各據一方,不少造型搶眼的個人創作款更贏得滿堂風采,SUSIE仍可以其獨特之姿,獲得現場玩家青睞,讓我們備感欣慰。Susie得到廣大玩家的肯定迴響後,SHERRI和DAVID BUTTRY兩名玩家,更率先開啟了Yahoo的俱樂部ALL ABOUT SUSIE,兩人對於SUSIE的喜愛,讓這個俱樂部快速成長,至今已超過350會員加入。

2003年冬季首款系列,揭開SUSIE的絢爛世界,〈舊金山時光〉 San Francisco Days透露SUSIE的身世背景,出生在舊金山並就讀於當地Fashion Design school;〈紐約夜迷〉New York Nites則是發掘她成為時尚名模之地,兩款服飾造型皆有時尚的趣味性;火紅髮色和烏黑皮衣的炫麗造型搭配高統拉鍊式皮靴,讓SUSIE遠赴東京參加電玩記者會時,身為代言人的身分成為會場勁爆的焦點,<急速東京>Tokyo Trendy徹底讓SUSIE展現科技超現代感;另外一款原創形服飾是參加學校設計比賽的成果,以亞裔美人的傳承為主題,SUSIE成為俏皮可愛的〈中國女孩〉“China Girl”。

2004年來臨之際,Susie將飛越大西洋到倫敦出攝影外景,以龐克流行的裝扮,挑戰玩家的視覺;〈倫敦采風〉London Calling走的是懷舊的復古風,將拜訪” 知名的Carnaby街道!她也會出現在中國北京,慈善的流行盛宴 〈北京搖滾>Beijing Rocks”;此外,SUSIE更有機會為義大利設計師走秀,炫耀登場於時尚周是〈 米蘭潮流〉。.

隨著拜訪城市的足跡,SUSIE總是走在流行尖端“Always On the Go! Always In Style!” 可是她的人生格言,所以歡迎來到SUSIE的夢想旅境,藉由她來重新發現世界的美妙之處。
