The Connection Between Cinderella & Bon Jovi

Did you know that the glam metal band Cinderella owes it all to one Jon Bon Jovi? The band was playing a gig in their hometown, Philly, and Jon happened to be in the club that night. He liked what he heard and got his label's talent scout to come see them and they ended up getting signed to a label as a result.

Cinderella toured with Bon Jovi for a while on the Slippery When Wet tour. There's even an appearance by Jon and the gang in the Cinderella video "Somebody Save Me."



Totally awesome!

Building Bon Jovi

Laurie Everton is an '80s glam fan. Laurie Everton is an artist. Laurie Everton is a doll collector. Laurie Everton combines all three loves when she creates celebrity ooaks, dolls that she repaints, reclothes, and restyles to look like certain celebrities. She took a few minutes to speak with us about her unique profession.

Hello, Laurie! Thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for us today.
Hi! Happy to do it.

You create portrait ooaks. Can you tell everyone what portrait ooaks are?
A portrait ooak is a one-of-a-kind doll made to look like a certain person (celebrity, or even someone's sister). Celebrities are the easiest because you can get all the pics you need. I have done people I've never met, non-celebrities. Those are harder because all I have to go by is what pictures the buyer has sent me.

Do you exclusively use Barbie and Ken dolls for your ooaks? If not, what other kinds of dolls do you use?
I use Barbie and Ken alot, simply because you can play around with the facial features more. I also use the larger 16-inch Tonner dolls. I redo those too, but they are almost always actors and actresses. No rockers yet. The "Rockin' the '80s" series will be all Barbie/Ken size.

How did you get into this? What made you want to create portrait ooaks?
I'm a portrait artist, been drawing portraits for years and years. This is the same thing, but different medium and canvas. I'm also a doll collector. I just combined the two loves.
