Dollynation Street

Now I’m not your typical doll collector but recently I stumbled across “Diva Dollies”. The amazing creations are the work of the talented David Dale who has a catalogue of amazing dolls styled on some of entertainment’s most glamorous, camp and iconic divas. 

I immediately commissioned one of my own and here she is, Bet Lynch herself, alongside a Corrie diva David had already created, Ena Sharples:

                         

The dolls are Barbie sized (how am I going to explain this to my friends?) and dressed in their character's most famous outfits. Here are a few of my favourites from David's collection:

You can find David Dale’s collection on Facebook by searching “Diva Dollies”. There’s a pretty hefty waiting list but David is always looking for new divas to bring to life. Who would your Corrie Dolly Diva be?

David's other talent is drag and he performs up and down the country, as well as overseas. Also look out for David in panto at Christmas time!
