July 27th-30th in Ft. Lauderdale marks the time and the place for the 2011 National Barbie Collector's Convention and NiniMomo is already busy at work creating a wide variety of stunning one-of-a-kind Delegates to debut come convention time.

This summer will also mark NiniMomo's 15th year of business and we plan on throwing a special, private party in our suite to celebrate. We will be hosting an invitation only gathering to all our customers attending the convention and we have some very special gifts for all of you. Our commemorative gift is something we have been trying to do for some time now and it looks like it may come to fruition. In addition, we have a very special raffle during the party which is also indicative of our 15 years in business. We hope each and every one of you attending the convention has the opportunity to attend our event.

For those who do attend the conventions, many of you have seen our past "Live Auction" entries and "Silent Auction" entries and know we have a lot of fun putting together a fantasy. We are very proud to be able to help out the associated charities by bringing in money through these auctions. This year, the National Barbie Convention's official charities are "Children's Home Society of Florida" and "The Poverello Center". The theme, "Barbie and Ken Spring Break 1961" has been quite a challenging theme for us and we still have not locked on to a design. Time is closing in but we're sure we'll come up with something that marries the theme with what we do!

In the meantime, we have been busy at work designing and working on an array of truly gorgeous couture Delegates for our customers and although many are still "on paper", we have included some photos of the original amazing couture gowns from the world's top designers that have inspired many of the Delegates you will see this summer from NiniMomo.

In addition, we have selected three hot Delegates that have been created exclusively for the 2011 NBCC that we are offering for purchase NOW exclusively through our newsletter.  These three Delegates are available for sale and like all our Delegates, they are one-of-a-kind.

Look for the remaining 60+ Delegates to debut during NiniMomo's room sales events during the beginning of the convention this summer. These will occur before the salesrooms officially open and we will be announcing those dates in the next month or two. With so many new Delegates, there will be more than enough choices for those attending the convention and for our non conventioneer customers throughout the world. If any one lives in the Ft. Lauderdale area and is interested in attending one of our room sales events and is NOT a conventioneer, please let us know and we can inform you of dates and times.

If you're a Barbie fan, there really is no other way to completely immerse yourself in your hobby than by attending a National Convention. For us, we have such a blast meeting new people, seeing old friends, working and selling by day and partying by night. It truly is a Mecca for Barbie fans and collectors! We'd love to see you all at a future Convention. Keep it in mind!
