Monolithic Pictures Signs NEW Talent: Meet Violet Waters!

Monolithic Pictures is pleased to announce the arrival of a new star in their cinematic heavens: the beautiful and talented Miss Violet Waters.

Violet is the popular vocal sensation with the cafe au lait complexion, celebrated by the cafe set both here and in Europe for her wonderful jazz stylings. Now she will be joining Trent Osborn, Madra Lord, and, of course, everyone's favorite, Gene Marshall, on the Silver Screen. In her initial roles, Miss Waters will be seen as a featured performer in many of Monolithic's popular musical extravaganzas, and studio executives hope that she soon will be able to branch out into dramatic roles. In the meantime, she will continue to entertain audiences 'round the globe with her records, concerts, and radio and nightclub appearances, not to mention her travels abroad to entertain the troops overseas.

Miss Waters' first exclusive publicity appearances for the studio will be during the weekend of November 2, 3 and 4. For her first "Special Appearance," Violet Waters will be wearing a fabulous dress made of delicate white lace - and covered with over 12,000 (that's right: twelve THOUSAND!) seed beads and sequins. With an orchid in her hair and a violet scarf in hand, she'll be ready to charm you at first sight.

Violet will be visiting locations all across the U.S.A. and Canada - but fans should be aware they'll need to be there early, because rumor has it that Violet is going to be so popular that she'll be out the door almost as soon as she arrives!

Violet Waters Joins The Gene Marshall Collection

She's been one of The Gene Marshall Collection fans' most requested dolls - and now Violet Waters has arrived! Created by Mel Odom, Violet is a sultry singer/actress with a beautiful cafe au lait complexion and dark hair. She joins Gene, Madra, and Trent on the Hollywood scene, hopeful to land dramatic roles in Monolithic Studio's blockbuster films.

Violet makes her debut in "Special Appearance," a stunning gown of delicate white lace designed by Jose D'Saenz that boasts over 12,000 (that's right, it's not a misprint - 12,000!) hand-applied sequins and seed beads.

Violet Waters in "Special Appearance" will be available ONLY for Gene Fan Appreciation Weekend, November 2-4, 2001. We know you'll adore this lovely jazz vocalist and actress who joins Gene Marshall, Madra Lord, and Trent Osborn in the Gene Marshall Collection.
