Description

[ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, MUSIC, PRODUCTION MATERIAL]
On offer here is a group of
ORIGINAL PUSSYCAT DOLLS PRODUCTION PHOTOS, MARKETING & COSTUME DESIGN MATERIAL.
Based on notes, names and other clues,
we believe this material at one time belonged to group founder, Robin Antin
or someone closely working with her
.
This group of material includes:
1) Two small photo albums one w/ 15 photos, another w/ 31 photos (perhaps Robin Antin's earlier career ?)  2) a 19 pp binder of merchandise designs (t-shirts, hats, etc), 3) an 11 pp binder featuring 'fashion and idolls' concepts from 'Apropos Intl'. these concepts feature 3 sets of original swatches and materials for costumes which seem to correspond (or come from ?) to the members actual performance costumes. 4) the 'Summer / Fall 2008 art presentation' portfolio of merchandise concepts (t-shirts, sweats, etc.) 5) A group of 100+ b&w photos (from negatives we found and had prints made) of what appears to be a live show w/ pics taken for costume continuity purposes ?? 6) Two small spiral bound notebooks (one mostly blank but w/ '
Robin $
' on cover) and other with pages of names, notes, appt's and phone numbers of people connected to the group. 7) A two page stapled document listing the costume particulars for each member of the group. 8) 6 inkjet, color photo printouts of the members in costume.
All in all, an interesting group of material related to one of the hottest female groups of the 2000's.

The Pussycat Dolls
are an American girl group and dance ensemble, founded in Los Angeles, California, by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe. At the suggestion of Jimmy Iovine, Antin decided to take the burlesque troupe mainstream as a pop group. Antin negotiated a record deal with Interscope Geffen A&M Records in 2003 turning the group into a music franchise comprising Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt. Their debut single, "Sway", was featured on the soundtrack of the 2004 film Shall We Dance?
The Pussycat Dolls achieved worldwide success with internationally successful singles "Don't Cha", "Stickwitu", "Buttons", and their multi-platinum debut album PCD (2005). However, despite their commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict due to the emphasis on Scherzinger, the group's lead vocalist, and the subordinate treatment of the other members. Bachar's departure from the group preceded the release of their second and final studio album Doll Domination (2008), which contains hit singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part", and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". Following the completion of their 2009 world tour, the group went on hiatus and fully disbanded in 2010. The original recording line-up, minus Thornton, announced their reunion in 2019 with an upcoming tour and a new album.
The Pussycat Dolls brand diversified into merchandise, reality television programs, a Las Vegas act, product endorsements, spin-off recording groups (Girlicious, Paradiso Girls, G.R.L.), and other ventures. Billboard ranked the Pussycat Dolls as the 80th most successful musical act of the 2000s. The group has sold 55 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. In 2012, the Pussycat Dolls ranked 100th on VH1's 100 Greatest Women in Music, and as the tenth all-girl group.
