Press Release Body:

People often forget that celebrities are people too and so they need hobbies just
like anyone else. Furthermore, stars do a great deal of traveling and most often add
to their collections while touring and one of the most popular collectible amongst
celebrities is toys and games. They exist in a wide variety all over the world so
they make the perfect choice for a celebrity traveler.

The type of toy a celebrity collects depends on what interests them. Some
collectors like Julie Benz ( Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer ) are drawn to
dolls because they are fans of a particular time period or style. Others like Robin
Weigert, ( Deadwood and Lost ) like photographs because they portray celebrities and
characters from television shows or movies. Some celebrities like Jacqueline
McKenzie ( The 4400 ) enjoy collecting board games like Scrabble. Still others
collect porcelain and even autographs.
While many collectors of toys and games aren\'t toy collectors at all, but collectors
of celebrity memorabilia including movie and television-related toys. It is a fact
that since the earliest days of Hollywood the collecting of celebrity memorabilia
has been a growing past-time even among celebrities. The list of celebrities who
collect vintage and antique dolls is pretty impressive: Demi Moore, Morgan
Fairchild, Marie Osmond and Brittany Spears, Brittany Murphy, Courtny Love and even
John Wayne.

Lots of stars know that vintage clothing and accessories can enhance a sense of
personal style, or perhaps their stylists are responsible for all the vintage
dresses showing up on red carpets. One way or another, certain stars are known to
collect vintage clothing, purses and other accessories including Shania Twain, Lea
Thompson, and Demi Moore.

New celebrities are now showing an interest in collecting and giving of celebrity
memorabilia as gifts. Mostly memorabilia from the Golden Age of Hollywood and of
the first movie stars. Consequently, the number of specialty shops that sell
celebrity memorabilia and autographs is increasing.
