Buenos Aires Victoire
It would appear that most if not all who wanted to obtain this fabulous Victoire, were able to do so. I had expressed a concern that she would be hard to obtain and I am happy to be wrong. Many collectors are pointing to an almost eerie evocation of Evita Peron in Chris Stoekel’s design. After receiving her, I can totally relate. More often than not, I open a highly anticipated doll and am a bit underwhelmed. Promotional shots are designed to show off the best side of a product and it is almost certain that there are times where the promo shots oversell an item. In the case of Ms. Buenos Aires, I am happy to report that the promo shots simply did not do her justice. She is even prettier in person. I always love when that happens. Of course this is only my opinion so take that into consideration.
Here are her “window” shots. 
Model: Buenos Aires Victoire Roux
Christmas in July Take 3
The highlight in my opinion of Integrity’s mini collection releases yesterday was the Victoire Roux offering. As luck would have it…it’s another Lottery. I am not feeling super confident about this one as there are only 600 and it will be an IT Directly lottery open to all not just WClub members. That’s right folks, you don’t have to be a WClub member to enter the lottery for this. You will have from today until July 29th at Noon EDT to enter this lottery. Winners will be selected at random, notified by the W Club Liaisons and then have until August 5th, 2013 at 5:00 PM EDT to pay. You can find more information about this lottery on Integrity Toy’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Integrity-Toys/200208326656019 . The link to get one of the lottery tickets is

I am in LOVE! From the top of her cream colored hat to the tips of this Dior “new look” inspired outfit, I am in LOVE! According to Integrity Toys, the umbrella is not functional…who cares! It’s adorable workable or not. This offering exemplifies everything that I love to collect so I am extremely hopeful that I will win the right to purchase. If not, I will be begging…oh yes, I will be begging and avidly searching the secondary market for a chance to purchase.
