Today's email from Superfrock says:

...We here in London are besides ourselves with excitement with the next issue of Haute Doll magazine going live and starting to ship in approximately 5 days time!
Why are we so excited about the next HD?
Well…. Firstly they are very supportive of our endeavours and secondly; her name is Velvet™ and she is on the cover of the next issue!
Not to mention the editorial spread that brings us Venus, Inque & Voltaire playing parlour games and lounging in the gorgeously fictitious gardens of MONO.
Yes, we are about to meet these gorgeous friends of Meadow™, who already is in stock and in the hands of collectors across the planet!

Be sure to check out our online store as we add items this week and more next week!
On another note we are thrilled that the countdown is ON for the sYbarites™ first US convention in Los Angeles , CA!
Just 2 weeks to go till “Live from the Sunset Strip”.
 This event is sold out and we are sure it’s going to go all HOLLYWOOD on y’all!
Check out our social medias for updates, sneek peeks and gossip from both sides of the pond! ...

That is going to be an interesting event to watch.

Haute Doll "Boutique" Closes September 15, 2010

The last orders for remaining merchandise in the Haute Doll store will be taken in the next few hours. There's not much left but what remains is seriously reduced in price. 

The "La Dolce Bambola" gift set was originally sold for $510.00 non-members/ $500.00 members  It is marked down to $300 now. This is a 1/6 scale French resin BJD of 29 cm or 11.4." Lingerie plus two resin wigs and two outfits makes this a fairly attractive package is you like the style of the doll. I think she'd be prettier with a different face-up and a non-resin wig.

I don't know anything about this doll other than what the listing says: "NRFB 1990 Barbie Style Special Limited Edition collector doll #5315. $7.99
Anyone out there know something about this item?

Miss Sydney World has been listed in the HD boutique for a very long time. She was originally listed for $160 non-members/$150 members and is now on sale for $79.99

"Traveler Innoquii" is one of a series of four porcelain dolls from Superdoll.  This one was HD's exclusive and was so unpopular that they wound up including her for a very low price if one purchased another doll that was also hard to move.
I've been enabled by other collectors who were so excited at the sale price of $75., that their excitement was infectious and I ordered one. She's going to have to have that black eye removed to live here.

If any of my readers remembers her original price, please let me know. (Note: I've been advised that her original price was $300.)

There is one other doll available - literally. There's one Royal Red Jac Tonner doll. @$150.

Those of us who had subscriptions to Haute Doll have been handed over to Doll Reader. I have been sent a link to the October 2010 issue. It's not exactly a magazine for which I would purchase a subscription. I have, of course, received an offer to pay for a subscription. I have no idea when my HD subscription was supposed to end.

When my pirate doll arrives I will discuss.
