The first W Club exclusive doll of 2014
This girl has a great little story to go along with her:
During
Europe's darkest hours, Victoire Roux not only fought valiantly to
save the lives of her compatriots, but as a patron of the arts, she
also worked tirelessly to protect the magnificent cultural heritage of
France. Swiftly salvaging and hiding world famous paintings by the
likes of Van Gogh, Monet and many others from would be conquerors and
other miscreants in an ultra secret hiding place, Victoire successfully
saved these irreplaceable treasures from almost certain annihilation.
In
order to maintain a shroud of secrecy, only a few key members of the
French Resistance knew the exact location of the "ark of beauty" (as it
became known). As the conflict finally neared the end and rumors of the
ark's actual existence started circulating in the allied underground,
the hope that beauty and art might have survived the ugliness of war
immediately acted as a morale booster, leading everyone to fight harder
for the freedom that they believed in.
Many
subterfuges were used to explain the art's disappearance from
galleries and museums during the occupation. From swiftly moving the
pieces mere moments before a building's destruction to simply declaring
them stolen in the aftermath of various skirmishes, miraculously, the
enemy never came close to discovering any of the resistance's clever
subterfuges.
Once
the war ended, Victoire immediately revealed the location of the ark
and a ceremony was held to return every single tableau to their
rightful owners. Organized in collaboration with the Hotel de Ville de
Paris, the restitution ceremony was a grand affair with the entire
who's who of France and many allied dignitaries all present to honor
the courage of Victoire Roux and her valiant friends from the
resistance. This ceremony set an indelible mark on history- the moment
the world officially acknowledged the heroics of Victoire Roux. All in
attendance stood in awe at the prowess of her achievements. All were
under her spell, utterly seduced by our hero's incredible determination
and resolve. That night, Victoire Roux was the real star, easily
outshining the great masters that she had fought so hard to preserve!

Well, as many as club members order, and each club member is allowed to order one.
I won't be ordering this gal, as I love the Victoire Roux I already ordered this year...
but she is lovely!
Hello from Spain: this doll is fabulous. Very pretty but too expensive.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, as beautiful as she looks I passed on this one, I'm not mad about her coloring, expecially the pink lips.....if I'm going to buy a Victoire I believe I will pick night in montecarlo.....
ReplyDeleteIn fact I was a bit disappointed by this first exclusive, as I collect the main line and nu-face and I'm growing restless to see the new collection! (I want to see the new hommes!!!)
Kissas
Not only is she a clever girl but a gorgeous one at that!
ReplyDeleteShe must've been vampirized to look still that good. ;)
ReplyDeleteUgh! I'd buy her for the back-story alone if I had the cash to spare. But alas, I do not. So in honor of Victoire.../merde/.
ReplyDeleteOh, she is beautiful. I really love the make up they did on this model. Her dress is a lovely colour, not sure the style is to my taste though. Still, have to admit, Integrity do some really nice clothing designs and they're always pretty good quality.
ReplyDeleteStill kicking myself that I missed out on joining the club. I am missing out on so many of these beauties. Ah well, I already bought a Victoire Roux recently and I rather like her so I guess I wouldn't have bought this one anyway even if I was able to.
I hope you are able to post the Poppy Parker line up for this year when they eventually unveil them. I'm really curious about this line and I am still set on getting at least one Poppy Parker doll. I'm holding off deciding which one until I find out what they're releasing this year.
Lovely doll; congrats on getting your Victoire Roux!
ReplyDeleteI have to pay Fashion Explorer Vanessa and Jem Countess Danielle Du Voisin, but I hope to find her at the secondary market, she's spectacular
