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!
