The First HotBuys Ever.Have you ever wondered how the first HotBuys that were released looked like?

Yes, these are the first ever HotBuys that were released on Stardoll. As you can see above, all the accessories - excluding the bow belt - were actually being sold from the MiniShop! These HotBuys are probably very rare, since they are the very first HotBuys and maybe only 2/4 of Stardoll have joined when it was still PaperDoll Heaven.
I've only seen a very few users with these HotBuys accessories in their MeDoll Editor. As Kaylen (Wrong.Number) had already explained in her 'Evolution of HotBuys' post, these HotBuys are very different from today's HotBuys.
I consider these HotBuys very '80's, with a touch of quirkiness. My favourite HotBuy there is probably the Bow Belt from Hola, the Plaid Beret by Burberry, and the Heart Necklace by Chanel.
These September HotBuys were followed by the October ones, as seen below.

The HotBuys Craze
Ever since then, HotBuys are must-haves in each and every girl's wardrobe. There are no doubts to collectors that HotBuys are every girl's best friend! Everyone was so happy of the new ideas of HotBuys, but as the years passed, HotBuys became more and more expensive, and almost all the HotBuys are SS.
Presently, the prices of HotBuys range from $6 to $20. Nowadays, there are no HotBuys that are $5 or under - unless they are free, of course!

I Liked may 2007 hotbuys the best ^^
The post also is well written, but not very "original" I've seen a lot of "hot buys history" posts lately.. but still great post and you definitely put a lot of effort in it :D
Well, as Joyce said a lot of Hotbuys History posts have been made BUT you went farther back.
Well done.
AND, I remember most of these, I am an early 2007 member.
Thanks, guys.
Cali_Beauty, I love your posts, too (:

Not to be a Negative Nellie, but someone just posted about this on the blog 2 posts before you, with less pictures, but the same concept. Other than that I like the post :) I was on stardoll in 2006 and I remember the hotbuys in the shop, but I had no money to buy them :(
Rather long but i found it interesting, was good to see the hotbuys before i joined! Didn't realise the Scuba dress was a hotbuy, i thought it was just DKNY!
I am really glad you extended my idea because you have done such a great job!
HAHAHAHA x 10000 at the doll for the first hotbuys.
I thought it was kinda too long, maybe split it into a few posts, like a whole timeline of hotbuys, like season by season?
Well,I laughed as soon as I saw the post - not about the format of writing or the writing style or anything offensive, however this post has been written by most writers in all blogs, such as Gossip-Stardoll's practice blog and much more, you should think original. I like hotbuys but Hotbuys History Posts are WAY OVERUSED!
Well-written well done :)
You could have written a little more about each of the pictures, your opinion about them, and included less pictures. You could do what 26jen said and maybe split it into years, and then you could write more about each.

i did this a while ago on my collectors blog
I prefer the more recent hotbuys to the older ones. HAhaha, the faces on the older ones are really disturbing. haha.
:p
Now, the hotbuys are mainly purple, which is kind of odd :o
There's some hotbuys I don't rember. But it's a really good post!!
the doll is so scary in the first few Hotbuys! What were stardoll thinking????!!!
