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!
