Haute Doll April 2008 Edition on stands soon!

The April edition of Haute Doll has mailed out to subscribers and should be in stores in just a few weeks.

I was beyond honored when Haute Doll contacted me for a feature piece for this issue, and have supplied photos exclusively for the article which cannot be seen elsewhere. Crowns! Ruffs! Steampunk! Victorian gentlemen and more! It's all in there.

Also featured in this issue:

• An interview with the Baby, the Stars Shine Bright designer and the history of Lolita fashion as covered by Aimee of Den of Angels and Becky of Blastmilk fame.
• An article all about the latest trend to sweep the ABJD world: adorable animal/anthropomorphic dolls. I'm working on my own resin menagerie.
• The history and growing trend of the big ABJD boys and girls (60cm+).
• An interview with the talented Rodrigo sisters of Arcadia Dolls, along with their rococo gown tutorial for MSDs.  If you are looking for a gown for your larger girls, look no further than Atelier Arcadia's Design Your Own Rococo Gown. I was so very pleased with my Atelier Arcadia gown, and goodness knows it's far easier than making one yourself. The sisters do incredible work - you can see photos of the gown I received in Vesper's gallery.

All in all this is going to be one exciting issue!

My wife alerted me to this astounding spread in the magazine, vastly beyond anything I've seen to date. I very much look forward to a point at which these photographs are no longer confined to print. the Nettie and Hortence cabinet card was brilliant, as was the steampunk shot. These are images I would like to point to in digital form as an ideal.

I enjoyed the article as well. As I photograph my wife's dolls, I'll take solace in the fact that it isn't easy for the pros, either.
