The International Doll Expo (IDEX) was held from January 27-30, 2011, in Orlando, Florida. This was the
20th anniversary of IDEX, which is a major show for exhibitors, buyers and collectors of dolls, bears and
other collectibles. Manufacturers, artists, retailers, buyers and collectors come together at this yearly
convention, and the newest items in a company's product lines are often introduced at this show.
Linda Smith, President of Vogue Doll Company, and new designer Alice Leverett, attended the convention
and brought exciting news for Vogue Jill and Ginny collectors. Diane Milla posted a report and pictures
from the convention on a Yahoo! Groups web site. She has graciously allowed me to publish her photos
on this page and to quote her comments:
"Big news is the production of a Jill doll from the original vintage mold of the 50s. The outfits on display are
Alice's interpretations of vintage Jill outfits and there will be matching outfits for Ginny. The new doll will
have articulated legs, knees and arms like the vintage Jill. The current new Jill has articulated elbows but
Alice said that those arms stick out from the body unlike the original arms on the vintage Jill and it makes a
difference in the design of the outfits. The new vintage is still in pre-production so the ones in the pictures
are original dolls from the 50s...." Diane Milla
Jill's fashions with new interpretations are 1957 outfit 7507, and 1959 outfits 3430 and 3460, some of my
favorite Jill designs. I think the new Ginny sister outfits are adorable and the new interpretations for Jill and
Ginny are sure to be a hit with Vogue Jill and Ginny collectors alike.
So, I'm looking forward to hearing more about Jill in 2011! Please send me your comments and any more
news that you may have, and I'll update this page and keep everyone posted.

On July 26, 2011, Dave Smith, CEO of
The Vogue Doll Company and Alice
Leverett, Director of Design, presented
the new Jill doll, produced from the
1950's vintage mold, to the attendees
of the Prom Dreams Luncheon at the
UFDC convention in Anaheim, CA. I
was one of the attendees opening a
box, and was pleased to hear a gasp
of delight when the lunch-goers got
their first glimpse of Prom Dreams Jill,
who has blue sleep eyes and molded
lashes (limited edition of 100). A
companion Ginny doll, Prom Dreams
Sister, was also available (limited
edition of 100).
