I think you're right about the magazine just sticking to Barbie. That's okay by me because Barbie is an institution and there's so much that can be written about that doll alone. But it is curious that a magazine about fashion doll collecting can't become its own institution. There sure are enough fashion dolls to write about especially if one includes older "original" fashion dolls like Madame Alexander's Cissy or Miss Revlons and Vogue's Jills and Jeffs. I guess "Doll Reader" is suppose to fill that need to know about other fashion dolls.

Pat, I just got my Barbie Baz. in the mail so maybe the new one just is hitting the stands now, it has a pic. of a miltary Barbie on the front & an art. on such Barbie dolls inside plus some other interesting stuff & neat pictures. Apparently there's been a discussion going on as to whether there should be art. about dolls other than Barbie in this mag. Most don't seem to want to hear about larger dolls such as Gene but do want to hear about Cherise & Integrity dolls , Candi was mentioned & other such 11 1/2 in. dolls. My guess is tho, that they'll prob. just stick to Barbie. Pat H. in Al.
