    : Another day, another convention doll. This is
    : one of the table centerpieces from the Omaha
    : convention in 1991. Like the baseball
    : player last week, I bought this girl in an
    : estate sale lot in the Pittsburgh area along
    : with the rest of the items from this
    : convention including what I've seen referred
    : to as a "poof ball magic wand"
    : that most hard-core convention collectors
    : seem to want if they add the Omaha set to
    : their collection. Most of the convention
    : dolls from this set seem to have suffered
    : water damage so finding a good set is hit or
    : miss. The set I bought was good. Really
    : need to photograph those - and that wand.
    :
    : The theme for this convention was
    : "Barbie Loves a Fairy Tale" and
    : all of the centerpiece dolls tied into that
    : theme. I missed out on the fairy godmother
    : last fall, but I've seen her before and have
    : hope of finding her again. Despite the way
    : she looks, this is supposed to be the
    : "wicked witch". The top of her
    : broom broke off, but otherwise, she is
    : complete, including her wrist tag and the
    : tag sewn inside of her cape - both of which
    : are necessary to make her an authentic
    : centerpiece doll. I've never seen her in
    : person before (just old photos) so I was
    : surprised to find her in the estate sale.
    :
    : And yes, I know she doesn't look much like a
    : witch, but this is Barbie. Before Bill
    : Greening, when did she ever? ;-)
