--Previous Message-- : She's one of two dolls I got out of my : father's house before my sister gave : everything to charity without telling me. As : a child I liked her so much that I had an : elaborate dream about her. In the dream she : was my mother... it didn't seem weird in the : dream. She was my favorite Barbie. Her face : shows how much play she got but she is still : loved :-). : She's wearing a vintage cheerleader outfit. : I think it had an M on the front originally. : Her rubber legs have a strong rubber smell : so I can't keep her body in the house. She's : on a Barbie Style blonde body. The neck on : her old body didn't have a rounded neck so : her head doesn't sit well. : The earring stains on her face are fading : with time. The girdle (that you can barely : see) hanging on the fence is made from : elastic & it has thin elastic for the : garters with snaps sewn on to hold up the : stockings. (I don't think it's Mattel.) Very : creative. Her original legs are stained from : the snaps though. Plastic snaps are : available now. : Possibly the first thing I made for Barbie : when I was a child was a satin gown for this : one. I cut a circle of fabric & then cut : holes for the head & arms. Then I : gathered the fabric at the waist & : proceeded to cut the hem. I was surprised : how hard it was to cut & figured it was : normal for such a big wad of fabric. Er... : look at the toes on her original body. She : wore socks with her severed toes in them for : years & at some point I took them off : & they're long gone. : PS, that's a furry knapsack covering the : doll nudity & the pom pom is from : Monster High Spectra. : : : :
