First up is a table centerpiece/table host gift from the 1996 convention in Philadelphia. While today the host gifts are usually a separate item, at some conventions, the hosts were gifted the centerpiece, which is the case with this lovely lady. She came in three color variations: a blonde in pink, a brunette in yellow, and a redhead in green. Right now, I'm only missing the green.
The second blonde is another centerpiece doll, this one from the 1989 "Forever Young" convention in Garden Grove, CA.
Other than the addition of the neck piece, she's wearing the same outfit as my Steffie faced doll in the banner. The one I had was more complete, coming with her felt "record" base, but I liked the blonde as well, mostly to show the variations in the centerpieces that year.
And the one I already had in my collection.
