So. I was cleaning out ye olden closet, and I have an old suitcase in which I kept the three whole dolls that survived The Great Purge of 1992.
Perpetually naked Maxie, who lost her clothes in the move, severely damaged Princess Insert Name Here; she's the blonde mermaid variant doll from the Lady LovelyLocks line, in a re-purposed purple dress from god only knows what doll, and my mother's Midge doll, who lost her hands to the family dog in 1987.
I'm only keeping Midge.
I am outright embarrassed by my bad ownership of these dolls, (Princess Insert Name Here is missing hair where I cut it out in CHUNKS because I was five *flinch*), so I'm going to brush their hair nice, wash them, and pass them along to charity. There are never any nice dolls there (I've looked!) so clean dolls with brushed hair should make some little girl's day. ^_^
Anyway, the point of the entry:
I have this totally rad mint green hard-cast plastic horse toy. Google informs me that she is Bobbi, the Oldies Singer Fashion Star Filly.
She is probably too damaged to fetch much (all her dark-pink sparkly lower mane hair was shorn) but would make somebody a nice base-doll (er, horsey?) and might actually catch a whole dollar. They're apparently somewhat collectable, these days.
I would not have guessed. I was into MLP.
Took Maxie and my bottle of Mastercuts Style Frizz Smoothing Serum I never use, and slathered the stuff into her hair. Plan to leave it overnight.
On the theory that Maxie's hair is much more frizzy than Bobbi's, and also that her hair melting or falling out or something would be somewhat less disastrous.
I'm curious to see if it works.
So. Anyway. Yeah.
