<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is made of very light pink resin material.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is 27cm (10.6 inches) tall, ball-jointed and strung. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">That makes this doll fully poseable, </span><span style="color: #674ea7;">which </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">is fun to 'play' with and to pose...most definitely!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She is made in China by a company called Illusion Spirit</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and procured through a web site called 'Mint On Card.' </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What a neat name for a company!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made the slouchy cotton tights and her beaded headband, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and chose the small blue plaid cotton frock </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with its hood for this photo shoot.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I just finished refurbishing her! It is very cold and snowy here, now, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in the High Country so I have plenty of time on my hands... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Things done: I added hair plugs of her same strawberry red color as for some odd reason, her hair was too thin in places (but it was in good shape.) This involves cutting small bunches of about 7 strands or so each of Saran hair, using a long, sharp, darning needle and inserting it into her vinyl scalp (this involves taking the doll's head off) then (finally) tying a small knot and pulling the hair swatch through and snug to her scalp. To finish up, the hair must be treated with very hot water (almost boiling) to get it to lie flat and for styling. Lastly, when the hair is dry (after being held in place with some pipe cleaners) the new hair is trimmed off to match the old. It is tedious work but well worth it to restore this pretty little doll from 1963! </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She is stylin' now</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">:-) Also~her lips have been meticulously hand painted (using a magnification visor to get things p-e-r-f-e-c-t.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Doesn't she look great? Finally, her cheeks have been blushed with artist's soft pastels (which absorbs into the vinyl and colors it over time.) Her robe is a </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">vintage Skipper flannel robe </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">made in Japan. Check out the little kitten on her pocket! (She is too cute for me.) </span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have a proclivity (to say it nicely) for dolls made in Japan (as vintage </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Barbie </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[As an aside, (here) I must say, </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">that I do hear 'all the time,' </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I mean, I'm not offended (in the least) by those </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">who say </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">that they are in the 'non-doll' camp. </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And that will be enough. :-)]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">The Japanese have a longstanding history of carefully designing dolls </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">(and doll clothing, vintage Barbie doll clothing especially) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">that are both unique and most superbly made indeed.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This doll is made of hard plastic, therefore she endues the test of time! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you move her arms or legs her head moves back and forth, which gives her </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">an </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">extra 'cute' factor. She has root beer brown glass eyes (another cute factor, imho </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">:-)</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her eyebrow's have faded to a limey yellow (not well seen in the photo here.)</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is her original vintage outfit depicting a ballerina with old crinoline<b>-</b>type tulle, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">satin shoes and felted pastel flowers in her hair. Her hair is a dark </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">root beer brown</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> and is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the original vintage Mohair (which is why it is sparse.) Better to save the old hair than add new (in the case of restoration.) </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The color palette of her outfit is faded pink pastels.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I adore her</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">! She is one of my favorites! (There is a story that I have </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">about why I have some vintage Ginny dolls but I will save it for another day.) </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Twist n'Turn Barbie doll head that is being sold. One of the great things about dolls in this era (1950's-60's) was that their heads can be removed and easily placed on a new (old) :-) body. Her hair is a beautiful ash blond but it looks like mink; it has a slight grayish-pink hue to it. These dolls are rare in good condition because the vinyl can fade and can often change color in the face. Their bend leg bodies are also easily ripped and torn because of the inherent weakness of the soft vinyl covering the mechanism to make their legs bend at the knee. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Current Project. A vintage Skipper doll head that needed hair plugs replaced and added due to thinning hair. She also needed her lips repainted, which is already done! </span></div>
