She's one of my nicest Skipper's and when I got out her for her photo shoot I found that her arms have gone pale and her face is starting to yellow! Ah!
She's still beautiful. I have taken her off display to see if keeping her out of the light will stop the fading.
It's such a shame because she has all of her eyelashes and hair,with no haircut.Her face paint is perfect too.
Around here school has started up again already.Skipper's wearing School's Cool, from 1969/70.
School's Cool consists of the flowered dress,orange tights, hot pink ankle boots,and...a telephone? That wouldn't surprise me these days, but nobody took a phone to school back then. (For one thing,it wouldn't have worked unplugged from the wall.)
She has a Big Chief tablet, just like the ones I used when I was a kid. I hate that the pencil is glued to it. I tried to make it look like she's holding the pencil too. |
That's a real pocket. If she could bend her arm she could put her hand in it. |
Today was the local doll show here in town, which I totally forgot to mention for any local readers. I didn't do the show this year, but I went to check it out and do a bit of visiting with friends.I got the very pretty chair Skipper is using in her pictures, and a few other things I will show you in some upcoming posts.
I love doll sized chairs. I have waaay too many. I need to start eliminating some, but they're all so cool. This isn't actually the only one I bought today.
Tomorrow starts a new theme week. It's all about boys this coming week. I also stopped at the thrift stores after dropping Ken off at work today and got an amazing deal.That will be another upcoming post.(Tease, tease.)
That's a very pretty Skipper, I love her hair color. The outfit is so cute, maybe the phone is added to call her friends after school or something :-). Great chair too!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love her, but I'd trade her any day for the titian version! I wish I had a human sized version of the chair too.
