Doll-A-Day 2023 #121: Ringmaster Tommy

   Well, Emma was home, but she went back in the hospital last night. She was still having a lot of pain. She's a bit better tonight. They gave her antibiotics and IV fluids all day, and her pain s less. Of course, they gave her pain medication too, but even when it ran out, she was still having less pain. She may come home tomorrow. We'll have to see.

  I spent the day with Emma at the hospital, so today's doll is sort of abbreviated. He's Ringmaster Tommy.

  This Tommy was produced when there was still the 'Kelly Club' logo on the boxes.

 

 Tommy was supposed to be Ken's brother, and friend of Barbie's sister Kelly. He always had the bowl haircut, unless he was the African American Tommy. That Tommy had cute curly hair. I love them both.

He's wearing a ringmaster suit, but no top hat.

But he does have his megaphone.

And he is wearing the standard Kelly/Tommy boots, in black.

    I'm sure we had Ringmaster Tommy at our house, as Fuzz had most of the Tommys. Ringmaster Tommy was made in 2000, so Fuzz would have been five years old.

  That's today's doll. Tomorrow we'll check on Emma and if she's okay, later we'll go to surprise my sister with a cake, as it's her last day of work. She's retiring.
