Doll-A_Day 2019 #124: Brenda Brush

  Today's doll was a gift from a Flickr friend. She was part of a 'pay it forward', and she just arrived recently.

She's Brenda Brush.

You may recognize her from my recent post on her series mate, Hot Canary.If not, you can see Hot Canary's post HERE.

Brenda Brush and Hot Canary are from the series of Go Gos dolls by Topper toys.

They were made in 1965.

The Go Gos came in plastic cases.

The top can be removed,and the doll can use the case bottom as a stand. 

 There is a small clear plastic piece that holds the doll's feet that slides into place in the base.

Brenda is obviously an artist.

And she's very intent on her work!
 

She has her brush and pallet,and the cliche artist's smock, floppy bow,and beret.

 And she's pretty messy, as artists tend to be.

Her brush is clamped to her wrist with a big metal thing in her arm, like Hot Canary has for her microphone.

But her pallet is held on with a stitch sewn to her sleeve.
 

She has red tennis shoes.

Like Hot Canary, Brenda stands about 8 inches tall, and is posable,with wires in her rubber body.

She just can't hold that brush in a useful position!

I love this doll! Brenda is one of my two favourites in the series. The other is Tomboy.

I had mentioned this recently in a comment on someone's Flickr photo of Brenda. The next thing I know,one of my Flickr friends had contacted me and offered to send Brenda to me!

 

She had gotten a gift from someone, and she was continuing the 'pay it forward' by sending a doll to me. Now I'm trying to find someone to send something to. 

  That's it for today. We'll see you again for another doll.
