I'll Take A Picture Tomorrow So You Can Help Me

(August 29, 2006)

You know I've got like a hundred Barbie dolls?

It's true. I rescue them from thrift stores, take them home, wash them, condition their hair until it's soft and shiny again, and put them on a shelf.

They look appreciative.

There's this one I found last week. Her hair, usually the worst feature of the rescue-case Barbie, is in decent shape except where someone hacked off a chunk...hard to say why. But she's not a "Barbie" Barbie. She's a "likeness." I mean a character doll. When you get them a thrift stores, this happens from time to time. For example, one of the ones mixed up in a bag of eight regular dolls was small and short. Turned out to be an Olsen twin...yes, I have an Olsen doll, isn't that weird?

But this one, I cannot figure out who it is.
