My new fixation. Mark found yet another local antique fair for us to frequent. I wasn't really expecting much, so I didn't even bother to set the alarm so that we could get an early start. When we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole field full of dealers. And I was about 5 tables in the when I saw these:    
Visions of the customized goodness in Dolly Dolly 4 flashed before me. I had to have them. These dolls were popular in the 60's and 70's. I don't believe they served any real purpose other than room decor. The pair I found were made by Artmark. According to her box, the girl in the red is named Judy. Green girl did not come with her box, so her name will be left as a mystery for the ages. Bradley is the other company that produced these boudoir lovelies, under the name "Elegant Doll." And then there are the Dakin Dreamdolls, which are similar in concept. I think that the doll that was customized in Dolly Dolly 4 was possibly made by Dakin, because her face was a bit cuter than my girls, who look sort of tart-ish. ^^; Still, I think these dolls are a lot of fun, and I will certainly keep an eye out for more in my travels. Edit: Apparently, I was not the only one who was entranced by the girl in Dolly Dolly 4, for look who graces the cover of Dolly Dolly 5!

I had a doll similar to that I bought last year. I tried to change her lip color and ended up screwing up her paint, so I redid her face in that whole horror/goth look to make her look like a vampire and sold her ^^;;
I'm wondering how I can clean up the Green Girl's face without messing up the paint. Anyway, I'm glad there are others who dig these dolls too!
