"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I wasn't allowed to have Barbies so I had to settle for a Midge doll.

I asked for a Midge doll. I hated Barbie and Midge seemed a bit more realistic. It was occasionally socially necessary to play Barbie.

I still have my trolls and they're pretty close to 40 years old. Scary.

As far as I know, there are no Ginger dolls, unless they made Gilligan's Island action figures.

What is even happening?

I bought this tomato sauce on sale - and sadly it was a buy one get one free sale so I have two. Well, it's weird and sweet.
How do you fix that?
Garlic, pepper (black and/or red), maybe a little dry wine, and/or Romano cheese. It probably has too much basil in it. It'll mostly retain some sweetness, though.
We had Trolls too. When they first came out, they didn't have clothes so all the PTA moms made clothes out of felt to sell at the annual carnival. They totally sold out in the first hour.

I have one still, that stayed in my toy drawer at my paternal grandparents' place. I loved that little doll.

There are no dolls named Sheryl(or Cheryl, for that matter). One less thing for kids at school to tease me with, I guess.

Talks more than any doll. Ever. ijs.

That site Jessica linked to calls the Beautiful Cynthia doll, Best Friend Cynthia, but I'm pretty sure of her name. I do think they said, "She's your best friend" on the commercials, though.

They don't have Chrissy and Velvet on the site. Bummer. I think I still have mine. But they have doll ick from years in cellars and attics.

Art Crawl!!!

Topic!Cindy -- thank you. It's good to know that there is a way to make this stuff edible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But you do have a you-action-figure....

Which, really? Works just fine.

Does your wet site get a ton of hits? What about provocateuse in general?

Yes, I guess. I went over bandwidth for last month -- wet did 90GB (49,000 page views/day), spectacles 36GB, barefoot 30GB and handson 29GB. Best of brings up the rear with 7GB.

sumi, some salt won't hurt, either. I hate sweet sauce. What kind did you buy?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There are a few Jessica dolls out there according to Google. Naturally, one is a sex toy. Another is a giraffe.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My favorite quote from the kiddles link

If there was a place to stuff a a small doll, Mattel found it!

Hee!

I'm hexing Allyson's condecending asshole payroll guy.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Chrissy was the redhead, right?

IIRC, our Chrissy had dark brown hair, but I could be wrong. Our cousin did cut off her Chrissy's hair, so she couldn't play hair-do with us.

Dawn dolls were about six inches tall, right? We had those, mostly because they were the right scale for our dollhouse (built by Dad and Grandpa). Of course, it was rather strange to see a contemporary doll sitting in a Victorian decorated house.

Crissy dolls: [link]

I had one of the ones toward the top, with the short, orange, lacy number. Oh, the 70s.
