Tuesday Taylor’s Ideal World

One of my favorite fashion dolls in the late 1970s was Tuesday Taylor. Her scalp swiveled so that she could have blond or brunette hair. (Half of her scalp had pale blond hair; the other half had brunette hair.) Guess what side I preferred? Remember that was back when blond Superstar Barbie reigned. So my Tuesday Taylor was always brunette.

Tuesday's black friend, Taylor Jones, had a similar hair option only her choices were auburn and black. I prefered the auburn for her because I felt that it worked better for her light eyebrows.

I should note that ALL Tuesday Taylors had light blue eyes. I darkened them to navy when I was younger. The default color of the dolls match that shown on the doll box.

Characters in Tuesday Taylor's World included:

Tuesday Taylor
Her younger sister, Dodi*
Her boyfriend, Eric
Taylor Jones

Here is a photo showing the Suntan Tuesday Taylor, Suntan Dodi, and Suntan Eric dolls:

This photo shows the basic Tuesday Taylor and the basic Taylor Jones:

The issued dolls were ...

Beauty Queen Tuesday Taylor
Fashion Model Tuesday Taylor

I have updated this post to include the information about Taylor Jones' hair choices - thanks for the reminder, DBG. DBG might have the Fashion Model Taylor Jones doll; I look forward to hearing more about that doll from her.

*Dodi has the same face and mold as Dodi from the Tammy series. That Dodi was the friend of Tammy's little sister, Pepper.

Linh Found - Surprise Visit to the 1970s

I almost suspect that my dolls and action figures come alive when I leave them. How else can I explain finding missing Dragon Linh in a bag with Ideal Tuesday Taylor and her half-sister Taylor Jones (their relationship as I recall it from my childhood years)? While my action figures and dolls interact - I put them in scenes together - I don't recall placing these figures together.

Here they go, Ideal Corporation's Tuesday Taylor and Taylor Jones flanking Dragon Linh. Tuesday and Taylor both wear Ideal Tuesday Taylor fashions that are NOT their original bodysuits with miniskirts. Linh wears her original pants, top, hat, and sandals. No original scarf for Linh: I bought her and the clothes she has separate.



Talk about dolls that make you go "hmmm ..."

everGirl Dolls by Playmates

"Every Girl's an everGirl ... " the everGirl doll's slogan, 2005

The everGirl dolls by Playmates are part of a Nickelodeon brand for tweens. The everGirl dolls are sold individually; none of the dolls that I own have specific names. (There seems to be four recurring characters in a handheld game associated with this brand - Joy, Hope, Skye, and Starr - but that information does not seem available online now.) Each 10" tall doll wears a corduroy jacket, an everGirl logo tee shirt, unhemmed denim jeans, loafers, and a white over-sized carryall bag. Beneath that outfit, the dolls have painted on white bra and white panties. Their arms bend at the elbows (jointed), and they have click-bend knees like standard modern Barbies.

If you want a blonde, brunette, or red-haired doll, you can choose a doll with any of those hair colors AND a choice of blue, brown, or green eyes.

If you want an ethnic doll, you may choose from an olive complexioned, brown-eyed Asian doll; a caramel complexioned, brown-eyed Hispanic doll; OR a medium brown complexioned, brown-eyed Black doll.

Here's a photo of my four - Asian American, Hispanic American, African American, and European American - everGirls.



The intended child owner could take the everStyle Quiz to determine her everStyle:

Preppy (Green butterfly icon)
Trendy (Hot pink flower icon)
Funky (Purple star icon)
Sporty (Pink lightening bolt icon)

You can see some of those fashions in the photo below:
