Clothes That Have to Go

The above photo shows the second outfit of Blossom Russo. I'm downsizing some clothes, too, and guess what will be in the OUT pile? You guessed right; that outfit. The one Blossom wears - the keyboard vest and gold lame skirt - will stay. They're kitschy cute. The speckled vest most of all - has to go. It's the cheesiest of plastics. Bleh! Shudder.

Some of my dolls have confessed to having nightmares about the speckled vest touching them.

Surprise Keeper: Blossom Russo by Tyco

Any Blossom fans out there?

Well, I did not follow the television series although I recall there being a Blossom television series. Something about a teenager and her dumb brother - probably why I didn't watch it then: extravagantly stupid characters have always annoyed me. But when I saw the doll, I thought, "Oh, new face." So she joined the rank of dolls whose face I liked. She's got character. And I love the dated outfit ;-D




Here is a close up of her face - and yes, she has great teeth. Great size, but hey, remember the adjective, character ....



So she's headed for the debox lot. A surprise keeper because she is not Barbie-pretty or flexible. She has a nice nose, squinty eyes, and a dazzling smile. Ten inches of charm. I would eventually like to add her brother Joey and her friend Six to my collection - they were also produced by Tyco. (I can and do overwrite provided story lines.) These dolls are still available and can be reasonably priced - say under $20.00 each or possibly for even less given today's economy.

And NOOO I have NOT been mesmerized by the teeth.
