I went to the Cu doll show in Marietta Ga this past Sat. It was
wonderful, I found all kinds of things I 'needed' . I found one of the
new Brenda Starr dolls that Tonner redesigned & she reminds me a lot
of Tyler Wentworth doll & I hope can wear her clothes..mine is the
one in the polka dot swim outfit & she was $45 . I also got one of
the Tonner 's jointed TW dolls that has the very curly blonde hair ,
dressed in white cotton underwear & called Sport Tyler, I think ...for
just $35 & I know this is a good price..love that hair. When I
brought her home, I dressed her in the long pink outfit I also bought
& sat her in a gilded chair I have & she looks so neat, One sales lady
took off a Tyler outfit from a doll she had on display..it's that
pretty pink one with the long taffeta like skirt & a pink sweater
set,... second issue in that the beads on the sweater aren't just pink
but a mix of lt. brown, pink & white which makes them more visible..&
let me have it cheaper than usual.
There's also a woman there who redesigns dolls & sells their outfits
very cheaply but they're usually missing something ..I got Tyler's
long , slim, silvery gray eve. dress with the stole & roses but minus
shoes & jewelry for- $10. & I got 2 nude Gene dolls whose face paint
had been removed & so are faceless, for $5 each . Plus found a set
of Darci & Erica dolls, this last one I've been looking for
forever...for $20 for them both. And for $2, a bag of stuff that
including a 70's Skipper dress but the real find in there was from the
Barbie old store display from about the 80's..has the white plastic ,
non colored, bust of Barbie, that hats are to be displayed on & a
white. plastic hand that jewelry was supposed to be displayed from plus
a mirror & other display items that all sat ontop of the Barbie
display cases ..now & then I come across a display case in the thrift
store but you never find these display pieces that afix to the top of
the cases.
I got a mint set of Midge wigs for $75. Also Charles Joseph
designed these neat little wigs in all colors & sizes to fit, Barbie,
Tyler, & Cissy I think. & got one of those for Barbie, a short Red
number.
I got the 35th Annivers. Ken in black...almost missed out on getting
him...I really wanted that mini Ken that comes in with his little box.
I got a Modern Circle Barbie for $25 , she was selling more expensively
than the other 3 Mod. Circle friends which you could get for just $15.
Got doll stands , 12 for $11 , good price.

But my question is, does any one know how to remove the vintage Midge
wigs which have melted into the stands. Think putting them in the
freezer would help? Maybe close to a source of heat? They won't just
pop off unfortunatly
