Savetheinternet.com The FCC is now deciding whether to reassert its authority to protect broadband access from phone and cable company take-over! The telecom companies want to be able to block access to online information and prioritize their own content and services over their competitors'.

Below are three lovely examples of Color Magic re-roots

 

Here is a lovely Color Magic Barbie that has been re-rooted with new 'Red Flame' saran hair

 

Another doll re-rooted with red flame hair:

 

 

This Color Magic was re-rooted with 'Midnight' Saran hair:


This Color Magic was previously the usual bright golden yellow. She was re-rooted into a lovely champagne platinum. Her unusual low-colorface paint is original and un-touched except for a slight hint of blush.

 

Another lovely Color Magic Re-root. This high color doll was once a golden yellow and now she is a beautiful champagne platinum.

 

And Another Gorgeous Champagn-Platinum Re-root (previously a balding golden blonde with beautiful face paint).  These dolls can be saved and enjoyed once again!

 

This Midnight Color Magic (with the beautiful low-color lips) was missing plugs in the top/front. I was able to re-root the plugs with new, saran hair. It was a great match, and her original hair was left intact:

 

Here is another Color Magic that was missing about 25 hair plugs in front:
