Net Neutrality Advocacy Videos

Our senators need to know that an overwhelming majority of Americans want an open Internet. We don’t want corporations blocking what we say or do online. We want every website, from biggies like Amazon and Google to sites operated by millions of small businesses and bloggers, to be treated the same, with no fast lanes for companies with deep pockets!

 

Ponytails and Swirls


Blonde Ponytail #4


1. Ponytails

Blonde Ponytail #1 with Complete Face Repaint and Hair Restyle

Up-Do Hair Styles on Ponytails

Up-Do Style for a Titian Ponytail

More Up-Do Styles for Later Ponytails

Banana Curl - Another alternative to a complete re-root


Single Hard Curl - Dolls with examples of the single hard curl

Multi-Curl look for the Ponytails (as opposed to the single 'hard roll' curl) - Many collectors do not enjoy the one hard curl and prefer a beautiful multi-curl look instead! This is especially nice on the later ponytails that have such thick hair that it is often too difficult to style it all into a single, thick hard roll


Brunette #3 Ponytail with multi-curls and a Brunette #5 with a single hard curl
 

Brunette #1 Barbie - This lovely doll was 'well-loved' but still retained her 'good bones!' She simply needed to be cleaned, have her slightly-trimmed hair washed and re-styled and also have a touch-up to her lips (plus some blush, 'new' hoop earrings, and nail polish added)
 

Blonde #7 Ponytail - This pretty doll unfortunately arrived with stained vinyl on her lip area from a previous lip paint attempt. She also needed her brows done and her hair restyled

Brunette #3 Ponytail Restoration - This lovely doll arrived in very played-with condition. Here is how she looked after her hair re-style and new face paint.

Ponytails with Face Paint Damage after Tarnex Treatment - These ponytails had been previously treated for green ear inside of their heads which resulted in face paint damage, especially to the eye paint

The Restoration of 2 Childhood Treasures; Blonde #4s
 

Beautiful Brunette Ponytails - With just the basics, these 'well-loved' childhood ponytails were restored and displayable once again!

Titian Ponytail - hair restyled, fresh eye paint and liner, brows and lips
 

The Restoration of three Blonde Ponytails - Here is one #3 and  two blonde #5s that have been restored, including one that was re-rooted (but original bangs were left intact)
 

Lovely Blonde #4 - brows and lips touched up, her hair restyled


Brunette Ponytail #3s
- These lovely ponytails turned out gorgeous with their multi curls, a good cleaning and face paint restorations




2. Swirl Ponytails:

Childhood Swirl Barbies - Beautiful Platinum Blonde with the coral European Platinum Swirl lip color, a Golden Blonde with coral lip color, and a brunette with an extensive neck split
 

Blonde and Brunette Swirls
 

Platinum Blonde Swirl - This beauty was very dirty and needed the usual face paint touch ups and a hair wash/style
 

Lovely Titian Swirl Ponytails - hair restyled, nose flaw repaired, lips, brows and lashes touched up
 

Platinum Blonde Swirl that Needed Minimal Restorations I do just the minimum necessary so your doll looks new (and original) once again!
