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!

1965 Brunette Bendable Leg Midge (head)

This very cute Midge (head only) has all original face paint except for one (right) brow which I touched up. She has her original hair style. Her ribbon headband is still intact, though it has faded over the years. Midge's face paint is beautiful!  She has one (at each earlobe) small pin prick but she does not have (nor ever had) green ear. 
She has no neck splits

Price: $50 (head only)
 


(Modern) Reproduction Swirl "Barbie Learns to Cook" OOAK Re-Root

One Of A Kind! This lovely doll would still be considered "NRFB!"  I carefully opened the box top and removed the doll's head only. I re-rooted her original lemon blonde hair with this fabulous pink saran hair that is a perfect match to her original lip color. Then I styled her new 'do' using the original orange ribbon that she came with.  I carefully replaced the doll's head without disturbing the package or body.

Price: $300
OOAK Dolls For Sale


Platinum Blond Twist N Turn Francie (1969)

This pale blonde TNT Francie (also called a 'Short Flip' Francie) is very hard to find in this rare hair color! This Francie is in NM condition! She is beautiful in every way. She has pretty coloring and all original face paint. Only the tip of her nose needs a dab of color (which I am happy to do for you before she leaves). Her lashes are all original and she is missing 2 or 3 on her right eye (which I am happy to replace for you). Her hair is in its original style. I am NOT sure if this is the original head band! I don't believe it is since I have always heard that it is supposed to be 'stretchy.'  But it is a perfect match nonetheless.  Knees bend and click and arms are nice and tight. No neck splits, green ear or chew marks.  It looks like she has one earring hole by each ear, and the thread loop closure on the back of her suit is broken (She has all original buttons, however).  A truly beautiful Francie; rare and hard to find in this hair color and nice condition!

Price: $225

Black Francie Reproduction Doll and my OOAK Version


Before and After:  Repro Black Francie and my OOAK version

Here is an example of what I can do to improve the reproduction Black Francie doll.  As you can see in the before photo, the reproduction does not resemble the original Black Francie. 

Please email me if you are interested in purchasing my OOAK version or if you already have a repro Francie and would like me to create an OOAK original.
