FANNY BRICE - BABY SNOOKS

FANNY BRICE - BABY SNOOKS.
This character was first introduced by the legendary Fanny Brice in the Ziegfeld Follies and later popularized in the golden age of radio. Everyone alive back then would have been familiar with the "Baby" and her imaginary antics and Brice continued to play her for the rest of her life to the delight of audiences around the world.

MOMMY & ME

MOMMY & ME.
To wrap up our "Dress Alike" week here is a set from 1955 with more clearly defined roles for the dolls. A mother and her daughter dressing alike, what could be more natural.....until we get to those evening gowns. What on Earth is that about? Still a fun set with interesting period fashions.
More paper doll posts are coming next week!

TWO MARYS

TWO MARYS.
A bit of a misnomer since there are actually four Mary's in this set. Unlike other examples of "dress alike" paper dolls this set doesn't enlighten us as to the relationship between the two. Mother & daughter? Sister's? Younger & older versions? It's left up to you to decide. Still a very nice set with attractive 1950's fashions.
Still more dress alike dolls coming tomorrow.
