OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND

OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND.
As far as I can tell this great star of the 1930's and beyond was never given the deluxe paper doll treatment which is a shame. So with my mash-up skills I've created one for her after all these years. The letters on the tabs of some of the outfits indicate which fabulous hat goes with which costume.
So now you can add Olivia to your collection of movie star dolls.

SUSAN DEY - PARTRIDGE FAMILY

SUSAN DEY - PARTRIDGE FAMILY.
This is a strange little set. David Cassidy was the breakout teen star for the hit TV show THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY in the late 1960's but his TV sister Susan Dey was marketed, to girls in particular, as a role model in both fashion and otherwise. These outfits, inspired by Laura Ashley fashions which were popular at the time, really reflect that wholesome image.
I've made up a tri-fold background for the dolls to be posed in front of  that also reflects the Pop Art style that was popular in the late 60's and early 70's.
And I couldn't resist compiling these little bits of wisdom attributed to Susan which graced some of the clothing sheets. These gave this set the feel of a teen magazine so popular at the time and I'm sure little girls just ate it all up.

PROM NIGHT

PROM NIGHT.
Oh the 1980's! Such a mish-mash of styles and colors. If I hadn't lived and worked during that period I probably wouldn't believe the way we all dressed back then. This set reminds me of those teen movies like PRETTY IN PINK and SIXTEEN CANDLES. I actually made some dresses very similar to these as a costumer back then and wore suits with the wide lapels. Memories....
I've added a bi-fold background to pose these dolls in front of just in case you too want to do the stroll down memory lane too.

ANNETTE GOES WEST

ANNETTE GOES WEST.
It's mash-up time again and here is another version of Annette Funicello, this time on a trip out west, where she samples the culture and wardrobe from the part of the world that I live in. The clothes will fit both dolls of course.
There is a lot of Annette all over this site and her dolls seem just as popular now as they were back in the 1960's.
