DORIS DAY & CARY GRANT MASH UP

DORIS DAY & CARY GRANT MASH UP.
Something about this obscure little bridal set said Doris & Cary to me and so I turned it into a set of them by adding their heads onto the dolls. It's much better now don't you think?
For another Mash up set featuring Doris Day & Rock Hudson check out the post for April 19, 2024.

BARBARA BRITTON

BARBARA BRITTON.
She was a Hollywood "B" movie actress, mostly in westerns but her fame came in the early days of live television when she was the on screen spokesperson for Revlon cosmetics. Although an obscure personality today she lives on through this deluxe 5 doll set which is very well drawn with some scrumptious 1950's fashions on display.

600th POST! - HAYLEY MILLS MAGIC MASH UP

600th POST! - HAYLEY MILLS MAGIC MASHUP.
We've reached our 600th post and to celebrate here is a double mash up of my favorite paper doll character - Hayley Mills. What started out as a rather nondescript "magic" paper doll set has been converted by adding Hayley's head and the addition of tabs to all of the outfits to create an entirely new set that I think really pops. There are a huge number of clothes too with my favorite thing of all - Hats!

If you love Hayley like I do check out these other paper doll sets from previous posts:
August 6, 2023 - August 9, 2023 - December 27, 2023 - April 9, 2024 - May 16, 2024 - and July 23, 2025. And Many Thanks for following along on our Paperdollapalooza journey!

DISNEY MAGIC SLEEPING BEAUTY

DISNEY MAGIC SLEEPING BEAUTY.
This was a deluxe "Magic" paper doll set where the clothes were supposed to be held in place by static electricity. Nice idea except that it seldom worked. I have added tabs to the outfits so that this can be enjoyed as a conventional paper doll set again. And a very nice set it is too with lovely gowns for Beauty and handsome fashions for the Prince including his suit of armor.
I have even created a bi-fold background for posing the dolls in front of by utilizing background art from the film.
