KIM NOVAK 2

KIM NOVAK 2.

I've been searching for this set for years and finally found it recently. Kim Novak was of course a big film star in the 1950's and 60's with roles in PICNIC and VERTIGO. To me this is everything a paper doll set should be: Dolls with nice poses, well structured and believable fashions and my favorite thing Hats!

For another Kim Novak set check out the Sept.24, 2023 post. 

 

BEAUTY QUEENS

BEAUTY QUEENS.

I turned 70 yesterday and here's something else that's 70. A brightly colored set of three Beauty Queens and their gowns from 1955. Quite a lovely trio.

 

ROYAL PRINCESSES

ROYAL PRINCESSES.

This elegant set features the British princesses Elizabeth and Margaret in the1930's and includes several outfits including their Girl Guide uniforms and royal regalia. I like how the robes are meant to bend forward so that they lay flat in front of each doll. A beautifully drawn set and worthy of it's subjects indeed.

 

TEENAGE TRUDY

TEENAGE TRUDY.

Here's another little set from the 1940's with cute outfits in the styles of those days to round out the week.

More fun and unusual paper dolls coming up next week.

 

MS. FISHER'S MODERN MYSTERIES

MS. FISHER'S MODERN MYSTERIES.

I haven't done a mash-up in awhile (adding new heads to existing dolls to make new characters) but when I saw this groovy bridal pair I immediately thought of the Australian television show which I have just finished binge watching. So here are Peregrine Fisher and her on again, off again beau Detective James Steed from that stylish 1960's inspired series. 

They will finally be married if only in paper doll form.

BETTY BREWER

BETTY BREWER.

Betty was a teenage B Movie actress in the 1940's. Her only major film was MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH in 1942 but she did warrant a paper doll set of her own at least. It is something of a collector's item today. For me the representation of 1940's fashions is the key allure here making this a very nice little set indeed.
