  4. Who would do that to a Princess? I would keep the bob too. I now you will give her the spa treatment.

  5. Hello from Spain: what luck with this doll so different from all the blondes. She has beautiful dark eyes. Too bad her hair cut but still looks gorgeous. As always, you find beautiful Barbies. Keep in touch.

  6. Georgia Girl, Thanks, the Thrift Store was much better about a year ago. I was able to find two or three nice dolls at a time. I am lucky if I find one when I go.

    Aunt Lou, I know the Thrift Store I go to buys donations from different charities. Lately their prices have gone up.

    Vanessa, I know, but she is still very pretty.

    Brini, She will have to go and get a SPA Treatment.

    Marta, Thanks, I like brunettes because they are so different from the blonds.

  8. I have this doll. From the gold mesh cap on her head, I assumed she was 'Barbie as Juliet'
