It's Whoopi!
Whoopi arrived in Dolltown after an extended hunt in the doll world for more diversity.
In Dolltown we have lots of diversity in doll shapes, skin colors, materials, eye sizes, expressions... But still we noticed that, just like in the community around us, we have more of some than others.
This is a Berenguer doll. I have 3 very cute baby Berenguers, from a hunt for Dolltown babies, but I had never run across older girls like Whoopi here.
We all fell in love with this girl, even if she does have trouble tilting her head to look at others. Not much down or up head motion. But almost a smile! That is very good. We like smilers in Dolltown...
But let's see who is coming to keep Whoopi company. There is quite a bunch of little girls...
Whoopi bonded quickly with Shasta, our tallest "little girl" in Dolltown.
With the two of them in charge, I feel more relaxed leaving the little girls to their own devices.
Both Whoopi and Shasta take their role of "big sisters" seriously.
But not too seriously!
Their big sister role is easy with little girls like Phoebe to look after.
Phoebe is our child prodigy. She knows so much for such a little girl.
Sometimes we think she knows everything.
We treat her like an encyclopedia. Sometimes we call her "Wiki Phoebe".
Or we say: "Just google Phoebe!"
You'd never think to look at her!
Phoebe's best bud, Fancy Nancy, can be a handful even though she is very sweet.
She gets lost in her fanciful world of embellishment and forgets to go to get her chores done.
How did these two even become friends?
Well...Phoebe and Fancy Nancy can share clothes.
Fancy Nancy helps Phoebe choose hair ribbons, something that would never occur to Phoebe.
And Phoebe has taught Fancy Nancy new things like...silk ribbons are made by worms.
Fancy Nancy isn't sure she wants to know that!
Here is pretty Helen Kish doll, all in pink.
We took lots of photos of Kish and we'll post them separately.
And then our little vintage Tonner, Vera.
That means two bff's on their way.
Vera's friend Lilac Moon, a Berdine Creedy ball joint doll with luminous skin, and purple eyes...
And another little Tonner, a Platinum blonde Patsy.
We call her Gabby because, well...
Gabby gets the attention of the group by saying, "You'll never guess!"
"What?" we all answer.
"I saw a polar bear! It was wearing skis!"
Okay, even in a place like Dolltown, that sounds farfetched!
While Gabby told her story, Oiya slipped in to the Magic Library.
She's wearing the prettiest dress!
And our prize shrug from Kay Marie, all the way from Australia!
Why, Oiya!
You are adorable!
She usually heads for the plaid shirts and ripped jeans.
(Or the jeans are ripped when she returns from an adventure.)
Usually she hangs out with the two oldest girls, Shasta and Whoopi.
(Or with Uley and the boys!)
But Oiya's dress choice today has caught Kish's attention.
"Pink! And we both have ginger pigtails!"
That creates instant rapport...
The Dolltown little girls.
Such variety!
This is how we got to know, and appreciate, some of our favorite doll designers!
Can we resist adding more friends?
Another Heidi Plusczok, like Oiya?
Get practical! That just means more clothes to dress these cuties.
Right now they all share one box of clothes, for all seasons, and all activities.
We're good!

Hip hip hooray for diversity. Dolltown looks like Main St. everywhere. Each doll has a different look and personality. New alliances are made. Just like in real life!!! Love Whoopi. Love Pearl. Love Gabby and Fancy Nancy and all the rest. Long live Dolltown and MOAD!!!!!
