Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store. For some reason this doll had a painted pink crotch (to simulate underwear?).	Here is a back view of the doll as she originally looked. You can see how wild her hair was before I poured boiling water over it to get it to lay flat.	Here is the doll after her first makeover. She was pretty much ignored by potential buyers.
When she failed to sell, I decided to do a second makeover of this doll. I dyed her hair blue and added pointed fairy ears to her head.	Fairy ears were made out of air-dry clay before being attached to the sides of her head. (They were painted in flesh color after they were dried.)
Despite the second makeover, I wasn't able to sell her. So I did a third makeover where I kept her hair blue but removed her fairy ears.
