Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store. This doll actually had a painted white crotch. (Maybe it was supposed to simulate underwear, I don't know.)	Here is a back view of the doll as she originally looked.	Here is the doll after her first makeover.
When the doll initially failed to sell, I decided to dye her hair blue to make her look more interesting to potential buyers.
