Here is what this doll looked like when I first bought her from the thrift store.	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.
When she failed to sell at a few shows, I decided to dye her hair red.	Dying her hair red did the trick since I ultimately sold her.
