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. She was pretty much ignored by potential buyers.
When this doll failed to sell, I decided to try dying her hair pink to match her outfit. This photo shows what she looked like after her second makeover.	Dying her hair did the trick since I sold this doll.
