My Ginny doll was my favorite. All those clothes and she had a little trunk to keep them in. She had red hair.
I did not realize that Madam Alexander made Ginny dolls.
My daughter Boomette had a lot of Madam Alexander dolls. Storybook characters and a bride and Scarlett O'Hara. We had recently moved and the dolls were still packed in a box in our basement. I came home from work one day only to find that our dog had torn open the box and had absolutely massacred all those dolls. There were arms and legs and heads flung everywhere. It was awful. An ugly scene indeed. Even Scarlett did not survive.
I also remember my paper dolls. The movie star ones. There were always two that came in the book for a quarter I think it was. Both were supposed to be the movie star, but one of them always looked the most like Grace Kelly or whoever it was. And that was the one that always had the most glamorous clothes, too. My cousin came over to play paper dolls almost every Saturday. She's an only child so she did not understand gutter fighting. I always made her play with the paper doll who did not look like the movie star. You know, she still brings that up in conversation. She really needs to get over it, I think.
