Thanks everyone TWO months of doll a day/week done already! Yay us!

This little girl was sort of Sunsette's predecessor. She was my favourite doll when I was quite little. I don't remember taking her a lot of places but I did play with her a lot. I most remember making her a house out of a cardboard box. I cut out windows & stuck scraps of cloth on them for curtains, drew art & things on the walls, flowers on the outside walls... I think there was furniture from another dollhouse or something, and maybe a bed made from a kleenex box? I made a yard from cut-open paper grocery bags on which I drew grass and flowers and a path, and there were tree trunks made of Tinkertoy with tops of coloured tissue, and a Tinkertoy swing... Alas, there are no photos as far as I know.
I think she was a prize in a family game night. I always assumed she was a dollar-store type cheapie no-name doll. Now that we have the wonders of the intergoogle, I searched the name on her back and was very surprised to find the Mego doll company was quite a thing, and that she is a "Dizzy Girl" which was their version of another doll called "Dawn". And depending what you read, they are somewhat in demand now by vintage collectors. It was quite strange to look on eBay and see copies of her, but kind of cool to see she has sisters out there.

She's kind of out-of-proportion with Sunsette so I doubt they'll be in any movies together, but maybe I should let her stay out of the closet and give her some camera time?
