A lot of Silkstones have that judging ex.pression. It was very much the style of the vintage and original Barbies, which the Silkstones are modelled from. I'm quite fond of it, if I'm honest.

Elinor is very considerate of others, even if she does get a bit huffy around those who do not meet her standards.

What a sweet bear. Love her cute pink nose.
Oh, very much do. You can feel a Silkstone in your hand, a playline Barbie feels like nothing in comparison. I don't know if I have a playline one that looks similar enough that a comparison could be done... Hm, that's something I'll put some thought on.
Thank you!

Elinor is quite lovely. I was not aware that you had more than one Silkstone.
The Ladies Who Lunch include Elinor, Clarice, Susie, and on the odd occasion, Cousin Monday.
I am fortunate enough to have two. Elinor, who was given as a gift, and Clarice who I managed to find as a complete bargain.

Her gaze would be terrifying to come under, I agree.

Especially with cocktails, darling.

168. F is for Firework
From the 2012 Charlie Bears collection, Firework is 17" tallk and does have some blue tips in with all that gorgeous purple plush. I tried a few times but I don't know if I managed to get the mixture of colours properly captured - there's a few bears like that, where the mix will only show up under the right type of light.
