For a doll's hair can make or break the deal. Dolldom, always in search of the beautifully odd (for odd is beautiful) profiles a combo made in fashion fantasy: Miss Fashion Queen Barbie (reproduction by Mattel) wearing a perfectly static coif from American Character's Popi doll set, circa 1963. Miss Popi (never to be confused with the current Poppy by Integrity Toys) was meant to be popped apart to facilitate dressing her in cut-just-by-you vinyl fashions.
The wig is a coquettish pageboy in a shiny patent leather black that promises to stay in place regardless of whatever, making this doll the perfect model by the seashore or other windy location shoots. Outfit by Retros.

Brilliant! I've never seen this delightful Popi dolly before! What a fantastic idea! I LOVE the plastic do on Miss Fashion Queen. In fact, I prefer it over her hair wigs! And Liz's outfit....fabulous as always! It's all I can do to resist collecting Barbie after I see your photos.! Have a great dolly day! Megin.
