Séverine, the iconic OOAK vintage doll by Julian Kalinowski, wondered what it would feel like to have molded hairstyles. Luckily, her friend, 1963 American Character Popi doll, the pop-apart fashion model doll, lent her hers! The looks, well, pop out of the ordinary. Vive la différence!
Ever since Annie Marks (played by Raven Goodwin) uttered this famous line in the groundbreaking film Lovely & Amazing, dolls everywhere felt a monumental sense of validation, for someone, finally, dared to ask the dreaded question.
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.
