It's been evening on November 11th (11.11.) and completely impulsively I pressed buy now button again... My soft spot for old good Teresa doll got activated by this auction picture...
Like seiouslu, what could I do - shiny black hair with fringe, dark red lips and large brown eyes... combined with some fine gold plastic bling bling, bend elbow and proper old-school Mattel dolly outfit... and all of it was below a fiver for sure...
She turned out to be even more fun:-)
here is some of the excitement of 'deboxing' caught on camera;-) or sth.
a papery cocoon emerged...
with this beauty inside, indeed
Top turned out to be nicely soft and velvety and the artificial arctic fox super fluffy!
The Jacket is fastened with velcro at the back and is separate from the skirt which is always fab!
Oh just look at her! perfect hispanic doll for real!
The skirt is really large an dlong and made from very high quality, sturdy and rustling taffeta in pink, black and gold - tres festive!
To my surprise she has very stylish black pumps included, one of which was for a while missing in this pile of papers...

There is a sneaky from future peek again

Then I started to investigate as this yellow ring did not make much sense and first of all there did not seem to be any latina in this line...
It's not a great mistery that outfit belongs to one of AVON's Christmas dolls 1996's Winter Rapsody one to be precise.
There was a Blonde, Brunette and classic Christie in that edition:
all in rather Easter yellow-green-violet-pink make-up...
Then I have made an investigation about Teresa with red studs and to my not so Wintery surprise, she turned out, quite soon, to be actually a beach doll from Hawaii 1999 line...
she is rather perfect and I swear she must be my last one with this mold!
To my surprise they cam with a plastic beach bucket and spade set - to waste your new doll completely and immediately, oh dear
There was all massive group of holidaymakers that year...
Colorful studs gave me additional idea, and yes...
I think one of my first ebay purchases, my perfect Asha with brown hair, wearing lingerie is most probably from the same line! Bingo again!
Here they are reunited (in future;-)

She's absolutely beautiful :-). The make-up is lovely with the red lipstick and brown eyes. Asha is also a beauty!
