By now, everybody knows who these guys are. I'm so proud of them from the bottom of my heart. Such deserving individuals. This was fun's first photo shoot, and I was lucky enough to christen them to my camera, and watch them go of and do such better things. Their hard work and their music got them where they are today, which is holding the #1 song on iTunes for the past 5 weeks. All the love in the world goes to these guys. You officially, can't get away from them. Black Eyed Peas style, but in a good way.

Pleas excuse the mess, both the room and the dolly stuff. :P

Malcolm took this photo of me a few night's ago. I was sad I missed a dolly meet so had to console myself with some much needed dolly play time.

This was an extremely foggy day on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in Galveston, Texas. This is a combination of three images stitched together with Photoshop then manipulated to brighten and simplify the scene as it appeared to me that the image was less appealing without some extra help.

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: The fantasy of owning a blonde Skipper on an '87 body began during the flea market season of 2001. While with our parents at our regular flea market, we bought a blue table and chairs and a Pretty Surprise Barbie. When the nice lady who sold us the table packed it up for us, she moved another doll that we weren't buying off one of the chairs--a blonde, blue eyed Skipper with this body type. I think that may be what led to me becoming interested in Skipper and I know that it was what made me especially want a blonde one. I pined for a long time about not buying that Skipper doll. In late fall/early winter of 2002 or 2003 (depending on whether it was before or after the new year), we were at a REALLY gross indoor flea market. It was cluttered, dirty, and a bit scary. I had just recently acquired my beloved Robin (Pet Pals) and was more into Skipper than ever. I saw three disgusting dolls in bad, tattered clothing but wanted them because they were "old Skippers." The guy wanted five dollars a piece! One was a blonde 1990 Babysitter with awful hair, one was a Cool Crimp Courtney (the beauty of the bunch), and another was the Hawaiian Fun Skipper, the forth from the left in this photo. She reminded me a lot of that doll I left behind at another flea market a year earlier. So, while I thought the Courtney doll (christened Vanessa) the most exotic, I took more of a shine to this doll. She was incredibly rough at the time--she was on the wrong body (it was too pale for her tan face), she was rather bald, and what remained of her hair was pretty damaged. Still, she was like the blonde "old Skipper" I was pining for, with sweet blue eyes. I was acquiring a lot of dolls around this time but, of all the new Skippers, this doll got to play Robin's best friend. I named her Margie--Margie Valentine. She and Beach Party Cloe were such good friends to Robin and Yasmin that they more or less lived with the family. Our backstory was that they were siblings with a hard home life that slept over with Robin and Yasmin most nights. Margie was nearly as important as Robin and a lot of Robin's soap operas were centered on Margie. I honestly can say I love Margie as much as I love Robin and Daphne (Teen Time Courtney). She's just that much a part of my favorite memories of playing with my sister and of who I was as a teenager.

The doll second from the left is also a close friend. I named her Scooter. I got her sometime in 2003--not really that much later than I acquired Margie (who I may actually have gotten at the beginning of 2003 instead of the end of 2002). However, it still felt like an eternity later. I bought Scooter from sellers we dubbed "The Case People"--I believe she is one of the earliest finds we bought from them. Scooter is actually the doll who I got with the actual swimsuit. Trinket, far left, a later find from around 2004, stole it to wear on display in my room for a while. I've kept Trinket in it ever since because I like the lay of her bangs--they remind me of Margie's before Shelly fully re-rooted her (there wasn't much left of her hair!). When I finally found another swimsuit and hula skirt (separately from each other I may add), I gave them to Scooter because I felt she deserved it! While her new swimsuit is a little more stretched out than the one Trinket stole from her, she got the better hula skirt!

I got many Skippers in bins in 2003 and 2004 and, honestly, I can't remember where I got all of them. I got the doll on the far right, named Alana, around the same time as Trinket, but don't know which bin I found her in. In fact, she may have been a separate purchase, not a bin doll. However, I remember getting Trinket very clearly. She came in the same bin as William and Joy--our Beast and Belle dolls! We went to our Auntie Kim and Uncle Ray's the same day. We didn't have time to wash the dolls first, but we toted them along and played with them anyway. I vividly remember because I put poor William in a large baby doll diaper that actually fit him. I don't have such a strong memory with Alana, but I know I've had her since around the same time. Alana was also the funnest to try identifying--her kanekelon hair threw me off. All my others, including Margie, have saran (Margie's hair looks different because she got rerooted in 2012, but both her original hair and replacement hair were saran). So, while I don't remember getting Alana, I have the most memories of trying to crack the case of her identity back in 2011 when we re-immersed ourselves in dolls! The fifth doll from the left is Megan. I got her at a large outdoor flea market with Dad. I got her with the outfit she's wearing--which is funny because I got Margie in the same exact shirt! Megan reminds me more of Margie than any of my other Hawaiian Fun dolls. It's funny because I didn't pay Megan much attention when I got her, I was more excited about my first Todd and Pizza Party Courtney I bought with her--not to mention the ensemble I bought her for. She's grown so dear to me because of her uncanny resemblance to my beloved Margie. The third doll from the left is my latest acquisition. I got her in February 2020 in the "Tortured Treasures" lot. She luckily still had her swimsuit! I decided, at Shelly's suggestion to name her Margo. I have always liked the name Margo and think it is fitting because, like Megan, Margo reminds me a lot of Margie. Margo's head was floating around the bin when we got her and her neck needed repair. Like Margie, she was a battered beauty in need of rescue. Margie made Hawaiian Fun Skipper iconic to me. Ironically, she gained her station in life because she reminded me of a doll I wished I bought earlier. I later crossed paths with the seller that had the other doll and she still had her! (For the full story, see Wet 'n Wild.) While I am definitely glad to have been lucky enough to find my dream doll, and while she was a much better buy than Margie, and while I don't feel like she was less wonderful than I dreamed, I will always love Margie more! When I think "80s/90s blonde Skipper," I always picture Margie! So, while Sonya (Wet 'n Wild) was the doll I pined for, Margie was the one who stole my heart. I guess it's like that saying, "If you can't have the one you want, love the one you're with." And--I'm glad Margie and I found each other.
