1. don't take photos when you're drunk
2. if you do, make sure your bathrobe covers your junk, otherwise you'll have to clone a bunch of fabric to cover yourself:) just sayin'...

I know two million is small compared to many of my favourite ladies on Flickr, but to me it's another milestone
I hope you will all continue to enjoy my pictures and comment for me

The two latest gals I got were ones I REALLY wanted, so they weren’t in perfect condition, but I enjoyed sprucing them up! On the left is whom I think is my new favourite out of all of my Sindys, a Titian ‘Styling Sindy’ from 1980/81. She has the ‘2 GEN/ 1077 and 033055X’ markings on the back of her head, and her hair has thinned out a bit, (mine has too after some 40-odd years! LOL) but it’s still very soft, shiny and glossy, and it’s to her waist, but looks a bit shorter in this side-ponytail hairstyle. But what I REALLY loved about her is that her head hasn’t faded at all, which is quite a common occurrence for these ‘Styling’ lasses. Her lips HAD faded though, to a sickly creamy banana colour, so I just gave her lips a light coral pink wash and a whisper of blush on her cheeks and it made all the difference. I wanted to put her in something very clean, classic and simple so as not to detract from her gorgeous hair or delicate beauty, so her outfit is a combination of ‘Mix & Match’ items from the 1978 and 1979 ranges, in a very classic colour scheme of navy, white (LOVE those flared linen-like pants!) and a dash of bright yellow in that sporty fleece jacket.
My other gal on the right is the 1976 Funtime Sindy with ash-blonde hair that surprisingly kinda looks streaked, which is a very cool 70’s touch. It’s quite an interesting haircut, as it’s more of a wavy ‘shag’ style that’s more layered than I thought it would be, with a bit of a ‘pouf’ in the back (which in itself is very 70’s, too) and as you can see, it has also retained its natural curl. I just had to lightly brush it into shape and that was it. Another tell-tale sign that it’s genuine (and not just cut from a longer haired gal, as I have seen on some of the ones offered on eBay,) is that the hair rooting lays a bit flatter and closer to the head, and doesn’t ‘stick out’ as much as on the longer haired gals, especially around the back and sides, where it softly waves really close to her head. Her hair was the only thing that was perfect on her, as she was very TLC when I got her, but I think she scrubbed up nicely, especially in her 1978 ‘Mix & Match’ skirt, blouse and bag, which I think is a very suitable mid 70’s look for her.
