...as do my trio of nineties blondes (Alexis, Tiffany, and Suzie)...
...and Candela Laura, Sour Apple Mia, and Ilaria.
Oh, Sour Apple Mia? She's new. I nickname my Mia dolls based on hair color, with this one being sour apple green. Oh, and dig these freckles!!!
That's the other reason why I wanted this Mia in my crew. Some Mia dolls have freckles and some don't, and I wanted one with (my other two don't have 'em). Oh, and Ddung wanted to join in the fun. She saw this Reddit post and politely asked to stand with Teal Mia, since the doll in the Reddit post looks like one of the smaller Mia dolls.
So cute! I need to do a post on big-headed dolls; for some reason they seem to be popular.
Oh yeah, my new-to-me Sun Rubber girl also wants to drop in. She hitched a ride to work with me today.
I love those sugar skull buttons! The bag on my walker has two of them, one black and one white. My little doll is not bothered by them; some dolls and people get freaked out by sugar skulls.
That's it for my International Doll Day this year; being on that walker has put the kabosh on carrying my dolls to a more interesting location for pictures. Hopefully soon that'll change.
Happy International Doll Day,

Happy International Doll Day. I appreciate you taking the time to feature a range of dolls in this post, especially since you're having mobility limitations right now. The Sun Rubber doll reminded me of a song/playground rhyme that my mother learned as a girl, about a "rubber dolly". Since there's also a line in the song about "kissing a soldier", I have a suspicion there might be a hidden euphemism in there that's not actually appropriate for children.

Oh, I like playground rhymes. Yeah, a rubber dolly kissing a soldier kinda sounds risque...I've gotta look this one up! Believe it or not putting these pictures together wasn't super-arduous; I just worked with what I had where I had it. So glad you liked, though!
DeleteI did a quick online search using the lyrics. Apparently it's called "The Clapping Song", and it was covered by a singer named Shirley Ellis.

I think Woody Guthrie may have had a hand in it too...or he was influenced by "The Clapping Song," one or the other. The song in question is fittingly titled "Rubber Doll."
