What if the next historical doll was about you when you were 10 years old? What would your doll's meet outfit be? What would she look like? What would your pet be?

I was playing this game with a friend today, when talking about our daughters' doll collections. It was interesting to think about.

I then asked my daughter, and her doll would be AGOT 23, with the lilac glasses, and the new sparkly tunic outfit. She would need the doll's hair to be slightly longer. Her pet would be a chiuhuahua. (spelling?!) Very cute.

She then asked me, and thinking back to what I looked like when I was 10, I shuddered to consider the results permanently captured in a doll!

Imagine, AGOT 7 with all of her hair cut super short. (Not a stylish cut -- imagine a bowl placed upside down on your head, and then cutting the hair with blunt scissors!) Add a too-small handmade holly-hobbie pink and green print dress, and multi-colored red, yellow and blue tennis shoes. My pet would be a goat.

I'm not sure my doll would sell.

My daughter still hasn't stopped laughing about this! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
