[blparent] French Braid

Fri Sep 4 02:15:55 UTC 2009

We had a Barbie head a few years ago and Gab was absolutely terrified of it.
So I just threw it away.  Gab was so happy to find it gone. V

I know Luscy's a bit young for it, but do they still make doll heads?  Many 
years ago my sisters had them.  They were for hair styling and make-up.  It 
was just a bust, I guess.  They didn't really have shoulders but it wasn'q 
quite a stand.  I guess it did look more like the top of the shoulders.

P.S. Come to think of it, I don't think I've even seen them around.  Oh 
well, it was a thought.

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
