Another Hippie Poppy and I Really Don't Care, Do You?

With so many members of the W Club who weren't even born yet in the 60's and who don't have any idea about what it was like, this doll will be ideal. As far as I'm concerned, she's just another hippie wannabe doll. The one unique thing I see is a hand making the peace sign. Now that's different and it's pretty funny. It looks slightly small but that may just be the photo.
I must tell you that most 'real' hippies do not have highlighted hair and do not wear eye makeup. But Poppy is not real and I really don't care. She looks as if she really doesn't care either. Do you?

I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

And I asked him, where are you going

And this he told me

I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm

I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band

I'm going to camp out on the land

I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you

I have come here to lose the smog

And I feel to be a cog in something turning

Well maybe it is just the time of year

Or maybe it's the time of man

I don't know who l am

But you know life is for learning

We are stardust

We are golden

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong

And everywhere there was song and celebration

And I dreamed I saw the bombers

Riding shotgun in the sky

And they were turning into butterflies

Above our nation

We are stardust

Billion year old carbon

We are golden

Caught in the devil's bargain

And we've got to get ourselves

Back to the garden

On Saturday, June 23, the W Club membership was presented with the Poppy Parker City Sweetheart Collection Reveal and a live chat with designer, David Buttry. I didn't attend the chat so I don't know what transpired.

3-D Printed Wig Stands by PB Ray

One of the super creative members of our doll community, PB Ray, gifted me with these two printed wig stands. I know 3-D printing has been around for several years but I am impressed at how it's being used in the doll world these days.

The tall one is sporting a Sybarite sized wig and the shorter one is wearing a Kingdom Doll wig. The stands have a nice 'tooth' that keeps slippery wigs in place.

PB sells the stands on Etsy. Apparently, they have become so popular that you have to get on a wait list!

Priced well at just under $10., they come in black in the two sizes shown. Shipping is $8. in the US for up to 6 stands.
