This has been a diorama that has been on the back burner for a while, and since I have some other dolls coming to expand it out, I thought I would get a move on with it and have some fun.
I love Wizard of Oz, it is one of my favorite cult classic movies. I still have my 2000 Wizard of Oz talking Dorothy Barbie intact. I cannot find her darling ruby red slippers- (which I took off and put somewhere 'safe' so i wouldn't lose them) I remember purchasing her for myself and feeling embarrassed when I did it as I had bought the entire set for my stepdaughter when she was small and we would watch the movie on the weekends. I so wanted this doll so much- this was way before I got into dolls and doll collecting and felt so guilty for wanting her!
I now have the Integrity Toys Poppy Parker version of Over the Rainbow! and she is darling. I found the Tin man at a really good price on Mercari and he is on his way as well as the entire set of the wizard of oz kelly/tommy Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and cowardly lion coming to me. They are hard to find affordable- I found them on Mercari with free shipping.
My diorama encompasses both Dorothy's meeting for tea at the Emerald City cafe .
My Vintage talking Mattel Dorothy is wearing a pair of Poppy Parker shoes, to replace for her slippers that I have misplaced. Hopefully I will find them in the mountains of shoes that I have. I still have the original Toto and her basket! As well as her socks! Her hair is still in its original braids with bows too.
My Integrity toys Poppy Dorothy has her shoes and socks on too. I have never put on her jewelry or gloved hands, which I think I might do for another photo session. One of my disappointments with this doll is it did not come with a Toto dog. I really thought they let us down with that. So I have used a Jewel Secrets Barbie pug dog that I have customized with a jeweled beribboned collar for my Poppy's Toto dog on her lap.
Here you can see pugdog Toto better on Poppy Dorothy's lap

I hope you have enjoyed the preview of the photos of The two Dorothys meeting. It has been good to be more creative which has been difficult for me lately. Enjoy!
