Part ll of Hippy Dippy Poppy Parker & the Model Scene

Part ll of the Hippy Dippy Poppy Parker saga. Sometimes I think a doll's attraction does not grab us until we hold her in our hands, or see her.The promo pics do not really do her justice. (another doll that comes to mind is the newest Haunted Beauty - the zombie , whose pics from the Barbie convention are floating about. Her promo pics were bleh. Too pink, too unfinished, lacking. But the attendees pics of the actual doll show something that the promos did not.) And so it was with Hippy Dippy or Athena. I think the same came be said with her predecessor, Groovy Galore, our registration doll. I am so glad I went ahead and got this lovely. Though she is very basic, she is what I consider the first in the model scene with the makeup they are using on all of these dolls, the blue eye shadown, the heavy applied eyelashes, the pink lips. 

The appeal of Hippy Dippy is she came with an extra outfit, that cute boater/ evening gown with little flower sequins all over it and black stockings to go with her boots. Gave her a Nancy Sinatra/These Boots are gonna walk all over you type of look. That's the song that kept going thru my head as I did these shots. I decided to pair up Groovy Galore with her in a little black dress with her gold earrings and gold shoes, sort of a la Goldfinger from that era of the 60's versus the 70's and go from there. 

Here they are....

Groovy Galore Poppy Parker

And finally, the last doll of the registration dolls of the 2015 W club...Groovy Galore Poppy Parker. 

I did not include her in my little diorama crime scene drama. Many things in 'real life' happened to prevent this....

1- more dolls from the dresser in my bedroom plus numerous other props I had been hoarding, er , collecting had to be moved...as we are in preparation to move items and furniture around to another bedroom from our old bedroom...

2- the doll room is a disaster. As I have been cleaning out the new room that will be our new bedroom and putting items in storage, I have found more doll items.  So the doll room which is already crowded, has become MORE crowded with more boxed items that are not de-boxed. 

3- Dollies from the bedroom dresser are now on my temporary crime scene drama. Other dollies are in the doll town  strolling and lolling about on tubs. Props are everywhere, including tons of rement and miniatures that need homes. Chaos.

4- in the midst of this...work/business still comes first, so nothing in the doll room gets organized, just shoved on top of more stuff.

Now onto the photos! I chose outdoors, because this Poppy is vastly underrated. Many people complained she was too 'basic' but I think she is exceptionally beautiful. Her hair is gorgeous. She's a diamond in the rough. Redressed, she can be beautiful. Her dress, quite frankly, does not remind me of the 70's but of the 80's. We had bubble dresses in the 80's. I did not put her jewelry on just yet. Her shoes and purse are really cute. This doll is definitely a keeper, unlike the one from last year, the spy girl. This doll reminds me of cake, candy and sweet stuff. 

I hope you enjoy the pics!Lisa
