Modern Doll

Every little girl, with few exceptions, has played with fashion dolls.  When I was a child, I remember having this one that came with a pink plastic camera connected to a stand that you clipped the doll into.  When you clicked the shutter on the camera the doll would change poses.  It was, I think, my very first experience with taking pictures.  Like most little girls, it also gave me my first glimpse into the world of fashion and clothing.

My sister teases me that I didn't play with dolls often enough when I was a child and that's why I love playing around with clothes in Second Life.  Perhaps she is right and if she is, then it is a fun past time shared with many others in that virtual space - both designers and shoppers alike.  It was a conversation with one such person that made me so excited to do the image above.  We both loved playing with dolls when we were children and she made me start thinking along the terms of what the fashion dolls would have now. The pink house with pool and car is a given - only this time the automobile is a smart car.  The bubble gum pink dress with feminine lace and sequins is a given and so is the long hair - though this time it's black instead of blonde.

I enjoyed my time revisiting the fashion doll world in taking this picture.  I think it is important to recapture part of one's youth every once in a while.  It keeps us young at heart and gives us a break from the very serious issues we face in today's world - like the reason for smart cars and the many issues facing today's women.   Those things are anything but child's play.  So is growing up and enjoying the fun side of fashion, which I am thankful I get a chance to do every week :)
