Mary Beth Jennings replied to Mary Beth Jennings's discussion 'Fond Memories'"I had a barbie jeep that was really cool. I lived on a cattle farm, surrounded by acres and acres of open pasture.

Mary Beth Jennings commented on Terri Gold's group 'Collecting Fashion Dolls by Terri Gold'"I didn't have a camping play set, so I made a tent out of one of my dad's old undershirts and some sticks. I'd set it up outside with my barbies and their horses, sometimes I'd put them in sleeping bags inside the tent and leave…"

Mary Beth Jennings commented on Terri Gold's group 'Collecting Fashion Dolls by Terri Gold'"Thanks so much Simon, it is nice to get some vindication.

Mary Beth Jennings commented on Terri Gold's group 'Collecting Fashion Dolls by Terri Gold'"I was horrified by the "Mommie Dearest" doll. I found the film morbid and terrifying, Joan Crawford was clearly battling severe mental illness. In fact, she reminded me of my grandmother. I don't think that Tonner meant to…"

Mary Beth Jennings replied to Pabboo Redfeather's discussion 'Who has a collection of Black Fashion dolls?'"I only collect Tonner dolls, and they are sadly remiss in their production of African- American dolls.

An artistic exercise to help "flesh out" my fashion doll characters
Posted on September 16, 2011 at 4:30 0 Comments 0 Loves
As an artistic exercise to help "flesh out" my characters, I decided to ask each of my dolls the questions from James Lipton's questionnaire that he asks at the end of every episode of Inside The Actor's Studio. As I found out, that questionnaire is a condensed version of Marcel Proust's. So I made my own questionnaire, based upon Proust's.
Here it is, along with all of my doll's answers. Go to My albums: School Pictures to see photos…
