1950 Sock Hop, LE, Restrung, Madame Alexander, 8" Doll, #17780, Through the Decades, Pop Culture, Scarf, COA, Box, Wrist Tag, Paperwork is a 1950's nostalgia doll, circa 1999, Limited Edition, 4794/5000, so it is from Series 1, only available for that one year. Series 2 was limited to 2000 dolls, attesting to extreme popularity and the decision to release a second series. The doll itself is identical in both series. Original box is in good condition with minimal shelf wear, clear label, nice overall finish and shape, exceptions being shallow corner creases, shallow creasing lid top, both quite minimal and easily overlooked. They do not detract or change nice flat lid surface. Photos of sold doll were carefully and thoroughly compared to this available doll (same price) and confirmed to be near identical, other than the color of the blue skirt is more vivid in the blue tone, the nicest I have seen, and bagged neck scarf is stapled to the bottom of the liner rather than the top. (NOTE: Doll descriptive details in 2nd paragraph). Restrung in 2024 with elastic cord. Restringing typically costs $20.00 and is seldom present in the vintage market. Hair retains original set and hairnet, bow. Pony tail sausage curl is perfect. Though I did not state this doll was never removed from box, there is no indication she was ever displayed. Doll is very like new from head to toe, including that she is now restrung, and all garments, undergarments, trims, shoes and shoe soles are exemplary. Please note that her elastic waist band is always the same, less bright white, as is the case with all of this doll. (Evidenced by the fact that the reverse side of elastic is same tone as front, having never had light exposure). She is getting harder to find in this pristine consdition and a bit more expensive as a result. Please study the photos to confirm description. NOTE: SHIPPING OVERAGE may apply, depending on destination. Only actual shipping label cost is charged. SHIPPING OVERAGE CREDIT on Shipping Day. Everything from the soft, bulky sweater (oh, yes, those cashmere, mohair, cozy things!) to the full felt skirt with poodle applique, bobby socks and saddle oxfords, applique initial, are hallmarks of the 50's dance events and the fabulous Sock Hop! Teens were watching American Bandstand on TV, Laverne and Shirley, The "Fonz." This doll always looks pristine and perfect, from her chain stitch sweater, in a soft acrylic with the selection of yarn being fuzzy, too, so reminiscent of the mohair craze back then! The hot pink and white hem edge cording, whip stitched, adds that extra snap, while her poodle has a tiny neck bow, rhinestone eye and prissy pompoms! Madame Alexander has re-created the 50's theme so well and this doll, with her sausage curl pony tail and hair bow, is a perfect tribute to those "Happy Days" and memories! MY MISSION: I provide a doll for you that is fully ready for display on arrival at your home, beautiful and sturdy. Any flaws I detect which I could not remedy will be documented in the listing and doll priced accordingly. I keep extensive computer files on each listing with doll and box images.)The boxes, being the original homes for the dolls, are in variable condition, dependent on the original owner's care and storage. I will always mention box condition with the listing, or sleep eyes that open manually. MY PROCESS: I remove from the box to re-style the hair and inspect/correct for anything that might be remiss. I feel this step is more important than listing "never removed from box." My patrons will know there will be no loose snaps, no tangled locks, damaged apron strings, no fragile, weakened rubber bands, ( I re-string when needed) no stained or faded clothing or problems with undergarments, no necklaces trapped in the neck or tresses. I restring with elastic cord, the preferred archival choice of "doll doctors." MY PRICES: I calculate on: How readily available (or, conversely, hard to find,) whether complete with all accessories, my costs, my labor, condition of restored doll returned to box after completing the work. To include a doll stand with your order, please add $1.00 to your total.
Be wary, ye who... Sorry. Just wanted to warn you up front that some of these stories don't have conclusions. Most of them do, but some I just never could finish. Oh, yeah, and some of them are parts of series that are here published alone because I just was unable to find the other stories. I swore when I was young that that would never happen to me. It did. I'm dealing with it. The reason that such stories - those without endings and those for which there are other, connected stories - is that, well, I'm getting old. I wanted to collect the majority of my writings before I'm dead. Some of these are very early stories. The earliest, I believe, is \"Counterterrorist.\" Yes, the main character's name is Jack, but it was written many years - decades - before Jack Bauer, counterterrorist, made it to TV in 24. That should be obvious, but I thought I'd mention it. Just try to enjoy the stories.
This beaut has a smudgey stain on it, pictured next to my finger! Oh Zack. My poor pre-pubescent heart didn't stand a chance. This tea towel will be the closest I ever get to Zack's drool-worthy 90s bedroom (to do like revision, and stuff, shut UP) which isn't all that close at all. But at least I can think about his amazing hair while I do the dishes. Right? Just me then.. Details: 100% cotton Designed and made in the UK Wash at 30 to save the world and keep those colours looking sharp This tea towel and its pals are the product of my super successful 2019 Kickstarter campaign; Fresh Prints. You know when you're doing the washing up and you're listening to the latest Throwback Thursday playlist and you think "argh if only my tea towels were as cool as my music!" Well I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, and I'll tell you how I came to design these totally awesome tea towels. I don't even think they had tea towels this ludicrous in the 90s, although these colours and patterns were certainly splashed onto everything else, from bumbags to duvet covers. This is my homage to the 90s, and the TV of the 90s, my childhood, and a pit stop on a creative journey that has had me fall back in love with colour again. Whether you want something to jazz up your kitchen, or proclaim very loudly your 90s kid credentials these ridiculous tea towels are for you. They're bright and busy, so stains will be easy to hide, and they are utterly utterly brilliant. To channel Mari Kondo, if she too attended Bayside High; wouldn't it be great if even your tea towels bought you the most immense joy?

When I was in high school, one of the most popular kids shows on tv was Bananas in Pajamas. The theme song was annoying and one of the worst earworms I've ever had.
