1 - before picture

 

This is a Pos'n Tammy doll made by Ideal Toy.  Ideal Toy produced Tammy dolls from 1962 - 1966.  This is the  'before' picture of the actual doll used for this contest.  This dirty doll's issues included a vintage semi-fixed broken neck wedged into her body, with original face paint faded in spots, chipped in others.  The  doll's dirty hair was stiff and felt like straw.

 Tammy's Mardi Gras Ensemble

Tammy's Mardi Gras Ensemble includes: OOAK Tammy, Custom Lingerie, Custom Carry Box, Cards, Wrist Tags, and Accessories.  Tammy's Mardi Gras Mask was designed to be fully functional.  The reversible mask can be removed from the staff and worn directly on the doll - in either direction.  Reversible Mask is embellished with Swarovski Crystals on both sides.  All Mardi Gras beads can be opened or closed via ball/barrel clasp.

 

Miscellaneous

Tammy's Mardi Gras Make Over Info:   This Tammy survived sink rehab, neck surgery, wardrobe fitting, and a trip to the salon.   Tammy's make up was enhanced to correct her deficiencies.  (For the record, I do not repaint perfectly good-faced Tammy dolls. That's blasphemy.  However,  this doll was in pretty rough shape.  The extra work was required to help this doll get a second chance at being a good toy for play or display.)  Tammy's hair was styled to compliment her overall appearance, and provide her with a different, more modern look.  (For the record, Tammy's hair was not cut.  The doll's hair can still be styled with the traditional braid crowning her head.) 

The pictures herein are submitted for Mardi Gras Photo Op Contest only.  All work contained herein - including photography - was done by my own hands.

Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for viewing my entry.
