He gifted his girl with a doll he brought home from every trip. Oh, how the beauty would enthrall! Always her heart would flop and flip. A doll so rigid stiff and straight, she had to have a pedestal just to support he couture’s weight! Her fashions were incredible. Her essence was molded plastic. Her hair and eye color unique. Her formal wear was fantastic, fairly fashioned of worthy pique. Each doll distinct in color and dress. A favorite, a darked-haired beauty. Her frock of emerald finesse, not just another frail cutie! A collection long lost to time as is each chenille pipe cleaner. I cherish moments of their prime, and their glamorous demeanor.

We have an Easter Show here in Sydney every year. Show bags were full of small toys gadgets and of course sweets and chocolates. I asked for none of them in the 50's, just a beautiful cupie doll on a stick. Each year a new one splendidly dressed in different colours and styles. Oh how your wonderful poem brought me back. So much thanks for your brilliant poem.

They were popular in the Sates in the 1950s Anne-Lise. Thank you for the lovely comments. I remember the dolls over the toilet tissue rolls -haven't thought of them in years. My aunt had such a doll in her bathroom. LOL
