Using D7ana's fantastic pinterest board, I found out that she was an Embassy Ball Janay.<br /><br />My mom used to collect Barbies so I started a small playline collection back when I was in middle school and this Janay was one of the few dolls I ever bought for myself. I kept her boxed and then donated her to a toy drive when I became "too old" for dolls. Recently I've been thinking back on her more and more and she's been really eating at me--I want to find her again! It's so good to know that she's still as classy and beautiful as I remember her being.<br /><br />I was going to contact you specifically for her if I didn't find her soon! I'm glad I started looking through your older blog entries first.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of dolls--your blog is a fantastic resource!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-79647612334699316852013-08-09T02:50:40.019-05:002013-08-09T02:50:40.019-05:00LOL.

I mentioned my Pinterest board because I recently uploaded Janay and friends photos from an older website. I think that you have one of those dolls photographed - one of the African Dancer Janays. Although, that doll has the older, bigger-head Janay sculpt, she is a rare articulated Janay doll. <br /><br />When you write about dolls, your writing generates/inspires others to write about their dolls. That is good news for me. More information, more photos, more perspectives all build up to more fun. It would be a sad thing to have only one person writing about them ;-)<br /><br />Will get back when I complete that Janay and friends post.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-78656708127387005432013-08-07T09:24:16.893-05:002013-08-07T09:24:16.893-05:00Hi D7ana,

So I'm going to do a "sister" post and link back to your site. "Fellow" collector-enthusiast Therese of Dolls of Color piqued my interest about this <a href="http://phillycollector.blogspot.com/2010/01/help-dolls-of-color-to-create-janay.html" rel="nofollow">doll series</a> a few years ago. Therese had created a wiki about them. Alas, the wiki does not seem to be online now.<br /><br /><br /><br />Few quickie bits though: Integrity's Janay and friends sold at lots of stores for some time: Toys R Us and Walmart sold them. And there were a few articulated Janays. I do not have any of them - drat! - but they exist. You can see photos of Janay et al. on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/d7ana/integrity-janay-and-friends/" rel="nofollow">Pinterest board</a>.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-3376290645970983282013-08-07T04:46:57.053-05:002013-08-07T04:46:57.053-05:00The Janay and Friends dolls show up on a regular b...The Janay and Friends dolls show up on a regular basis on eBay (ebay.com).<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-42445501434484569052013-08-07T04:45:55.554-05:002013-08-07T04:45:55.554-05:00Hello Lindaivette,

I purchased my first Janay in the 1990s, too, but I was not as enthused about her back then as I am now. In fact, I wasn't particularly fond of fashion dolls during the 1990s, but opinions change.<br /><br />I do not like the "doll faced" Janay, the one that preceded this head sculpt. I guess she was the original Janay released with Jordan. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-36796460904683052622013-08-06T12:54:44.838-05:002013-08-06T12:54:44.838-05:00Thanks, Vanessa.
