I also love Imani (in her original headmold) because she makes wonderful Pointer Sisters tribute dolls =) I have created a facebook page dedicated to Imani (aka Ellisse, aka Naomi)so you can view the ones I've customized as Ruth, Anita & June...The fabulous POINTER SISTERS!!! Now, I know the Pointers weren't triplets, but they were actual mom and dad blood sisters, so I used the same doll for all 3 singers. Besides, I see a little bit of each Pointer sister in the original Imani headmold =) supremeboy23https://www.blogger.com/profile/16374989030669240447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-70934597535166178152010-02-25T19:21:43.537-06:002010-02-25T19:21:43.537-06:00Thanks for this post, DBG!
