As soon as I saw the image results, I remembered that I already own the doll and that I purchased it from you! <br /><br />If her hair was the right length, I might consider giving Something Sexy Adele a FLOTUS makeover, but it's too long and I'm not about to cut it or rewig her. I do see some similarities, but she's not quite FLOTUS, IMO. I need the real deal in playscale.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-77162059863312216322012-11-21T13:08:29.341-06:002012-11-21T13:08:29.341-06:00Muff -- What you said.

I was very disappointed with everything about doll #1... including her painted-on shoes! <br /><br />Maybe we'll see a Barbie sized FLOTUS within the next four years.

Her "sausage" arms really put me off. And I waited too long and couldn't return her. She's in the box on a shelf {sigh}. If I had to choose a favorite among the four posted here, I'd choose #4 for her face, but the non-articulation is a deal-breaker.orchardladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391521792175916039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-84712074720690838722012-11-20T06:36:27.440-06:002012-11-20T06:36:27.440-06:00My favorite is #2.
