Goldie and MaryMary are Effner Ashton-Drake vinyl dolls (with Tonner legs and inset eyes). Being fascinated by taxonomy -- or perhaps more like genealogy in this case? -- I've always wondered which Effner porcelain sculpts the Ashton-Drake doll were based on. Some of them, like Goldie, are relatively obvious ("Bedtime Jenny"). But it wasn't until very recently that I realized that MaryMary is based on "Everyday Jenny" (also known as "Jenny I"). So in my skating photos one is actually looking at Jenny and Jenny!!!! R.
Goldie is having a fine time twirling around on the ice!!!! MaryMary is a little more unsure of herself - she's just concentrating on staying upright. Kylie arrived a little late, so she's just started to put on her skates. What fun - can't you just hear a Strauss waltz???

These pictures catch what I love about playing with dolls. There is just no where in my world where I could find such well dressed little girls ice skating in such an idyllic location.
