Jenny (on left) is a porcelain "Little Mommy" doll from the 2004 UFDC convention, with enhanced eye painting by me. Goldie (on right) is a repainted-by-me vinyl Ashton-Drake doll (upper torso and arms on Tenner lower torso and legs.)

Here is a copy of an Ashton-Drake promo photo for the vinyl Goldilocks doll, showing the prototype face-up.

Just today I've been having an enjoyable, light "discussion" about the inheritance of recognizable facial features with a new genealogy friend (she says I have the "Farris" look!)  (I say that we at least share a fascination with what makes one face look the same, or different, as another face.)
So it is a nice coincidence that I finished repainting a vinyl Ashton-Drake Effner "Goldie" and wanted to photograph her together with her porcelain relative, Effner's Jenny II (aka Bedtime Jenny and/or Smiling Jenny).  I've been meaning to do this with all the pairs of vinyl and porcelain sculpts, so this will be the start?  R.
