DAY 4

Today being Saturday was a great doll day.  I did some doll research as I found that my new doll with blond hair seen below was mistaken for a Kirsten doll.  I know this now because, as I looked closely at her hair I found she couldn't be a Kirsten or she is and had a wig job.  The following information is used to clarify exactly what I was thinking. The pictures posted displayed a good example of just what is discussed below which is very informative.  Nonetheless I know I have a doll with a made in Germany tag but hair from a wig replacement or a July doll, I am not sure.  What happened before she got here I will never know.  I have learned many a thing already in the short time I have begun this doll collecting Journey. 
*When buying a doll on Ebay, ask many questions.
*When buying a doll over the internet ask for more pictures.
*When buying a doll from someone in person after having done step one and two above, take off all it's clothes and look at everything with slow inspecting skills that will lead you to a beneficial purchase and not an overpriced bride of Frankenstein.
