Miss Velvet and the Bears

My neighbor, Michelle, and I used to play with our Velvet dolls pretty much every day up until 6th grade. Her doll's name was Hillary and my doll's name was Hayley. I loved the Parent Trap and I loved Hayley Mills. For Michelle it was all about the hair; for me it was all about the clothes, especially sewing the clothes. When we went into junior high, Michelle's hair was a perfect Farah Fawcett do and mine was the stick straight Marcia Brady do...but I had the clothes! In 7th grade I saved my babysitting money and was a regular at the fabric store.
