"My family is driving me nuts! I need to relax."

Amy is drawn toward head gear - notice the tiara (complete with 10 individually-priced snap-on adornaments) and veil in the following picture. It's sheer gaudy appearance made her the envy of many other 5-7 year-old girls.

An uglier doll could not be found, but Katie loves Ariel with a deep devotion.

At last, we have made the pilgrimage to Walt Di$ney World. Cha chong!
