spending a lot of time perusing Anne Monday's Gene book. (What a treasure for us!)
I think the doll I would give is Calendar Shot because I love the tanned skin tone. Second choice would be Alibi Rouge. Third choice: Pin-up.
The costumes:
Devil May Care
Spring in Central Park
To Have and To Hold
I'll Take Manhattan
Cocoa Crisp
I love the original body sculpt, before articulation was added. It's so lovely; I think it makes Gene original and special.
Sad story: A friend's adult daughter once expressed admiration for Gene and said she'd like to get the doll and costumes for her daughters. I spent months collecting doll/costumes/trunk and gave it to her for Christmas. It was received with no enthusiasm. I wished I'd kept it and found someone who would love it all. Oh well....
