Our
4th gathering this year was at Fresh Choice in Santa Clara, "It's a Boy,"
was in honor of Ashton Drake's dashing new star, Trent Osborn. Club members
displayed him in Playing the Ponies, a couple of Denis Bastien's Affordable
Designs outfits and knitwear by Vera's aunt. The hard vinyl ladies came
out in droves as well, including three Diamond Evenings, Franklin Mint's
Twiggy in her incredible carrying case and a stable of new Tylers.
Darin, Debbie, Marty, Joyce and Kristan were the contestants for "Weakest Link," hosted by a black-clad Vicki Walker. The prize was a Blue Fox Gene, so there was no point in "banking," but other hallmarks of the game were in evidence. Kristan got both her questions right in the first round and was summarily voted off for it. Joyce, who dislikes voting off contestants, had to make a tie-breaking choice after a round in which no questions were answered correctly. (She bounced Darin.) Joyce beat Marty in the final round 1-0 when she knew which of Scarlet Temptress Madra's eyebrows was red. ("This one," she said.)
22 doll fans attended, including (for the first time in some time) Van, former club president Alice, and another first timer Cherie.
