I know I'm absolutely thrilled to have Skipper and I believe my sister feels the same about Miss Camryn. Shelly knew I'd regret leaving Skipper and I knew she'd regret not buying Camryn. Luckily, we were looking out for one another's best interests more than our own. Shelly was obviously a fool to even think of leaving Camryn behind when she was fully clothed, basically complete, and we've rarely, if ever, seen MC² dolls secondhand. Obviously, I was stupid not to realize immediately that she wasn't Quick Curl and should have, therefore, spent way more time trying to identify her before putting her down. I think this shows how we can both get sidetracked while doll shopping and don't always think clearly.

I wanted to rescue Camryn and was thinking of how to persuade Shelly to take her. I was feeling very."shoppy" and, as I have few 70s Skippers, I probably would have advocated to stuff her in the bag with Camryn anyway, as I was loathe to leave Camryn behind. Now, Shelly reckoned Skipper would have been abandoned had she not pointed out my mistake. We opted to stuff her in the bag with Camryn. Shelly had been on the fence about Camryn Coyle, alone in a bag and marked for three.

Skipper was free floating, no bag, no price. I took a closer look, realizing that I definitely did not have this doll. Now, Shelly knew, because she was holding her, that she was NOT Quick Curl, and informed me of this. "I think she's another Quick Curl," I said dismissively. I processed that she was a 70s Skipper who looked familiar, barely glancing at the face. Shelly showed me this Skipper, clad in an old blue shirt. During the hunt, sometimes your mind is too busy trying to get the whole picture to focus too hard on one item. We stopped at another store on the way home and were rifling through the dollies in the basement. Pickins were extremely slim and the only dolly item we found was Angel Face Barbie. We'd hit up one charity store, found it was relocating and everything was free. I was in a bit of a doll shopping frenzy really. I thought I would never, in a million years, actually own one. I thought the outfit pieces sold with her were absolutely adorable, and I loved how unique she was. Being older and more open to a variety of dolls, I was openly fascinated with Skipper and Ginger and wanted them very much. I forgot about this Skipper until we got our "The Ultimate Barbie Book" in 2011. Because the two body types crossed in Barbie's world in the 70s/80s, most fashions sold then were sold for either body type really. However, in teen-form, she's pretty similar to dolls like Hot Stuff Skipper and in girl-form she's more or less the same as Malibu Skipper. At the time, one of my excuses for not liking her as much as other dolls was that the body-morphing feature would make her harder to fit in clothes. I also liked that she came with a bonus clothing item. Also, even if I claimed otherwise, the idea of Skipper developing breasts was like Midge being pregnant-controversial, probably not favored by parents, and, therefore, what every kid secretly wants. However, I was secretly intrigued by her 70s Barbie vibes, her cute face, and her adorable hair. Yes, she certainly looks different from the late 80s/90s/early 2000s dolls in our collection at the time and I'm one of those people that likes more of the same. I claimed to think the idea was "dumb" and "weird" at the time, even though I didn't actually think that. I'm pretty sure I first saw Growing Up Skipper on eBay. To give us a diversion, he would let us play on his computer. After we finished our homework, we were in Dad's hair. When you are a kid, two or three hours feel like an eternity, especially when Dad couldn't just leave at three thirty on the dot every day. We would spend a couple hours there until he got out of work. We didn't have the internet at home back then and, because I missed the bus, Dad would pick us up at school my freshman and sophomore years and bring us to his office. Personal Fun Fact (written by my sister): Shelly and I used to spend hours looking at dolls online at Dad's office circa 2002/2003. ***Skipper is wearing a 1979 Fashion Collectibles outfit (stock number 1386).
