Crissy dolls came on the scene when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. My friend, Jana and I had both Crissy and Velvet (my favorite was Velvet, the blonde one) so we would get all four of the girls together for tea parties. The Crissy dolls had a knob on their backs that allowed you to make their hair shorten/grow which was a totally new thing back then. We just thought that was awesome. In fact, I wished I had one of those handy little knobs in MY back, too. You know...long hair one day, short hair the next. Medium hair on day three just to keep 'em guessing.
And you should know that this is just a miniscule sampling of the randomosity that inhabits my head at any given time. I'll understand if you say you're a little scared.
