Real-life looking dolls freaked me out as a child; they still do :)

I did have a Dressy Bessy.

Dressy Bessie...my, you're young!

She's cute, too; but I loved my Tiny Tears. I can remember when I opened her up for Christmas (maybe in 1957?). I remember what she wore, her "hair" and carrying her around to show her to everyone. My older sisters got Revlon Dolls that year.

It's funny which memories you get to keep. You have no idea, at the time, that they'll be permanent.
