TRICIA NIXON




Probably from Life Magazine. The magazine paper dolls are from my mom's collection and she never writes the information on her paper dolls. I scanned the paper doll the best I could on my little dinky printer.







1969. WHITE HOUSE Paper Dolls from Artcraft, 4475, price .29c. The Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron, Ohio. Made in U. S. A. - - - - I was in elementary school when Richard Nixon was president. I always thought that Julie and Tricia were very pretty and this paper doll book is from my childhood. I never even cut-out some of the dresses.

GILDA RADNER Cut-Out Doll Book, 1979













The GILDA RADNER Cut-Out Doll Book, 1979, Above Average Productions Inc., Avon Books. When I think of Gilda Radner I of course think of Saturday Night Live. She was a very funny woman. I also think of her struggle with ovarian cancer, a battle she eventually lost. My mom also went through that battle with ovarian cancer, a battle she won.

My TINA Paper Doll, 1967









Whitman #1952, price .29 cents, TINA AND TRUDY Cut-Out Dolls, 1967, by Kathy Lawrence. Trudy and the two poodles must have joined the circus because I have not been able to find them. This was one of my earliest paper doll books and a very cute one at that.

EDWARDIAN COSTUMES, National Trust Acorns, 1985
















EDWARDIAN COSTUMES was one of a series of paper doll books published by The National Trust. The paper dolls are reversible - brightly colored on one side and black & white on the other side. I do not know if these books are still available but I highly recommend them. Thanks mom.
