Today I picked up my beautiful 16” Tonner Gone with the Wind Scarlett O’Hara Vivien Leigh “My Tara” doll from 2012, limited to 350 pieces, at the post office. She has a 16-inch body with articulated wrists, Tyler’s skin tone, dark chestnut hair, and large curls firmly set with hairspray. The dolls from this mold have beautifully drawn green eyes, a direct gaze, and the famous raised right eyebrow.

Scarlett came to me nude, but with a stand. Her original outfit was an olive-green dress and a straw hat. But I dressed her in a “Barbecue at 12 Oaks” dress, which looked wonderful on her. I’m so happy that another long-standing wish of mine has come true, although the shipping from the States and the tax cost almost as much as the doll itself. Now I will try to choose dolls from Europe.
