The two newest gals I acquired had been ones I REALLY needed, so that they weren’t in excellent situation, however I loved sprucing them up! On the left is whom I feel is my new favorite out of all of my Sindys, a Titian ‘Styling Sindy’ from 1980/81. She has the ‘2 GEN/ 1077 and 033055X’ markings on the again of her head, and her hair has thinned out a bit, (mine has too after some 40-odd years! LOL) nevertheless it’s nonetheless very comfortable, shiny and shiny, and it’s to her waist, however appears a bit shorter on this side-ponytail coiffure. But what I REALLY beloved about her is that her head hasn’t light in any respect, which is sort of a typical prevalence for these ‘Styling’ lasses. Her lips HAD light although, to a sickly creamy banana color, so I simply gave her lips a lightweight coral pink wash and a whisper of blush on her cheeks and it made all of the distinction. I needed to place her in one thing very clear, traditional and easy in order to not detract from her attractive hair or delicate magnificence, so her outfit is a mix of ‘Mix & Match’ objects from the 1978 and 1979 ranges, in a really traditional color scheme of navy, white (LOVE these flared linen-like pants!) and a touch of vibrant yellow in that sporty fleece jacket.
My different gal on the fitting is the 1976 Funtime Sindy with ash-blonde hair that surprisingly kinda appears streaked, which is a really cool 70’s contact. It’s fairly an attention-grabbing haircut, because it’s extra of a wavy ‘shag’ model that’s extra layered than I assumed it could be, with a little bit of a ‘pouf’ within the again (which in itself could be very 70’s, too) and as you’ll be able to see, it has additionally retained its pure curl. I simply needed to flippantly brush it into form and that was it. Another tell-tale signal that it’s real (and never simply lower from an extended haired gal, as I’ve seen on a number of the ones supplied on eBay,) is that the hair rooting lays a bit flatter and nearer to the pinnacle, and doesn’t ‘stick out’ as a lot as on the longer haired gals, particularly across the again and sides, the place it softly waves actually near her head. Her hair was the one factor that was excellent on her, as she was very TLC after I acquired her, however I feel she scrubbed up properly, particularly in her 1978 ‘Mix & Match’ skirt, shirt and bag, which I feel is a really appropriate mid 70’s search for her.
