Hi Robin and all!
I agree about the glitter 100%. I am sure the little girls think it is great, but as a mommy, I would be cussing it up one side and down the other. I always have a couple of bags of clothes I am adding to to give to a couple of the little girls in our playgroup, and to keep the moms from killing me, I never add the ones with glitter! Robin, I never thought to wash the glitter off. That would be great on the birthstone dolls. I think most of the dolls I have seen in that line are really nice, and I will probably pick up an April if I see her. May wash that glitter off too!

Hi guys,
Why does Matell insist on glitter? I hate %#$* glitter! It's a mess. I'm
ranting cos I bought one of those new birthday dolls and the dress was really pretty. It's lined, beautifully constructed, has snaps instead of velcro. Even the jewlry has a little s clasp so it can be removed. You would think Matell would stop when it does a fab job. NO! It had to sprinkle the whole thing with glitter. Grrrrrrrrrrr I soaked it, melted the glue and scraped it off, and finally ended up with a halfway decent dress, but it could have been a perfect if Matell would just let go of the damn glitter thing. I redressed Horse Riding Babs in it. Gave her a new do, too. Sorry for the rant. Here's the link. http://www.geocities.com/pa_nz3/Horse_Riding_Babs.html
