I got one of these dolls for my 6th b-day and my sister (who was 3 at the time) cut her ponytail off, hoping it would grow back. oh, well.

I wanted this doll so badly when I was small. I asked for it every Christmas, birthday etc. and never did receive one. I jokingly tell my mother that I'm emotionally scarred because I never got one. How funny that I stumbled across one on-line tonight :)

I begged for one of these for Christmas when I was about 4, I wanted it SOOO desperately--bugged my parents for weeks for that thing! I remember them telling me that they were not going get it for me. So, I locked myself in my room and cut my hair with some scissors my mom had left out while wrapping presents...just lopped my curls right off! I came out of my room and my mom started screaming "oh no", my dad ran in because he thought someone was dying in the hall, and my older brother fell on the floor laughing. My mom grabbed me, threw my coat hood on my head, and took me the the Regis hair salon in the local mall, and I returned with a pixie cut in some places only an inch long. We still have pictures of that Christmas, and 26 years later my mom still tells the "Pretty Cut and Grow" Story or, "That Time You Cut Your Hair" (BTW, my uncle and aunt bought me the doll for my birthday--3 days after Christmas)
