Description:

Frida Kahlo was such an amazing artist and her self-portraits are interesting, to say the least. :)

Let's make dotees in honor of Frida, with the monobrow and all! Maybe even use bright colors like she uses in her paintings for the rest of the body?? Just a suggestion. Ooh, and don't forget the 'stache, lol...

I'm putting the send date far out b/c if you're like me, you've got a lot of swaps to catch up on right now. :)

Please have a rating of 4.75 or higher. No recent no-sends. Must have completed at least 5 real mail swaps before the sign-up date. I will ban anyone who is shady or looks like a possible flaker. this is an international swap

Thanks for joining and let's make some Fridas!!!

thanks, GypsyDyann! Glad you like the idea. I can't wait to see some pics of the Fridas. Maybe people can post links to their pics here in the comments section... :)

marionjoy 08/ 4/2008 #

a question... what do you mean when you say "Ooh, and don't forget the 'stache, lol..." thanxx

Frida's moustache...

GypsyDyann 08/11/2008 #

I think forgetting the moustache would be okay! I don't think I'd want on on my doll if I was Freda!

piggybaby 08/13/2008 #

Glad to see you join the swap, marionjoy! Yes, I meant Frida's mustache, but it's not mandatory or anything. Just have fun with it. :)

marionjoy 08/20/2008 #

please, no stashe on mine either.. lol.. :)

ladydy5 08/30/2008 #

No mustache on mine please, she wouldn't like that depicted of her.

Guitartists 08/31/2008 #

Got mine done! Can't wait to find out where her new home will be :D

LMM 09/ 2/2008 #

Not sure why you would say that "she wouldn't like" her mustache on representations of her, since many of her own self-portraits included it!

piggybaby 09/ 3/2008 #

LMM, I totally agree! :) Maybe we should make removable velcro mustaches for people who don't like them, lol...

GypsyDyann 09/ 3/2008 #

Mustache's---gee I musta missed that, I mostly know her history and such, guess I missed the self paintings with lip fuzz---still I don't think I'd want it on a doll!

Mine went out to rollerwriter today....hope you like her!

I just noticed that the send-by date is on a Sunday. Since the p.o. is closed on Sundays,and noone will be able to have it postmarked on Oct.5th, I thought it only fair to extend it to Monday, one day later. :)

Still no doll sent to me. Forget about it as I have lost total visions of receiving her unless it is in the mail at home (I am out of state rightnow).
