Looks like the perfect opportunity to change things up a bit for the old gal!

But what color?

Black?

Red?

Platinum?

Lime Green?

What color do you think would look best?  I'm browsing Pinterest for ideas, but would love to hear your suggestions!

I'm always a fan of Titian red but black would look striking with her red lips:)

Titan red is lovely!

I have spent waaaaaay too long deciding on what type of hair to use.

Should I go with acetate...or saran?

If I go with acetate, I am thinking Titan Red or Spice Brown.

If I go with saran, I am thinking Bitter Chocolate or Mahogany Brown...or both and mixing the strands together.

I am so indecisive!  What should I doooooooo? *flails*

I am seeing original Tammy dolls selling for $30 - $75.  I would guess that mine in her current state would be in the $20 range (I mean, she's great except for the hair.)

Rehairing would only increase her value, right?  I'm not looking to sell her, but then again...I know I am only the custodian for my dolls/toys and eventually I will part with her.

Gah!  I'm driving my self nuts, haha.  When I rehair her, should I go with her original hair length or give her longer locks?

Opinions needed!

I just found this commercial and it made me think of our hobby

I would give her red hair with white streaks in it, like Rogue from X-Men.  But only because she looks like Rogue to me!

A combination of dark browns would look lovely on her!

Black would be stunning! Or maybe if you're up for it, repair in mohair and give her sweet little curls.

Ooooh, maybe something like this?

Hmm, should I re-root or just remove her hair and buy a wig?

[Vertefae]

That's gorgeous!! You could. It would be easier

[LittleSpiffy]

So many possibilities!  I can't make up my mind :flail:

I love that commercial.  I'd totally dig a set like that! 

I think she'd look great with some platinum blonde curls.  Very Marilyn.  Or maybe a mixture of browns.  You could also do wigs if you want to be able to switch her hair around until you decide on a permanent color.

She'd look great in so many of the colours suggested!! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with her! I hope you post pictures soon!!! <3
