Is She?

I won this doll on Ebay. I was looking for Asian dolls and she was listed as "Asian Jenny" I felt I was destined to have her because she was Asian like Abby and she was named Jenny like me. As the auction continued it became evident that someone else also really wanted her. The bidding reached $86.00 and then I started to second guess my self. I felt uncomfortable paying so much for a doll when I really needed to be saving money. She really did not look Asian plus the bidding jumped very quickly and I wondered if it was actually the seller out bidding me so that I would pay more. (I know that is not allowed but you never know...) There were still 2 more days left until the Auction ended so I figured I would sit tight and If I was out bid again then so be it. Well there were no more bids for her and I won her. She is a 1974 Fisher Price Lapsitter Doll named Jenny. I googled her and did not see any other references listed that indicated she was Asian. I received her this past Monday. She is in great shape. Her eyes are somewhat almond shaped but I don't necessarily think that makes her Asian. She also has freckles? So the verdict is still out. Anyway she is Abby's now and has a interesting story to go along with her.



I think Quackers likes her also. While I was Taking pictures of her she decided to jump in.

She's very cute. I've had that happen to me on ebay before, though. Merchaindise is misrepresented and the bidding makes you wonder...
