I redressed Phairby last night. Her Fairy godmother outfit is a lot harder to get on, as the sleeves are rather tight. I had considered taking off her hands, but her arms are strung extremely tight, and the hooks holding her hands are super tiny, so gave up with that idea. But I got it on. It was very cold, with ice pellets coming down outside, but I ventured out anyways for a couple of photos of her in her Swan 'ride'. It's actually a sleigh, but maybe it can be a magic sleigh that flies, or maybe even a boat.... It's funny how an outfit can totally change a doll's look. In this costume, I think she looks like a 'goofy' Fairy Godmother, whereas she looks so much more elegant in the black Monarch costume. I can see all kinds of adventures involving a sweet Fairy Godmother, or a wise old Butterfly Fairy. Whatever the story calls for....

Phairby is awfully cute. Your describing her as a "goofy" Fairy Godmother made me smile and think of Aunt Clara from "Bewitched". I think you could have a lot of fun stories with a kindly, slightly goofy Fairy Godmother, as well as some slightly more dignified adventures with a wise old Butterfly Fairy! You're limited only by imagination and yours is limitless! :o)

I found it interesting how her two outfits bring out completely different aspects of her personality.

Dear Martha, I echo Donna. The more stories the better. She is a cutie either way.
