back of box - still sealed!
GOOD NEWS – you can… from me!
BAD NEWS – this offer is in the form of a competition…
You have to send me (email dollsofcolor @ gmail.com – no spaces) a photo set up by you of a doll wearing your own creation. The colour theme of this creation is to be…
SUNSETS!
(hint – I just love all those orange, red and purple hues)

Generally, these are the Conditions and Rules (subject to change depending on my awareness and memory…)
(please note preferred date in comments, I was thinking a period of 3 months but with all these holidays coming up, Halloween round the corner, Thanksgiving in the USA and Christmas and New Year(s)… I understand that everyone will be busy running around doing non-doll-photo things… is a mid-January-or February date ok?)

What a fantastic idea, Therese! Very generous offer, that Mbili Barbie has a stunning facial screening.
I’m looking forward to the photos you’ll receive. I mean, I look forward to seeing them here. You might want to post a link on Yahoo Group We Love Black Dolls and other Yahoo Groups to expand your entry pool.

Should the doll be a doll of colour wearing a sunset inspired outfit? Nice! There are differing colours around the world!!! Australia has some really interesting ones included bright red sunsets in the outback at different times of the year!!

oh, the doll doesn’t even have to be a doll of colour! (or even 1:6 scale or it can be male or even human) I just so happen to like sunset colours hehehe
