Of course Valentine’s Day is next week, which means it’s wedding season! So today’s “Do a Pick” is set at a cousin’s wedding.
If you’re wondering what “do a pick” is all about, take a moment to read on…
When I was a kid, whenever I got together with my cousins, it was also playtime with dolls, and we (I and my favorite “doll-play” female cousin, Virginia) would lay out all our dolls and their clothing items. Then we would “do a pick.”
That’s where you take turns picking which doll or dolls you’ll play with and which outfits or accessories you’ll get to play with. My cousin would take a turn picking her dolls, clothes, and accessories too.
Today’s “Do a Pick” game features the following:
My #DoApick shorts on My YouTube Channel are a blast from the past! They let you choose from retro dolls and their clothing items and/or accessories, while imagining a fun playtime adventure from a bygone era.
Join the fun! Leave your “pick” in the comments!

I love both Pink Fantasy and Wedding Whirl. They are perfect outfits for Barbie and Francie to wear.
Pink fantasy
I wouldn’t pick Wedding Whirl because a bride doll might be considered as taking attention from the bride. It’s so hard to pick between Altogether Elegant and Pink Fantasy but I’d probably wind up choosing Altogether Elegant because it looks more like a wedding guest outfit to me, while Pink Fantasy looks like a bridesmaid outfit, and we’re guests, not bridesmaids.
I thought about the fact that “a bride doll might be considered as taking attention from the bride” as well. 😉
