  2. I had a few of the Dawn Dolls and the Rock Flowers. I didn’t understand at the time why my parents didn’t buy me more Dawn dolls and outfits. They were so easy to slip into our pockets and take to school. I didn’t know that they were only made for one year.

  3. Mine are long gone through the wind of time. Thinking back, I think I had all the dolls with the exception of the boy. And I remember having a model stage. Mom and Dad bought more than I originally remembered. MIB is a dream. My girls played in the playground dust and Arial projected into the Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. They lived lives outside of the cardboard and plastic packaging.
