I've purchased Chandra and Kara a couple of times. I plan to get a couple more soon. I just want to have those bodies on hand. They are also readily available at Mattel.com. I've seen the Marissa outfit shown on Kara and it's stunning. It just didn't do anything for Marissa. I won't be adding that one to my collection.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-79874614857304014502013-05-13T08:06:26.857-04:002013-05-13T08:06:26.857-04:00Of the three Walmarts I frequent in Atlanta (all i...Of the three Walmarts I frequent in Atlanta (all inside the I-285 perimeter), Chandra has flown off the shelves.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do with the shirt yet. I'm surprised you have a lot of Chandras on the shelf. I wouldn't feel too bad. She is getting much love in lots of other places. Make sure you add her to your collection when can. She is wonderful.

I also thought it was a two piece or even more, because I was eyeing the shirt. I was thinking of a certain doll would like to wear it. Now that I see it is a one piece that kinda makes me sad. Lol But now that you have shown how to make it a two piece my fashion designer sixth sense has kicked in so I kinda have an idea what to do with the shirt/skirt. <br /><br />I would have bought Chandra but of course I have no money, so just one<br /> more thing to add to my wish list. The sad thing is there was so many Chandra dolls. These poor beautiful, dark skinned dolls get no love.
