Continuing our virtual doll meeting, one member shared this story regarding how she acquired both this beautiful Bru and her fancy footwear. Several years ago at a National Doll Convention, she said that she discovered that if you wish hard enough it sometimes can come true. One hour into the three-day event, she had already spent several hundred dollars on doll shoes when her roommate (knowing her weakness for doll shoes) ran over and excitedly told her about some she’d seen that our member had to buy. Although our member demurred that she already spent too much on shoes, the roommate responded with the magic word, “rosettes!"
That evening in their room, our member mused as she held the recently purchased rosette-adorned doll shoes,“You know what would look really good with these - a little Bru Brevete.” After which they both threw themselves onto the beds in hysterical laughter knowing the chances of getting a doll that pricey were slim to none. The next morning, our member headed over to a different salesroom at a satellite show and there purchased a doll that was half off due to a practically invisible crack near the wig -- a Bru Brevete!
She returned to their room and when she heard the door to the room open, she hid the doll (now clad with the perfectly fitting rosette shoes) behind her back. As soon as the roommate appeared, our member whisked the shoe-clad Bru out and exclaimed, “Look what I found!” Her roommate, a speech and language pathologist, was rendered speechless as she bounced up and down screaming!
