Sometimes an artist's work is just too good for words. Good thing I can show you pictures! Mauro is the first artist that I completely trusted. I would send him a doll and let his artistic instinct tell him what to do with it. I am never disappointed--Mauro always brings out the best in a doll!

The dolls on this page are from my personal collection and are not for sale. They are here for enjoyment and sharing only.

Reproduction Platinum Ponytail Reproduction Blonde Midge
This is the doll that taught me to appreciate vintage. I never cared for Swirl Ponytails until I won this gorgeous creature at a raffle at a Fashion-L gathering. Now I can't get enough Swirl PTs!

The original Midge is my favorite Barbie-family member. I love her homely goofiness, but Mauro shows that Midge can have just as much va-va-voom! as the Blonde Bombshell herself! This is made from a '70s PJ face on a '90s reproduction body. Hair, face, and reproduction swimsuit all by Mauro.

Raspberry Flip TNT with Jacket Raspberry Flip TNT without Jacket
Once upon a time, this was a Quick Curl Barbie from my childhood. I had loved her very much... so much that her hair had fallen out and her facepaint was almost gone! Thanks to Mauro, she's more beautiful than ever. Though you cannot tell from these pictures, her hair isn't a true titian color. It has a gorgeous light plum or raspberry tone, just a hint of purple to the red that makes her my raspberry flip.
