Doll Help! Ideas Needed!

Hey girls! I'm having a doll-themed birthday party in a week. I am going to drag as a doll, but I don't know who to be. Obviously I'd got for Barbie, but the co-host of the party (it's her b'day, too, and the party is at her house) is going to be Barbie. Wah wah. Any other classics? It needs to be hot, not cutesy (I'm 6'1'' and skinny, so baby dolls or whatever wouldn't work). I'm thinking of being a Bratz, but that's all I've been able to come up with. Any retro ideas or classic dolls that, being a boy, I don't know about?

How about Betty Boop? I can think of several others too.

OMG you should go as Jem from Jem and the Holograms. She was my absolute favorite. Or you could go as one of The Misfits - Jem and the Holograms rivals! Jem was a television series about an all female 80's rock band. They had a magical computer named Synergy that transformed them from normal girls to rock stars and of course there was a doll to go along with it.

Here are a few pics for you. The 2nd pic is of The Misfits!

This is a great site to find out more about Jem and get some ideas for looks. It's also got all of the music from the show lol! Ahhh the memories.

What type of doll do you feel most comfortable dressing up as a) soft like dolls - Holly Hobby & Raggedy Ann or b) plastic type doll - Skipper (Barbie's little sister).

Definitely going to be SUPER plastic. Right now I'm thinking either Jem, or, as yummy suggested, just my own "Doll" look, crazy colors, exaggerated features, huge eyes, lashes, etc.

(there are newer Cher dolls out too, esp. some with some amazing Bob Mackie outfits, but that's the doll I remember from my youth!)

That's awesome. A friend of mine suggested Cher, since I have done Cher A LOT, but I feel sort of strange being a doll based on a real person (since it'd be more like I was dressing up like that person than the doll). But I DO LIVE for Cher! (attached is a shot of me as Cher from about 2 years ago . . . I obviously wasn't as good with my makeup back then, but it's my best Cher shot!)

Ooooooooooo you look excellent as Cher!

I see your point tho since you've done Cher a lot. If you could get that strawberry gown anyone who had the doll in their childhood (I'm 38) would know what you were doing instantly!

Another option if your friend is doing a strict Malibu Barbie interpretation is to do a Barbie variation. Or as was said, Skipper, PJ, Marcie...

Or there's the Gene Marshall collectable doll...

How about a Cabaret look? It's not exactly a doll but it is very doll-like. I love the way Joel Gray and Liza Minelli looked in the movie.
