Thank you for mentioning Sindy doll! She is rarely mentioned. I had one in my childhood, and though she had more realistic bodily proportions than Barbie, I cut off her hair and stuffed her in the back of a cupboard.
I wonder what you thought of the Barbie movie? I seem to be one of the few who disliked it. I loved the sets, costumes, actors, scenes (especially the ones travelling between Barbieland and the real world), but I thought the messages the film conveyed were confused, one-dimensional and hostile.
I have not yet seen the Barbie movie. I am sitting on the fence about watching it, so will have to get back to you on what I think about it.
I never thought of cutting my Sindy's hair. I did have one of those awful "Girl's world" heads to practice hair and make-up on though. She had plastic extending hair that never did what the booklet said it would do with rollers or not. I didn't think much of doing that either!

I always wanted a 'girl's world' head, but now you say it never held a style I am glad I never had it. So many kids toys are a disappointment!
