Ahh, my sweet Sam. Sam looks very much like Bananabelle's Sam, only with some face paint on her lips and a scratch on the paint of her left eyelid. I was about 13 when I received her as my big present for Christmas 1993, so she's not quite as played with as some of the Sams mentioned here. Her hair has been very dry for years. Until I came to this site, I dealt with it by keeping it in a permanent pony tail. After I read the suggestions here, I washed it and Downy-dunked it. The ends are still pretty dry, but it is otherwise better. She has loose limbs and isn't great at standing, probably due to spending most of my college years on my bed.
And yet, with all that...she's my baby. She's been one of my closest friends since I was 13. She's always been there to hug and kiss.
And I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who doesn't like her meet shoes. They're impossible to put on! I finally retired them after my mother bought strapless vinyl shoes from the Springfield Collection that I can actually get on her feet. They're in the basket in the back, but she rarely wears them now.
