Today’s paper doll is, as expected, a Marisole Monday & Friends paper doll in full color with a stylish spy wardrobe.
My mother wanted me to mention, after reading my last post about Secret Agent Man, that she did not like Johnny Rivers and it wasn’t her fault that it came on the radio. And that in the days before playlists I should be happy that I get to pick what music I listen too.
Apparently suggesting that she was a Johnny Rivers fan was a deep insult to her hippy, anti-establishment ways.
So, I went back and forth about the right color scheme for this paper doll set. Part of me thought that yellow and pink were a little bright for a super spy, but then it occurred to me that no one would expect a super spy to be wearing yellow and pink. By the way, the short hair style Marisole is sporting is actually her base hair. These days I often draw my base dolls bald which helps when I have to draw hair for them, but back when I drew Marisole I didn’t do that. In her first post ever, she is sporting this hair style. That was back in January of 2010, though I actually drew Marisole sometime around 2008. She sat in a pile of unused base dolls for years before I finally decided what I was going to do with her. I think that’s sometimes the odd thing about working with her. She’s drawn in a style that I don’t know if I would, or even could, use today as my art has evolved.
Oh, by the way, something I am curious about this whether people like colored paper dolls or back and white paper dolls better, so I have changed out the poll in the sidebar. Vote if you want and also consider entering my current contest/drawing if you haven’t. 🙂

Love it!
Very cool! Do you think you could make a PDF of all you Marisol Monday dolls, with basic hair, to mix and match with the outfits if you don’t always like the doll that comes with them?
I could, but it is unlikely. That sort of reformatting is actually extremely time consuming which means I have to do it rather than spend my time working on new content. Personally, I would much rather spend my time working on new content. 🙂
I love the music of Johnny Rivers and cannot understand why your mother should be so violently opposed to it. I can say that I don’t like certain music but my reaction is to it is in respect to my own tastes and allowing that other people really like it. If your mother is from the hippie age, I am surprised at the no “let it be” attitude which was how most young people felt then–love and flower power and all that.
Oh my, I had no idea music of the 1960s was going to be such a passionate topic. I do hope I didn’t offend anyone. 🙂
