Flashback: Paper Dolls
Like Manimal one year before it, Paper Dolls lasted only two months — from September 1984 to December 1984. A prime-time soap opera set around a fictional modeling agency, the show (called Karussell der Puppen in Germany!) starred Lloyd Bridges, Morgan Fairchild, Mimi Rogers, and introduced Nicollette Sheridan. With a trailer this awesome, I wonder why it did so badly!
Paper Dolls: Chic Inslee Personalized Cards
With the Internet and email, cards can feel like a thing of the past. I certainly don't mind going back in time with cards as chic as Inslee's Personalized Cards ($28 for box of 10). One is more darling than the next.
Simply Fab: Origami Greeting Card
How cool is this: a greeting card that not only does the normal job of carrying a message, but also pops up and doubles as an origami ornament! The Winter Card, $9.90, was inspired by the Chinese "Magic Flower" paper toy, and comes in lots of different bright colors and patterns. It's perfect for a unique way to tell your best friend happy birthday, your mom thank you, or just to write a quick note to a coworker!
Paper Dolls: Bonnie's StylePress
Former wedding planner and special events coordinator Bonnie Marcus started her stationery company Bonnie's StylePress as a result of always having to custom create innovative invitations for her ultra-stylish clients. No stranger to fashion herself (she worked with top designers like Diane Von Furstenberg), she felt the need to provide chic stationery for equally stylish customers.
In 2006, Bonnie won the American Express "Make Mine a $Million Business" contest for women entrepreneurs and is continuing to wow style mavens with her collections named "Down the Aisle," "Expecting in Style," "Beautiful Baby," "On the Move," "Party" and "Holiday Style."

I see London, I see France...Summer skirts and gymnastic-loving lil girls have been taunted about their undergarments throughout history. If only the beautiful bloomers and fun diaper covers that looked so cute on their tushes as tots worked for older kids too.
