When I was younger, my mom frequented Gigi's Dolls and Sherry's Teddy Bears on the north side of Chicago to build her doll collection, in the hopes that she might have a significant nest egg for the future.
In 2008, the economy went south for many years, wrecking those plans.
In 2020, she passed away, and my father and I had to sell off the collection in pieces to pay the bills. We ended up selling a fair amount back to Gigi's, but, on one of those trips, the owner allowed me to take this one for free. I was at the front desk, with the 20 and change in my hand, willing to pay, and she said, "No, just go ahead and take it."
This is the Toys'R'Us exclusive Millennium Princess edition of Barbie's friend Teresa. She wears more or less the same dress as Barbie, but in a resplendent forest green. She also has a different tiara and keepsake ornament.
