The Malibu Skipper paper doll actually resembles real life!

Skipper got her own quasi-beach-themed paper doll set in 1973, #1952 Malibu Skipper.  This was the first paper doll set I purchased as an adult collector.

Except for a few outfits, most of the clothing would not be something you'd wear to the beach.  And I'm not sure why someone living in Malibu would need a winter coat!

Several of the outfits have clashing patterns, but they are not as obnoxious as the ones for the original Malibu Barbie paper dolls.


I do love the sailing outfit
including the life preserver on the front cover!


Now this looks like something
a girl in Malibu in 1973 would wear!


The skirt and blouse on the upper left
is a variation of Flower Fancy/School Starts
and the coat is a variation of Winter Day.
