From Wikipedia:The Lennon Sisters are a singing group consisting of four siblings: Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet. They were all born in Los Angeles, California of German/Irish and Mexican ancestry. The original quartet were the eldest four in a family of twelve siblings. In 1992, younger sister Mimi replaced second sister Peggy who retired. Sister Dianne (DeeDee) has also retired. The group were a regular on the weekly television show, The Lawrence Welk Show. The current group line-up, appearing mostly at Welk resorts, consists of Mimi, Janet and Kathy.
Growing up, 2 of the sisters, Kathy and Janet, were especially close, and were “Best Pals.” Today they have replicated the cherished original rag dolls from their childhood. There is a whole collection for you to see on their website Bestpals. Very affordable, high quality, with great attention to detail.
I was excited because I grew up listening to these lovely ladies while my parents watched them on TV. To meet them in person was truly a privilege, they are a part of Americana! This is a great doll for this holiday season, it bridges the generation gap from grandparent to granddaughter!
And you know whenever I get a paparazzi opportunity, I take it!
Disclosure: I met these lovely ladies at the Time To Play toy event in NYC this week. I did receive a media kit with their CD and 2 dolls.
Cute pics! I have seen these dolls and have emailed them so hope to see them in person soon 🙂
You all look great!
Oh, my goodness! You met the Lennon Sisters — how fun is that?!
