You know, we watched "Dancing with the Stars" recently. We watched Marie Osmond, and, tragically, she lost. But she was a winner, with this doll collection. Marie Osmond has a doll collection, and then, remember when she danced like a little doll? It was kind of bizarre, wasn't it? But that's why she got the idea. She has a doll collection, and this would be a Marie Osmond doll, even though I've been told it looks like Katherine Zeta Jones or Yoko Ono. It is, indeed, a look-alike, supposedly, of "Marie Osmond." But the thing that is very unique about this Marie Osmond doll is that she took her little hand and signed it. Says, "Marie Osmond, 1991." Why does it say '71? Oh, it does say '91. I'm sorry. 1991. So this is a newer version, this is a newer doll. When you buy newer dolls, you have to be careful. But if they're celebrity dolls, that's a good thing, especially if your celebrity was on "Dancing with the Stars," and signed her name on the back. But remember, this is a newer doll from the '90's. It's not an antique, but it is highly collectible. So, if you see Marie, say, "Hi," for me.
