Gone With the Wind Rhett Butler

[Tampa Doll]

What was the saying at the end of Gone With the Wind? Oh Yeah, “Frankly my dear I don’t give a d_ _ _.”

 

I remember when I first saw this movie. My Mom dragged me to one of the big theaters in Philadelphia; some of you remember the ones with the curtains that covered the screen till the movie started. I gave her a choice for her birthday, of anything she wanted to do. So I found myself sitting in the movie theater with her and my little sister. The lights go down, the curtain opens and the music starts. Typical teenager, I scrunched down in my seat and hoped the movie wasn’t long.

 

Then all of a sudden they pan down the stair case and there he was Rhett Butler in all his glory. I fell in love. Now I am sitting up and paying attention. By the end of the movie I am in tears. Oh I forgot to mention, not one of us had a tissue on us

 

You have met Melanie and Scarlett, Let me introduce you to Rhett.

I now have a better appreciation for those of you who design. I thought how hard could it be to make a suit for a 16” male doll. Just take a pattern for Ken and make it in yarn and with a larger hook. Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I had to try and copy the suit by looking at the pictures and matching what I was doing to the doll. I did not write anything down, and hope to not do this again. Oh yeah his out fit is made entirely of Peaches and cream. The colors used are: pants and hat –Silver Grey, vest – Misty Grey, Shirt – Egg shell and the jacket – Charcoal.

 

Here he is out for a stroll with Melanie and Scarlett.
