    lovepuppy: I just woke up to a special delivery… remember FASHION PLATES? I still have this (and original packaging)! I used to love it so much. I also had another similar ‘toy’, except it was circular and you shifted bits of outfits around the circle to make your rubbing image. I think the circular one was given to my youngest cousin, but Fashion Plates is in the attic, I know!
