I got my Monja from ebay today and this poor girl looks like she has had a very hard life!! I still love her and I feel like I got a good price so I am not complaining, just sharing. I am happy to have her.

She came with a big GIANT mark of some sort on her back, terrible sandal marks on her legs and feet, a huge drop of paint on her heel, her joints are loose on one arm and one leg, she has tiny rubs all over, and worst of all...........one of her poor nipples was gone!!!!

Poor thing! She will definitely be taken better care of here. I have removed her other nipple so she matches, removed many of the rubs, and removed the drop of paint on her heel, all with Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It works wonders, I can see why they call it magic!! I will have to work on the marks from the sandals later and they don't bother me anyway cause she will be wearing socks.

At least her face and hair were beautiful!!! I really love her anyway, she's a keeper.

Here is the photo of her poor little self before I fixed the nipples to match. I had already fixed up her hair a bit when I took the photo too although it was in good shape when she came.

I so look forward to seeing her all dressed up. she has promise and a bright future in your capable hands.

Poor Monja she has had a very hard life.! Good job she has found a great Mummy now who knows how to use the magic eraser.! Face is the most important part and at least that is beautiful.

Awww bless her,Monja is home for good now with a mommy who will love her forever.
My Fina has one nipple higher than the other.

So do I Liz.!!
Oops better delete this.! I am NOT showing pictures.!

Come on dont be shy now DEBS..we're all girls here!!!
