5.0 out of 5 stars Carmen Miranda, April 17, 2005

If you love extravagant showgirl costumes you can't go past this paper doll by Tom Tierney. The illustrations are superb with a great attention to detail and the artist has captured Carmen Miranda's bubbly perosnality. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Item for Carmen Miranda Collectors, June 21, 2000

This review is from: Carmen Miranda Paper Dolls (Paperback)

This wonderful collection of paperdolls illustrated by Tom Tierney is a lovely addition to any Carmen Miranda fans collection. The "Lady in the Tutti Fruitti Hat" is wonderfully memoralized in this book with 31 of her most colorful, spectacular and outrageous costumes from the "Brazilizan Bombshells" Hollywood films from the 1940s. One of the most recognizable popular icons of the World War II era and a beloved figure to her Brazilian homeland, this book also includes a short biography and filmography. If you are a movie buff, a costume designer or a new fan of Carmen's you will be delighted with the collection and accuracy of these drawings.

I loved seeing Carmen Miranda when I was a kid, loved her flamboyant costumes and her dance routines. Now I have this book to remind me of what a neat performer she was.
