paris baby same as paris doll, OED
ps (perhaps) announces that "the long blonde hair is up for auction" in a recent thread of the nj.com forum "nostalgia." no clarification from ps re. value at auction of nature-made v. bottle-dreamt. (most head props on "girls" over 12 created in a salon, though. have to assume that auction-goers abrade their noses for the unreal head, that most unreal demands the highest bid, that most unreal passing for most real-like sells to the man , no doubt, in the seersucker suit. this, predictable, post-hitchcock/post-warhol: grace kelly slurps campbell's tomato soup oil-off-canvas).
pony up for the realest paris head from a bottle! (her father asked for a mil, just to talk on camera with his paris baby out of jail).
paris head, 1561. S. Adams Househ. Accts. R. Dudley (1995) 132 (OED citation): "Paid for a parryes head with other furnyture for the chieff mourner at my ladies buryall," and (c1596 in Gentleman's Mag. (1819) 89 I. 23): "Next after them came the Lady Strange..in her paris head, tippit, wimple, vaile [etc.]."
paris heads, not necessarily blonde, but covered with something white.
single file to view the paris doll! (also from the OED: a dummy or mannequin dressed in the latest fashion, used by dressmakers as a model).
paris doll, since 1745: (1745 Gentleman's Mag. Oct. 553/1) "But Paris-dolls, by fashion and mamma, Tricked off, ‘all glare without distinction gay’," (1761 H. MANN Let. 2 May in H. Walpole Corr. (1960) XXI. 501) "His wife..is the Paris doll here, but too outrée to be followed," and (1950 P. BOTTOME Under Skin xii. 106) "The Paris doll, splendid in turquoise-blue taffeta under a golden lamé coatee, was poised within reach of Henriette's hand."
paris dolls, not necessary posed for autopsy, always for auction, but what's the difference, REALLY, definitely on display and for sale.
my sister says "everyone's got their price." but don't ya think sell out blonde heads should stake grey heads, aka ps. OED: (1702 STEELE Funeral V. i. 79) "Else Boys will in your Presence lose their Fear, And laugh at the Grey-head they should revere."
