Hot Slut Of The Day!
Darci!
You can slap me thrice with Dame Joan Collins’ satin glove for bringing up the Met Gala again, but I need to say that besides Dame Joan Collins’ and a small handful of other precious jewels, the guest list was a mess. Where were true icons of “camp” like Angelyne or Charo or a Divine Hologram or…the one and only DARCI! Actually, inviting Darci doesn’t make much sense, because “camp” isn’t another definition for mind-bogglingly elegant.
Of course, there were many dolls who tried to yank Barbie’s polyester wig and take her place as the Empress of Dolls. One of those dolls was Darci. Kenner put out Darci in 1977, and unlike Barbie who has a zillion jobs, she just had one: to give FACE, BEAUTY, FACE. Long before dead-inside plastic doll Kendall Jenner was one of the biggest models in the game, dead-inside plastic doll Darci was the biggest model in the game (and apologies to Darci for that wrong comparison). Darci was an tall ass amazon supermodel doll who came in a blond polyester wig, a ginger polyester wig, or a brown polyester wig, and you could move her legs and arms to make her POSE! POSE! POSE!
The best thing about Darci isn’t that she knocked chirrun over with her insane supermodel posing skills, it’s that when Kenner discontinued her in 1981, they most likely used leftover Darcis to make the Jem! doll. So Darci obviously sacrificed herself so that true glamour could live. Supermodel AND a saint, that Darci was.
