Hey Gang!
I find a doll at the thrift store that I have kinda wanted. I say kinda
because there are dolls that I am saving for (mostly IT male dolls), doll that hoping will
come up for sale ( mostly IT dolls). That I will put in my cart if I find them at a
thrift store. Flo Jo is in that last category.
So, Flo Jo-Florence Griffith Joyner-the women!
Florence Delorez Griffith-Joyner (Born Florence Delorez Griffith December 21, 1959-September 21, 1998), also known as Flo-Jo, was an American track and field athlete. She is considered the fastest woman of all time based on the fact that the world records she set in 1988 for both the 100m and 200m still stand. During the late 1980s she became a popular figure in international track and field because of her record-setting performances and flashy personal style. Griffith Joyner was born and raised in California. She was athletic from a young age. She attended California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLS) where she participated in track and field. Griffith Joyner qualified for the 100m 1980 Olympics, although she did not actually compete due to the U.S. boycott. She made her Olympic debut four years latter winning a silver medal. At the 1988 U.S. Olympic trials, Griffith set a new world record in the 100 m. She went on to win three gold medals at the 1988 Olympics. Shortly after the 1988 games, she abruptly retired. After her retirement from athletics, Griffith Joyner remained a pop culture figure though endorsement deals, acting and designing. She died in her sleep as the result of an epileptic seizure in 1998 at the age of 38.
Know for her long and decorated finger nails and....

Congratulations! It's a beautiful doll!
Thanks for your comments D7ana and Millicent. I think she looks like the person which is what you want from a celebrity doll!
I think the outfit your chose is from Hot Skatin' Barbie. I know it's from one of the roller skating or inline skating themed Barbie dolls. Hope this helps.

Oh, wow, congrats! You were so lucky to have found her.
What a wonderful find! She is a very pretty doll! I love her painted nails and the outfit you put on her does seem to fit her personality.
Congrats, Ms. Leo! The Flo Jo fashions show up on eBay often at very low beginning bids and "buy it now" auctions.
