Dolly is in Los Angeles with "itsdan"...wow !...great weather & lots of wonderful Hollywood adventures!

Dolly Shows up on Dan's Doorstep

Under the Christmas tree Dolly meets Dan's childhood Barbie and Ken, and that little redheaded doll "cookinsupper" had such a hard time giving away on the doll board!

Dolly meets #1 Barbie and a #5 redheaded Barbie Dolly outside the tryout for Hollywood Squares
Dolly tries out to be a contestant on Hollywood Squares & makes it!

Dolly Plays & Dolly wins - Dolly as a contestant on Hollywood Squares. She is playing against Dan and wins $5000, but has to give it back when they realize her name isn't Brooke!  

As a consolation prize, they let her host an episode

...and sit in a square!

Dolly poses outside famed lingerie store Frederick's of Hollywood, but she's too shy to go inside!

Dolly Dearest? Dolly visits Grauman's Chinese
Theatre and puts her feet in the footprints of Joan Crawford and John Wayne (apparently Lucy finally managed to get Wayne's footprints back there!)

Dolly visits my friend Nancy's house, where she
lazes by the pool, has tea with some of Nancy's childhood dolls 

And picks a lemon from Nancy's lemon tree -
In January!!!
