She's so unusual!

Meet Cyndi Lauper, one of Mattel's Ladies of the 80s series. I saw her at Toys R Us, and I'm embarrassed to admit that I couldn't pass her up!

Her outfit is really well done--and her hair is fantastic. It has a little braid on one side, and it's "shaved" on the other. Plus, she's wearing fishnet stockings. Her make-up is authentic, too: gold glitter eye shadow (yes, I had some back in the day). I was a little disappointed that Van Gogh's "Starry Night" wasn't painted on the soles of her shoes, however.

See the rest of her photo shoot on Flickr.
