Another MIP Mod fashion set designed for Miss Hitomi and Emily dolls.

While a doll case idea is nothing new for fashion dolls - Takara took the idea a step further and created a unique portable beauty salon case (it actually reads saloon on the front) for Miss Take and her friends - Miss Hitomi and Miss Emily. The case had a removable and adjustable hair salon-type hooded hair dryer with a real mirror vanity, not that cheap mylar junk! It even has a cabinet for all of Miss Take's hair care items too. The case had a nice plastic handle with a daisy design on it and two Takara logos too - one on each end. The case sides fold together and have a clear wrap around strap that attaches to the sides of the case with hook and loop fastener.

Here's another interesting case that is round-shaped with pictures of Miss Hitomi and Miss Emily on the front.  It has a chain strap. We know that while Miss Hitomi and Miss Emily are grow hair dolls, Takara also marketed wigs for them, so maybe this was a carrying case for their wigs. We have seen this store hair care accessories also such as a Crissy-style hand held hair dryer, comb and brush set and hair pieces.

This is the back of one of the Miss Take fashion sets - note the groovy clothes and another view of the beauty salon.

The package says: Miss Take Longhair Hair Decoration Set They were produced to match the hair color of particular Miss Take dolls. There were also different various hairpieces to produce a wide range of styles for Miss Take. The rear view shows some examples of how the hair decoration sets hairpieces can be used. These sets are inexpensive when found.

While Takara Toy Company created various fashions for Miss Take and her friends, they also created different shoe styles. One shoe style looks very similar to 1972 Uneeda Jennifer's shoes - a doll released two years after Takara's Miss Take.  See Miss Take wearing those on the left. Its very easy to identify Miss Take's shoes as Takara has their logo on the bottom. Another shoe looks like Ideal Velvet's T-Strap shoes and the third is a variation of a moccasin style - see that style on Miss Emily on the left. All three shoe styles have a R and L shoe although they are not identified by any markings.

This hair care set has a special rinse to use on Miss Take's hair to cure any bad hair day.
