well, princess shelly originally had that twin braid hairstyle, but you
know me, i can't resist modifing for the sake of singularity! i also did a
brown wig for a princess character no one has seen yet. ;-) the indian hair
will hold any number of the "tiny peg" accessories. the plumes look cool as
an exotic hair decoration. you are so right! these indian sets are really
great for pieces!
