Tired of "playing dollies"?  Ready for a change?  Try dyeing Gene or her clothes!

Recently members of SAGE were inspired by Tim McManus' dyeing Monaco's wedding dress purple and Red Venus' dress black.  Tim did a beautiful job with Rit® dye on the stove.  Recently, I repeated Tim's success by dyeing my own Red Venus gown as well as the White Hyacinth outfit and accessories black.  Other Gene fans have tried their hand at actually dyeing the doll!  Charles Josef "wowed" us at the NJ Convention with his green witch and Don Philpot made Gene "shine" as the African American star Josephine Baker.
