sweet secrets (and some geekiness)

 

one of my favorite toys from the 80's was sweet secrets.

they were decorative "jewels" that transformed into dolls.

 sweet secrets also came with hair clip, bracelet, or necklace

so that you could wear it around as a fashion accessory.

i remember wearing one as a bracelet and thinking how

ridiculously large and awkward it looked on my wrist (but i still loved it anyway.) 

looks like an ordinary gem, but...	a surprise awaits inside!
kitty has unfolded.	ta da!

 i also used to make-believe that the blue jewel was like
the blue crystal the doctor had in the episode snakedance.
i would pretend to focus my mental energy on the crystal just like he did:

yes, even when i was six years old, i was a doctor who geek. :)
