The summer may have been dominated by a certain movie but I wasn't going to let that deter me from ensuring Sindy made her mark. This year especially - as our beloved girl is 60 years young. So I set about using my journalist contacts to pitch a 'Move over Barbie - Sindy is 60 this year' feature. This led to me being invited onto This Morning to share my collection. Or, part of my collection as I couldn't transport and set up everything - we all know how big the house is! After initially being contacted by a researcher the week before I appeared on live TV, I was then interviewed by an assistant producer over the phone. The segment was

On Tuesday 10th July 2023 our Editor Penelope got an access-all-areas pass to the This Morning set and studios at the Television Centre in White City, London. While the other Sindys got ready for their close up, Penelope took notes from behind the scenes about our debut appearance on TV. This Morning is a British daytime magazine programme broadcast live every weekday from 1012.30pm. It first aired in 1988.

an
Action Man figure collector, Andy from @vintage_action_man I've worked in publishing and media for a long time and have always been behind the scenes, So, needless to say I was nervous about appearing on TV and live TV no less! I think I buried my fear (and faced it anyway) as I was so determined to shine a spotlight on Sindy, our wonderful doll community, and also on my side project, that being Mam'selle. We all have to be our own cheerleader after all - right? MAM'SELLE MAGAZINE | 27
