Oh my goodness.

I’ve got an Explorer.
And her name is Dora.

Dora, Dora, Dora, the Explooooorrrreeeerrrrr!!!!!!!!!

“No. No. No. No. Mama.
Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama. Boots. Boots. Boots. Boots. (Dora’s faithful sidekick)
I WANT DORA, Mama. Dora! Dora! Dora!”

Okay I get the point.

The same point that I have gotten 2 other times before this. . . . . .when I made this very same costume for two other Dora aficionados.

Though one wasn’t really an Exploradora, she was more of a Grumpadora.

And the other one hung up her exploring pants in favor of biting fangs and blood, but you know, whatever floats your boat.

Now, this. . . . . .

is a real, full fledged Dora the Explorer. Plain and simple. Except that I had to chase her around the house and make her wear this wig, after promising her candy galore.

I don’t think the real Dora The Explorer would push her madre to such measures.
