Lemon Merigue from Strawberry Shortcake

Do you remember Strawberry Shortcake and her friends? They were all the rage in the late 1970s/early 1980s, made a comeback in the early 2000s - and are back again this year! My interest (of course!) is in Strawberry Shortcake's friend Lemon Meringue.

According to Wikipedia, Lemon Meringue was introduced in "Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City" (1981). However, other sources list Lemon Merigue as first being released in 1979. Whenever she was designed, though, Lemon Meringue is a primping beauty known around the city as a famous model. When pressed for details, however, she admits that her "pictures" are mostly owned by members of her immediate family. Originally, Lemon Meringue had a frog for a pet, but the Frap has since been replaced with Sourball, the Skunk.
