The Rachael Leigh Cook Josie doll comes wearing lined brown patent leather lizard skin pattern pants with gold stitching and a gold chain belt with a gold Pussycat charm attached. The pants are removable with Velcro in the back and have a sewn on snap to attached the brown beige and black animal patterned faux fur tail.  On top the doll wears a shimmering copper netted sleeveless crop top with a brown band of material underneath.  A clear elastic band holds it up around the neck and the  is removable with Velcro closures and the neck and around the back.   The shoes are clear soft jelly plastic platform hi-heeled slip on sandals with gold plastic straps.   Underneath the pants the doll body has molded white hard plastic panties.

The doll is made with an unusual soft squishy rubbery plastic body, even the stomach torso area and buttocks are pliable. The soft rubber appendages include click joint elbows, knees and hips (move only forward and backwards). Head moves side to side and tilts but doesn’t lock into place.  The shoulders are ball joints that move in every direction. The soft waist and torso bend and twist but don’t lock in to any position. The finger nails and toes have a painted copper manicure.

The face is painted with brown eyes and dark coppery orange closed lips and black eyebrows.  Gold plastic dot post earrings are in the ear lobes. The head is covered with two-toned red shoulder length wavy rooted hair and the black velvet rhinestone decorated pussycat headband with brown, tan, and black animal pattern faux fur ears holds it all back.  Matching bendable faux fur snap on tail and Velcro closure wrists bands complete the look.  

Comes with white plastic guitar with 3 dimensional detailed silver and black strings, fret board, knobs, and tuning pegs.  Gold elastic guitar strap that is really too short and can easily be substituted with a longer piece of elastic of your choice.  A  red and black hand microphone complete with switch detail attaches to a silver, gold, and black microphone stand are also included in what the box calls “ROCKIN’ EXTRA Instrument included”. 

All three Josie and the Pussycats dolls are in the museums collection.
