Backcard Story
Note: These stories are reproduced exactly as they appear on the backcards, including all errors.
The Perfume Kitties and Puppies were watching the rain. "We can't play outside. What shall we do?" said Perfuma. "Let's ask Pinkums! She always has the best ideas!" cried Snowy Fur. "Let me think," Pinkums purred, putting on her carnation perfume, "Why don't we sing songs and play games?" So they played and sang till the rain stopped and the sun came out!
Perfume Kitties Gift Set
This gift set came with Lila and Pinkums in their perfume bottles and a real 1 Oz. perfume bottle containing real lily-scented perfume. In catalogs this set is called "Cologne Gift Set" but actual packaging uses the name "Perfume Kitties Gift Set". The shape and color of the real perfume bottle is different than what was shown in the catalogs which was golden and read "Dazzling Dream Cologne" on the bottle - the actual released version of the bottle was red with a purple bow lid and read "Little Pretty Fragrance".
Worth 2 Paw Point.
International Pinkums (Sweety)
The international version of Pinkums is called Sweety. The only difference is in the packaging.
Media Appearances
Pinkums as well as the Gift Set appeared in the 1990 Mattel Catalog (pages 90, 91, 94). The release of Gift Set differs from the catalog version - the Gift Set shows the "real" perfume bottle with a very different shape and color from that of the release version.[2] The Gift Set is also shown in the Mattel Girls Toys 1990 Repro Art Book[3]. Pinkums also makes an appearance in the Mail Order Pamphlet[4].
