In these days I celebrate my 16th Barbie collecting anniversary. I begann to collect at the end of 1996. Now we have the year 2012.
A long search came to an end
After almost 21 years I finally found the name of a Barbie doll that I saw in a department store when I was six years old. The mysterious doll was nowhere listed in my books. It was strange. I only remembered that she had a lipstick in the box and there was the function to change the lip-colour of the doll. A month ago I found and bought her. Here she comes… Beauty Barbie
Happy New Year 2012
I wish you a Happy New Year 2012.
My first ooak
Today I wanna show you the result from my first ooak-try. I used the head that I have rerooted in March. In the meantime I found a body for the doll and dressed her with my self-made friendship-bracelet dress. To do a single bracelet lasted between two and twenty hours (depending on the pattern). So in general I can say I put a lot of work in this dress. Hope you like it 🙂
In the next weeks to come…
As theme for my next article I will write a bit about the Totally Yoyo -Series from 1998. It was the second series to use the Teen Skipper. At the moment I’m still waiting for the Totally Yoyo Nikki to arrive here. I will post pics from the whole series as far as she arrives here.
Teen Courtney US-Version
In the meantime I made pics from the first Teen Courtney US-Version. Hope you like them.
A happy new Barbie year
Finally I have some free time to write a new article. I was home for Christmas and came back 10 days ago. My Christmas gift was the Pink Splendor Barbie. I wanted her since 1999 when I saw her the first time ( although she was released in 1996). Since the prices for Barbie dolls are not the highest ones in history at the moment I found a seller who sold her for a good price.
To be honest I was amazed when I opened the shipper to get her box out of the shipper. My first thought when I saw her was “wow”. She came in the biggest box I have ever seen anf she filled the box out. I’m happy to have her in my collection now.
