Barbie Fashionistas 2019

So we got a first look at the Fashionistas coming out in Fall 2019.

First, the pluses: I love, LOVE the prosthetic leg so she will be a must-have! And the two ladies on each end are lovely.

The minuses: Only one doll is articulated. C'mon Mattel!!

Now, I'm surprised they put Barbie in the wheelchair and not one of Barbie's friends like back in the 90s.

I'd have to see the Ken in person as I'm on the fence about his looks but he looks like a broad Ken.

I like the idea of a tomboyish girl but it's not a favorite face of mine and the hair looks whack.

Finally, the girl with the braids seems 'meh' to me. She's another one I'd have to see IRL first.

What do you guys think?

Goddess of Beauty and Goddess of Wisdom Barbie Dolls

My wishlist is as long as a mile but I recently got to cross off two dolls - Goddess of Beauty and Goddess of Wisdom! I have been searching for GoB for a few years now and finally she's mine! She is aptly named because she is such a beauty.

 

I now have to find body donors for both of them, make up profiles and induct them into my Barbie community. Lol.

 

Introduction

Hi everyone!

I'm Dee and I started this blog to share my love of (read: addiction to!) Barbie dolls. I've been collecting for almost 15 years and I've amassed quite a collection.

Here you'll get to see photos of my dolls and playsets but I don't have enough room to display them all right now.

I started a Barbie town and all of my dolls do have names, families, jobs, etc. but I keep the dolls and playsets in storage tubs until I have a doll room where I can lay out my little town.

I also hope to use this blog to do reviews of new release dolls and to highlight the on-going saga between adult doll collectors and Mattel.

I lurked on Blogger and Flickr for many years, admiring and enjoying the many talents of collectors, but not until one of my favorite bloggers, Vanessa of Van's Doll Treasures, died did I decide to share my own collection with others who could derive as much pleasure from my blog as I did from Vanessa's blog.

So I started my Flickr page, then Instagram account, and now this blog! You can find me on Flickr and Instagram with the profile picture below.
