A Whole Bunch'a Kelly!

First off I'd like to start with a few updates to some of my dolls.

I fixed Ballerina Barbie's hair. This is the new one that I put in the ice blue skater outfit.

Remember the ice blocks I bought a few weeks ago? Well, they go very well with her and I think it's cute that she's sitting one one.

I switched the doll I had in the purple Fashionista dress and Barbie loves Buzz. This is the one previously in the Barbie loves Buzz dress.

She fits good with this directors chair. I didn't plan this but when I went in to take this photo the heel was hanging off of her toes. I think it's cute! Gives her a relaxed look.

This is the real Barbie loves Buzz doll. Her hair was trained to go into that side ponytail that the doll is manufactured with. She is a much better fit for this outfit.

Remember a long time ago when I found the boots for Glam Jet Paris Barbie?

I just had to put them on her but I didn't really have a dress to match. So here is what I came up with.

I think they look okay but I can find a much better dress to match. I don't currently have one so I'll keep looking.

Okay, time for this week's thrift store goodness!

What is in this adorable bag? (The bag is going to my niece. Super cute huh?)

Kelly Dolls!

Last week I mentioned that there were a ton of Kelly dolls in the mix. I didn't buy them because I can't dress them. This week I figured "what the heck? Let's do it!" At $2 for this (plus other goodies) I couldn't go wrong.

Lets check them out!

First off, I only picked the ones that had "Mattel" on the back. The only one that didn't is the one with green hair on the lower right. She had generally the same face and body type but I loved the uniqueness of it!

Here are some of the ones that are a little different. Please help me identify them if you can!

These have a heart on the tummy and the open mouth reminds me of baby dolls that have a space for a bottle or pacifier.

The middle one has no heart. Just the way I organized them, Sorry ;)

These two have a lever in the back and I think it moves their arms.

This is the only one with cute little freckles.

Tommy? or Kelly with cut hair?

These three have different colored hair than the rest.

I also threw these dolls in the mix. They said Mattel but I have no idea what dolls they are or if they are even from the Barbie line.

These seem like more of a "baby" than Kelly. They have bigger bodies than Kelly and are rather heavy for a doll of their size.

On the backs they are stamped with "1979 Mattel Inc. Indonesia"

These are stamped with Mattel on the bottom of their feet. They remind me of McDonalds Happy Meal Barbies.

This one is a "Simba" brand. Oops, but she's still cute.

Two other goodies I threw in the Kelly mix.

A Barbie Magic Wand. It looks like a horse which makes me think it's a toy from the "Magic of Pegasus" line.

It lights up!

It's not damaged at all so that is a score. It will look great with some of my princess dolls.

And snowman pants!

Any help is always greatly appreciated! I will leave you with this final picture. I have a Kelly doll that I bought years ago.

Little Surfer Lorena. I love surfing and I had her displayed in my dorm room in college along with my other surfing decor. She was a great addition and I love her!

Barbie Makeover

So I spent a lot of time today making over some of the dolls that I got yesterday. Here is the makeover photo shoot!

Remember her? 

She is Corinne from Barbie and the Three Musketeers. I fixed up her hair and put on her skirt.

AND...her skirt doubles as a cape.

But I'm leaving it as a skirt. Much cuter that way.

And the other skirt/cape I posted yesterday belongs to this doll.

She is Aramina also from Barbie and the Three Musketeers. I don't have the original dress so I had to leave the top on her and add the skirt.

She cleaned up nicely, no more ink marks and hearts all over her torso.  In the last post the reason why I thought she was some kind of mermaid doll was because I thought that what was in her hair was a sheashell. Come to find out it was just her mask that was broken off.

Remember the Fashionista doll? 

This is a Swappin' Styles Sweetie doll. And this is her original dress. It's a little dirty but I can wash it later. And fixed her hair of course. :)

I added some fun pink shoes to complete the look.

The before pic of Barbie Loves Buzz.

I added some leggings that were on another doll that I purchased yesterday and some purple pumps.

Also, this is not the original doll. The original does not have anatomical legs and has earrings and longer hair. Her original hair style is a ponytail to the side so I tried that with this doll.

She definitely has longer hair when you look at the original. But this hair is saying "To Infinity and Beyond!" It almost defies gravity doesn't it! 

Not bad for piecing an outfit together.

I was confused about this doll. I figured she might be some kind of beach doll because she has the sunglasses attached to her head.

Andrea informed me that she is a 2010 Glam Jet Barbie! Honestly, never heard of her! Andrea sent me a picture and then I found this picture after 30 minutes of searching. I don't think she is that common.

Since I don't have the adorable outfit and bag, I dressed her in a swimsuit and sarong ensemble. All while matching the sunglasses!

Next, here is a before picture of the other Fashionistas doll.

She is actually a Wave 2 Sporty Fashionistas doll wearing a Swappin' Styles dress. As I was fixing her hair I saw that she had adorable twisties on each side.

I kept her in the dress and added some purple sneakers. That is as sporty as she will get for now!

I also had this super cute, shy smile, side looking dark haired doll.

She is Raquelle from Barbie A Fairy Secret. In the bunch of clothes I bought yesterday was her original dress minus the fairy wings.

The turquoise pumps match the tulle on her dress.

Lastly, remember I had this very dirty doll.

She is Glitter Beach Barbie and she desperately needed a bath. Here she is, all clean and dressed!

It seems that washing her hair brought back the wave in it. I thought for sure the shampoo and conditioner would wash any curl or wave right out. It must be the synthetic hair.

I re-added her bow. I might take it out though because for some reason her hair looks brighter without it. Her legs still need some work as they are full of dark spots and stains. Think that could be from the glitter that girls sprayed on her?

I also washed this Fashionista head. The pink was a little dingy and then I touched up the black on the bow with a Sharpie. :) Sharpie use #800!

I might work on more of them tomorrow. But today I made 8 dolls pretty again. Not bad for a day's work!

~Makeover fun!~
