Ladies Night Part 2

Let's meet the rest of the lovelies from our Ladies Night!

This pretty blonde with articulated legs and one arm straight, one arm bent. Unfortunately someone gave her a nose job!

This one is really pretty and has some pretty blonde hair in great condition. Her lips are a little larger than most Barbies but very pretty makeup colors. Same as the last doll, one arm straight, one arm bent with articulated legs.

We know who she is! Tinkerbell!

So I found out last time who the little Kelly was (thanks Andrea!) She goes with the Skipper I posted last time from the Sisters Skateboard! package. (I have her little helmet too, so cute.) But who is the other girl? And is she Stacie? Chelsea? I can never keep the two straight.

She has very pretty red hair. My Scene doll?

This has got to be a Fashionista. Lovely brunette with articulated arms, wrists and legs.

She looks a little different than your general Barbie. Is she from a different line or something? She is not articulated.

Another pretty brunette. She is not articulated either but she has flat beach feet.

Oh my, this Fashionista had a very bad bang trim. She is a Swappin' Styles.

 

This pretty Ariel doll loves the water! You press her seashell and her tail lights up. Fun!

The only old style body of the entire bunch. A Christie! She has bent arms and is wearing painted on purple ballet slippers.

Oh, isn't she just the cutest? So now, which one is this? If this one is Stacie than the other might be Chelsea. Or is this one Chelsea? I don't think this is her original dress though. But she's super adorable!

Another pretty blonde (she is clothed though, just wearing a low cut top!) She has straight arms and non articulated legs.

This one also had a haircut but it's not bad though. Looks like windswept hair! Maybe would need a little fixing up but all in all it seems pretty even in the back. She is non articulated, one arm straight, one arm bent. Her knees do not bend at all! She has flat beach feet.

One last final shot of the ladies at their awesome waterfall party. :) Tune in later and we will get into the fashions that I got! Until next time!

The Newbies (and as always, some ID)

Good Day!

I am back from a wonderful weekend of visiting the parents. I always love going back home for a weekend to get a wonderful dose of "Mom's Cooking." Love it!

The weekend before this last one, the hubby was away so I got all the time in the world to go to garage sales. My husband goes with the intention of looking for 'something.' If he doesn't need anything, he doesn't stop at any sales. I try to tell him, "You never go to a yard sale with the intention of buying anything. You see what they have and if you like it, then get it." But he doesn't take that approach. SO...I got to go without him!

And there were a LOT in my area. Every one I stopped at, there were 4 or more signs on the post at the end of the street. Fun!

So I got a few dolls! I almost scored on 2 80's Kens and Barbie's horse but unfortunately someone took those before I got there. Bummer!

Here is what I did get!

I dug and dug and dug through this box of little girls toys and picked up the doll on the right. She was missing a head but I found it in the box too. :) Obviously she is a Fashionista's Swappin' Styles but not sure which one. Glam? She has gold earrings. Her hands and feet are chewed so we will have to get rid of those and replace them. Hair is pretty messy but I have a beautiful Swappin' Styles head to put on her. (With perfect hair because it's going to be impossible to get this hair looking curly again!)

The one on the left threw me through a loop for a while. I knew I had seen her somewhere and she had rooted eyelashes!

Remember this doll from my 25 days of Barbie posts?

Burgundy was a Sears exclusive. She also came in green.

Yep, she is the 2004 Holiday Barbie. I knew I had seen that choker before somewhere! As shown in my pic, she has a little bit of 'war paint' and some fixing up but I'm sure we can get her spic and span in no time!

This doll I am a little frustrated with (which is sad because she's really cute.) She is fully anatomical (except for wrists and ankles) but she is so loose she cannot hold a shape or even sit up.

She has cute sparkly makeup and a kind of braid or twist going across the head before collecting in the ponytail. She also has painted on white ballet slippers. Who is she?

This one is a generic newer bodied doll. I don't know if she will be able to be identified.

And this beauty. Palm Beach Teresa has a friend. Palm Beach Christie! I love how I am getting more and more Christie dolls on my excursions. And no chipping or marks on the painted swimsuit anywhere!

And the fun clothes!

A pink nylon backpack, a purple jacket with sleeve rouching,  pink gingham and lace panties, a chunky sweater, a green tank, gold pleather pants and a pink gym bag. The sweater is the only one that has a genuine Barbie tag.

But take a look at the gym bag. It turns inside out into a little ballet dress!

Someone please help me with this tutu. I cannot get it on a doll because there is no where for her legs to go through! How does she wear this?

I also found one last thing. A little top that was inside out. I was trying to turn it right-side out and realized that it had something stuck in its little sleeves.

It's a shirt for Draculara! I think I might put the hands on my Rochelle Goyle. Two pink is better than one grey right? :)

That's all for now! See you all next time!

Dance Moves Barbie

So first off, I clothed my Christie doll. :) I looked at her hair and I didn't want to do much to it because most of it was in those perfect little ringlets.

So I just took it out of the regular ponytail and put it in a lower one and kind of tried to hide the straight parts.

Kind of worked...maybe...sorta. ;)

The shirt that I had was her original shirt. I looked online and realized that she was from the 2004 Cali Girl set of dolls because she is scented. She still smells like suntan lotion.

In researching the 2004 set, I found out that this little bikini was on the Lea doll.

So I put it on my Christie.

Looks cute!

Okay, I bet you didn't think that this post would be about Dance Moves Barbie huh? ;) just kidding.

My mom bought some dolls from a yard sale and she was stark naked. But she is in really great condition! I looked her up online and realized that I had the better part of her outfit.

She had all parts right down to the accessories (except the boom box) and the correct shirt. But she needed something so I felt that the lime green would be a nice contrast. A little bit of funky to go with the pink sparkle!

She's pretty.

And she still moves like a charm!

When I first looked at her in the box, I didn't know which doll she was. The articulated legs didn't ring any bells but I found some papers in the box.

That made it real easy for me to tell who she was and now I had the instructions on how to properly make her dance. And I believe that the sticker sheet goes with her too. Can you believe it's complete?

There are no decals on the walkman so I'm thinking that these must be for that. Or maybe this sticker sheet isn't for this doll at all. With the soda and the bird food stickers, i'm not sure.

Well, the moment you've been waiting for. What is in the package with the cute Barbie sticker?

Ta-da!

The original shirt for Dance Moves Barbie! I searched and searched eBay and found this one. It was the one that had the least amount of snags. The material is the same as the bodysuit for Day to Night Barbie.

I am so happy that she is complete!

So, another complete doll to add to my 1980's collection!

The Help! First, should I keep the sticker sheet as is? Does it even go to Dance Moves Barbie? Also in the box was the instructions for the "So Much To Do Bedroom Playset" from 1995. Maybe those stickers goes to that?

Also, the shirt I had on Barbie before the awesome original shirt.

Any ideas? I think it would look cute as part of a beach outfit.

Also, anyone have ideas on how to restyle Christie hair? I would love to make the straight parts of the hair in those ringlets but I doubt that will happen without some major work.

So no more exciting mail order items for a while. But thrift store goodies are in store for this week! I did get the Liv doll along with some other goodies! Stay tuned!

~The 80's collection is building, so exciting!~
