Barbie's Closet

 

Purchased outfits (I love the teeny-tiny labels inside!). Barbie was apparently very into pleather.

Handmade outfits.

And hangers especially for each doll (who chewed on the top of Barbie's hanger?). 

Barbie's Stuff

 

Barbie accessories...including the infamous scale with 110 pounds on it (it's fuzzy!). Not sure who the one earring belongs to (they don't have pierced ears). And the little record comes off of the record player. 

I love the little purse below: it is a "winky" (lenticular image)--the dancers' legs "move" up and down (impossible to photograph!).

A variety of boot styles, including the gold lame one that fits over a high-heeled shoe...

Shoes--I have TONS more--including a toe shoe...

...which fits perfectly on Barbie's much-discussed foot shape. 

Barbie and Friends

 

Barbie and her pals, clockwise from upper left: two Barbies (the one on the left has interchangeable heads!); two Francies; two Skippers; Fluff (kind of a rare doll, actually). 

I love this filter...it looks as if they were in a photo booth.

Barbie Fun

 

I decided to get my Barbies out in honor of the new Barbie movie opening tomorrow...

First up: a wedding tableau in honor of my nephew and his fiancee getting married today. Congrats, Ted and Steph! 

My mom sewed Barbie's ensemble (though she doesn't remember making it), complete with a lacy garter ("something blue"). Poor Ken, ever the afterthought...no formal clothes for him, so he is wearing a Swingin' Sixties outfit.  

Shoebox Full of Memories

 When you find a shoebox full of dolls that your mom kept (even though she was not supposed to, right, Vivi [smiley face]?)...those are Dawn dolls above. They are having very bad hair days!

 And these are Tiny Teen dolls.

 Dress forms...

 White poodles...

And tiny pink phones!
