I live in the UK and have been collecting fashion dolls since 1989. For many years, I collected only early Barbie and Lilli dolls, but recently I have become more open minded and my collection now includes mod, 70s and Superstar era Barbie dolls, as well as an assortment of fashion dolls from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I particularly enjoy collecting the larger fashion dolls, such as Bella's Cathy, Palitoy's Sheena, and Furga's S and V girls.

I love mint dolls, but get just as much satisfaction from played with dolls I need to clean up or even restore, so my collection includes both kinds of doll.
