ModBarbieLover
CAREER GIRL
Yes, 'ModBarbieLover' has finally delved into the vintage era in a big way! I will show more of my new gals and fashions soon, but just had to show one of my all-time favourite vintage era outfits, 'Career Girl' from 1963/64 on my newest 1962 blonde bubblecut. Her lips needed touching up (they darkened to this very dull dark red and had a tiny rub, so I gave her some rich coral red lipstick that instantly brightened her whole face!) but otherwise, The rest of her facepaint was perfect. The poor gal also hadn't been stored properly as her legs were really bent at the shins, but a 'spa' of boiling water, then ice water fixed that. This is the Vintage era outfit (not the repro) but the bag is from the recent 'That Girl' Barbie doll and the addition of the three-strand pearl choker (custom made from a seller from eBay) was inspired by how a blonde bubble wore this outfit in a vintage TV ad for the fashion shop. Barbie is all ready for a big day at her boutique... (Now all I need is Barbie's Fashion Shop to put her in!!)
