Feeling Groovy Barbie (1986)
The author, Billy Boy, himself designed a Barbie, and she too is featured in this book. She was called “Feelin’ Groovy Barbie” and I have one, so I thought these additional pics might be nice. It was hard to get a decent close up as she’s NRFB, but I did my best. The artwork on the box is really lovely! The doll itself to me now has a very 80-ies feel to it, but she sports my favourite facemold (Steffie!) so I really love her.
By the way, in the early nineties the BBC did a documentary on Barbie, in which Billy Boy played a prominent role, although by that time he had fallen out of love with Barbie and had started designing his own fashion doll, called Mdvanii. To my surprise I found pics of this doll here on Flickr! Don’t know if she’s still being produced though.
