Unlike last year when it took forever for the basics to get in store. This year they are already in Town. The dolls and accessories are a must have. They will all be mine soon. Very soon !!!;-D!!!
We didn't need much more: A small and simple tent, jam and juice for breakfast (along with baguette, of course) and our bikes. I tell this my kids and they look at me in disbelieve... (hope it's only this).

Hello
.....

Have I got an exclusive for you.....
I just recently discovered The 1996 Atlanta Olympics Barbie, Im currently in a 90's phase right now. I love her articulation specially her waist. its so flexible and comes out really natural looking in pictures, also im a sucker for dolls with straight hands lol I dont know why =)
I have been a fan of this face mold for a while too. It has that 90's barbie friendly look that I love, However I had to do some minor changes with this doll, she came with this hideous bangs like most 90's barbie and she didnt have any part, so I transplanted some of her hair from the back and made her a side part cutting the bangs and ultimately hiding it. I tried giving her some big waves but her hair i guess is naturally wavy like she just came out of the beach, but thats fine with me.
again for this shoot I was inspired by teen vogue and how fun and colorful and yet trendy their shoot are. hope you like it (sorry it was a long one) =)
hey! i am back to blogging i am currently looking for sponsors and get back to buissness
i am currently working on my blog so it is out of construction so i will just blog here on flickr ! thnx xoxox
Ok you guys… Go to your nearest Marshalls and TJ Maxx right this minute! The Barbie Look City Shopper dolls are sold for $16.99 over there or better yet go to Tuesday Morning. They have the dolls in stock for $14.99 and the fashion packs for $9.99. This is actually the first time I’ve seen them in person. Walmart and the Target near me don’t seem to carry them. I went to Marshalls first and they have 4 Brunette Mackies, 4 Blonde Laras and 1 Blonde Steffie. I’ve never seen AA Mbili in stores ever so I got her online instead. I’m quite happy to see them in stores so that I could inspect and choose the dolls, being the anal retentive that I am. I’ve been meaning to get these dolls, but I guess the over pricing of the dolls in stores kinda put me off. The dolls and accessories are sold $5 more from the regular retail price at Target which makes them steep for what’s supposed to be an affordable line. As a predecessor to Barbie Basics, The Barbie Look is something that I’ve been looking forward to. The African-American City Shopper with the Mbili face sculpt from the Spring Collection is identical to Barbie Basics 2.0 Model No. 8 with the cropped hair. What makes her face screening different is that the paint app appears to be crisper and her lipstick has a pearlescent finish. Her styling is very L.A. which coordinates with the fashion pack from Barbie Basics 2.0 Look No. 2 with the camel colored sweater. You might have noticed Bill Greening loooves sweaters and sweater dresses! But what I like about The Barbie Look is that the fabrics used for the dresses stayed true to the prototype unlike with Basics where they used a different, probably inferior material when they produced the camel colored sweater. Though I love blonde City Shopper with the Steffie face sculpt from the Spring Collection, I just thought she wasn’t as cute as her Basics 2.0 counterpart. I have to have that Missoni inspired halter dress though! Now the Fall Collection is significantly of better quality compared to Spring. They finally got rid of the sewn-on strips which do nothing but damage the hair. They now use strings to secure the hair. This time the heads of the dolls are squishy which could probably mean they no longer glue the inside of the heads, and the rooted lashes are actually executed better and they curl up so we can see the eyes better. Blonde City Shopper with the Lara sculpt is probably my favorite. Unlike the other three dolls who pulls face screening from their Basics 2.0 versions, Blonde Lara pulls face screening from Basics 1.0 Model No. 2. I think she was styled really well. I love that she’s pale and I love the print of her dress and her stockings. The only thing I would change is her boots which is the go-to shoe mold for Mattel whenever the doll is wearing stockings. They really need to mix things up and come up with new accessory molds. Brunette City Shopper with the Mackie face sculpt shares the same face screening as Basics 2.0 Model No. 1 only this time she has brown eyes instead of blue. The one thing I liked about the prototype was that the hemline of her dress came down to the knees which I thought was chic, but the dress was shortened in production. Although she’s not up to par with the other dolls, I think she has a potential to look edgy with a short hair and with better styling. What I like about The Barbie Look is that finally Barbies with the ModelMuse and Pivotal/Articulated bodies now have more fashions to wear which was something that was ironically lacking after the On Location series ended. Barbie being a fashion model but doesn’t have any clothes to wear sounds ironic to me. The fashion packs from the series are reminiscent of the vintage fashions produced from the late 50s and early 60s which the theme of the line is inspired from. Each fashion packs includes new accessories which some I’ve never seen before, including the golf set from Pink On The Green, the tea set from Tea Party and a the Pool Side includes a fruit platter, a fan, and a pair of glasses first used for the BFMC Palm Beach Collection. I think I’ve got almost everything that I wanted from this line including the Winter Weekend ski set on the way. I just need the TBL Wardrobe next. I’m excited for next year’s Collection as Bill G mentioned the dolls will be more glamorous. Hopefully we’ll see more darker skintones, fierce faces and tasteful fashions.

Create a Basics regular body doll. Not sure which sculpt is which in the kit. I don't see where it is clearly marked, but this one was my hands down favorite, even though I thought I would like the side glancing girl more.
I love her! This is probably the only one Ill be getting. She reminds me of FR Giselle! Too bad there is no Midge/Diva in the new collection...
This Barbie Basic is my favorite of all the girls that I have. Maybe she is not the most beautiful but there is something about her, for me at least, that seems almost real! :)
I find this girl SO hard to photograph, she has one eye that picks up the light and makes me crazy when trying to get a good shot of her. This is the best I've been able to get of her. I like her in person, but photographing her is a nightmare, lol.
