Even though the Mattel dealer catalogue for late 1967 showed this outfit under the title: ‘NEW! FALL FASHION COLLECTION,’ with five other highly collectible outfits that weren’t otherwise illustrated in any of the fashion booklets at the time, ‘Bouncy-Flouncy’ looks perfect for the lovely Spring season that is just starting to bloom in this part of the world. (Sarah Sink Eames called these the ‘Mystery Outfits’ of 1967 in her wonderful book, ‘Barbie Fashion Vol. 1, 1959-1967. I now have all but one of those fashions to date!) Like those other outfits, this was another one that I have been wanting forever and now have thanks to my friend Linda De Angelo, (Thanks again Linda!) I love it as while it is a great example of the early Mod era styling of Barbie’s fashions, with its drop-waisted silhouette, bright colour and joyous print, it still retains some of the demure elegance of the previous Vintage era, with its ‘Sabrina’ neckline and those pretty tiered pleats! My favourite minty blonde TNT is modelling it here, and my other Mod gals think it’s far out, though I think my Color Magic gals want to wear it too! LOL Stay tuned for some other of my ‘wishlist’ outfits soon….
My favorite spot for having a cup of coffee. The little vase is an antique replica porcelain milk bottle by Alyssa Ettinger. It makes me happy every time I see it.

I had some fun re-arranging my home office and did this little shoot for gags.
Mad Men 1985-1996. If Don Draper had a home office in the late 80s to mid 90s, this would be it.
He’d use QuarkXpress on an Apple Powerbook to review his ads. He’d use a Braun Dieter Rams calculator.
The desk setup would have to be swanky like the George Nelson Swag Leg Desk, Tolomeo Lamp, and Herman Miller Eames Aluminum Group Softpad Task Chair. His camera would be a Leica and he’d wear Swiss timepieces like a Speedmaster Pro or GMTMaster. If he re-married another French Canadian or extensively travelled, might have picked up TinTin memorabilia. He'd still shoot with a vintage Leica rangefinder.
With the exception of the Mac Powerbook, these are all vintage, iconic designs. Some as old as 60 years old. Nelson desk 1958, Speedmaster Pro designed in 1957, Eames Aluminum Group designed in 1969. Most of which have been in continuous production.
