1991 – Brunette My First Ballerina Barbie

So Pretty

How cute is this lady? From my good friend Lori, this is the doll that first got me chatting to her. Beautiful Steffie face with long thick brunette hair. She is so cute. I am not mad keen on her Ballerina outfit s one day she will get something new to wear.

1987 – Perfume Pretty Barbie (Makeover)

I got a rather bedraggled Perfume Pretty Barbie from a friend the oher day. Now I had a Perfume Pretty Barbie as a kid then re-got her a few years back in the box. Ididn’t like her at all as she had poor quality straw like hair so I sold her on. 

  Being a nice cheap price I thought I would try PP again. I spent 40 minutes brushing and conditioning the tangles out but it was worth it.  Click for bigger pics

1985 – Peaches & Cream Barbie


Peaches was a childhood favourite doll. Barbie was a great in 1984/5 and the UK was really pushing forward Barbie over Sindy and I was hooked as I was an easy influenced kid winking

I won this girl with an 1987 Sindy for 99p, she is an original Peaches too. I spotted her her a mile off so was pleased that on one did as she is quite popular due to the re-release. I have had her a while but she gets to show her face here as my friend Lori sent me her outfit. Thanks Lori happy

1987 – Jewel Secrets Barbie

This is the African American version of Jewel Secrets Barbie. I got her at a bargain price from e-bay mint in the box. I never had her as a kid and that bloody skirt/tote bag thing is just awful.
I think the AA version is cute though and she looks better out of the skirt. See Jewel Secrets Whitney for more pics.
Useless fact: Jewel Secrets Barbie is shown in the movie “Big” starring Tom Hanks

1983 – Loving You Barbie


Loving you Barbie is one of my childhood favorite dolls, and she was my sisters! She was a bit overly “hearty”. She came with a a little stamp and some heart shaped paper which I was not really interested in that much. What I love most about this Barbie is her bright red lipstick, striking eyes and of course that beautiful strawberry blonde hair.
This little lady has been residing at my sisters house for a while and became a bath doll for the kids so I decided to rescue her back to my collection and replaced her with a My First Barbie happy

1983 Twice As Nice – In and Outfitted

I havn’t updated Barbie Vs Jem for a while as I have been collecting Sindy. Whilst looking for Sindy on e-bay I found this littly lady along with a Pink & Pretty Barbie. I bid at £1.99 and won!
I couldn’t really see in the picture if she had her socks and pumps but she did so A complete fashion that I had as a kid. Barbie is also very cute and is the 1984 My First Barbie, I really liked her as a kid so it’s nice to have her back in the collection. Pink & Pretty wasn’t that Pretty so went back onto e-bay as I have her boxed!
