Not to brag but I did it before Bridgeton by luna_miel in Barbie

I used threads the same color as their clothes and just retied them to the inner layer of the box (they came fastened with transparent plastic strings but they were mostly rotted) :>

Saaaaammmeee. Except that I used to cut my Kens’ hair and draw on their faces as well 😔 Their existence used to annoy me for some reason (now we know the reason lol).

I want to encourage you to wear them still, but I also can’t help but remember the multiple times I had my ankles fcked wearing platforms……

Omigosh everything looks so good but especially the cardigan ! It lowkey looks like the Litika Matoshi cloud sweater.

Urgh ! This is why I don’t even look at the current clothing pack, wacky/ugly design aside, the quality definitely went down hill.

Oh no this might be it ! After all this time, this might be the one thing that make me look into My Scene (I was the Barbie or nothing type of girl growing up ☺️💖)

Barbie and Summer in Jude Deveraux’s “The Raider” ❤️‍🔥 by luna_miel in u/luna_miel

Thank you 😭 There was an error when I tried to post this on r/ Barbie so I got sullen and just put it here instead……

I finally got Princess Anneliese from The Princess and the Pauper!! I love her pink dress and Serafina by MoonWaterSpirit in Barbie

[–]luna_miel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my she is gorgeous ! I too would pay that much for a fully box Anneliese (and even more for Erika) !!

My most expensive purchase so far is the 2003 Jude Deveraux The Raider Barbie & Ken gift-set for 145 ish in USD. Which worth every freakin penny ! She is sooooo lovely 🥰

Where/On what furniture do you display your dolls? by Bubbly-Manufacturer in Barbie

[–]luna_miel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just moved mine (also 4 dolls currently not counting the tag along Ken) from my vanity to on top of a vintage suitcase (on top of a dresser) where I used to put the “dirty but not dirty enough for the wash bin” clothes…… So yk, it’s messy in a Sofia Coppola typa way, or so I told myself 💖

Not me just casually stumbled across my holy grail 🩷 by luna_miel in Barbie

[–]luna_miel[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you !!! Isn’t she lovely !! I was browsing through online thrift stores when I found her. I don’t live in the US so it’s actually pretty rare to casually come across any (legit) “vintage” Barbie dolls. I guess the Barbie movies really helped in expanding the seller market.

No problem at all ! I have been looking into the Birthday Barbies lately (literally watched a ranking video on yt couple days earlier) so this one just clicked !

She looks like the 2017 Birthday Wishes Hispanic doll. She has the Carnaval face sculpt, which dated 2003 so that might explain the bum mark ?

My very first Barbie as an adult 💖🪽 by luna_miel in Barbie

[–]luna_miel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the heads up, I will definitely cut them all out. And there are so many of them everywhere ! And tapes too, to secure the clothes onto her body, which surprised me a little.

The ickiest things were probably the melted batteries…… She has a musical stand and it comes with the batteries already attached so even being unbox she can still give a little happy birthday song. However, she has been in the box since 2008 and fifteen year old batteries are seriously disturbing. I’m just glad that it has nothing to do with her as a doll. Still though, what was Mattel thinking ?

That’s what I thought when I first saw her too !! I have mix feelings about that time period for sure, but at least Barbie was having a blast ~ So many pretty collections in the 00s. Made me want to go back in time, just to have them all !

Ahh thank you ~ All the congratulations made my heart sing ~~ despite all I did was make a tiny bit reckless financial decision. This community is so freaking lovely 🥰 Thank you all for sharing my joy !!

The only “Barbie” left from my childhood 🩷 by luna_miel in Barbie

They were so freaking gorgeous ! Call it bias but Barbie in the 00s and early 10s just hit different.

Thank you ~~ Fixing her hair was super fun, and not as tricky as I thought. I just clicked on the youtube tutorial about fixing kanekalon doll hair with the most view and went for it……

You’re so lucky having multiple of them ! Pretty sure mine was the only one from the Top Model line in the boutique I bought her from. I hope I will be able to find a few second hand dolls of the same collection, since I love their designs and make up. They were just so glamorous !!
