Barbie Girl
Up until this past Christmas, I hadn't really paid much attention to Barbie since I was a kid. She's changed. I remember hearing about it in the news or in a magazine that her dimensions were changing to be more... hmm... natural. The older, pre-1999 Barbie's have a triangular torso - large shoulders and bust, itty-bitty waist. Barbie's made after 1999 look human. They even have a belly button! My only complaint is that the older Barbie could swivel at the torso and she can't anymore. My faves though, are the Swappin-Style Fashionista Barbies. They are completely jointed so posing them is incredibly easy. You can even pop off their head and switch it for a completely different one! What is your favorite Barbie?

I had no idea Barbie was getting plastic surgery done ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, my mom used to sew clothing for my dolls and Barbies, and my grandma knit little pieces for their wardrobes too.
I started sewing at a very young age... first bedding for my dollhouse, then simple things like boxer shorts and tank tops. Now I can't stop creating!
Your work is AWESOME!!
Thanks Fox! I took a brief hiatus when I was in college and then when I was working outside of the home. But I became a stay-at-home this past October and was able to get crafty again! I'd forgotten how much I love it. And now, like you, I just can't stop!
