Barbie Dress --Grace Kelly "Rear Window"
okay, this is my Trial version--- the branches are hand painted, but they are way too big, I''ll have to make it smaller when I "put it into production" -- the production numbers are very limited, only 11 will be made. lol

Tribute to Japan?
I am not sure if its a tribute to Japan or an insult to Japanese People:

3 dolls have nothing to do with Japan, Mattel labeled them "Chinoiserie", not "Japonism" or "Japonisme,"
Americans seem to worship Japanese, but they'd never go any deeper to explore a little bit more about culture.

BArbie at FAO Schwarz
I like FAO Schwarz, so does Barbie
if you really like barbie and want everything "Barbie", you'd better get Rich:
but I guess even you had such money, its okay you live without this table, what a terrible way to torture barbie like this!
Daimonds are girls' best friends:
Barbie Shirts are more affordable, if the necklace would bankrupt you.
a Watch or a handbag is also a nice choice

Barbie at Toy Fair 2011

Posted by dollsaga on February 13, 2011
I paid a short visit to Mattel’s Booth at toy fair, not many collector Barbies but there are tons of playline dolls.
The doll I wanted to see most is the Francie Silkstone, she has a Barbie TNT face mold, not really a Francie? so I was a bit confused. but she is very pretty, she has a youthful face, wears school-girl-like outfits with white/red grid (plaid) prints. I did not ask for her retail prices.
4 Russion silkstones are on display, Verushka looks just like the Southern Belle. only the price is $115. I do not like Mila’s lower eyelashes, she looks strange. as always, the male doll isnt good looking. his outfits remind me of the Doorman in front of FAO Schwarz, NYC. Darya is another show girl, she is prettier than Mila.
There is a Museum collection I like, there are 3 dolls wearing gowns that inspired by 3 widely recognized oil paintings:
1. The Mona Lisa by Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci
the doll’s expression captured the ambiguity of Mona Lisa’s smile
2. The Starry Night by Van Gogh’s
I think the mid-night blue toned dress is pretty
3. Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt
I like the style of her fashion, but not the quality of the fabric. Knitted stretch fabric plus glittering orgaza. I guess such quality is okay if the price is under $39.99
This collection is so much better than Landmark collection –I simply want nothing from Landmark.
Tokidoki
she has the same look as the 1st “Hello Kitty”, only she has pink hair. her fashion & accessories are fun, but she has tattoos all over her body, since I have always Hated tattoos, so she is not for me.
Happy holidays 2011
this time the 2 dolls wear green/gold gown. the gown looks pretty nice, hope their prices wont go up too much
Barbie Basic 2.5
3 dolls, with Lea, Mbili & louboutin face sculpts, wearing Metalic tops and glittering jeans. since they are Basics, I dont expect they come with nice outfits. but this group has better outfits than 2.0 did. Louboutin doll has pale skin and platium blonde hair, she is quite a catch for me, the rest 2 have nothing new or special. the Accessory pack looks nice, a black satin jacket is something new for Barbie Basics.
Farrah Fawcett
doll was made based on a pin up. the doll is as ugly as these “I love Lucy” dolls, she does not come with articulated body, so her body sculpt probably will turn away some collectors who dont like her sitting posture
Couture Angel
this time a Brunette, she has a lara face, her face isnt as pretty as an angel should be. I think I like 2010 the blue couture Angel better.
Pillow Talk Giftset
I dont like the look of Doris Day (doll)’s big mouth, again I HATE the painted hair on Male dolls, so neither Doris nor Rock Hudson will come home with me.
Elvis & Frank Sinatra Barbie
nice outfits, articulated body –I bet they will be more expensive than these Pop Life & Jazz babies?!
the rest dolls are already in the store. such as Twilight, Japan, opera house….
Since I dont have a Media Pass, I didnt break their rules and take pictures, the gentleman from Haute Doll took some nice pictures, you may like to visit his flickr photo album
Playline dolls come with some very nice outfits, but I almost stopped paying attention to any playline barbies, so I cant remeber what I saw. ..

Barbie & Ken: Back Together Again
A gift set Target is promoting. the dolls are designed for little girls age 3+.
should your baby girl have a boyfriend?I dont like the idea of introducing on-off relationship or any romantic relationship to small kids at tender age unless their parents are getting divoiced.... these back-together-again, she-said-yes playline dolls distory the innosense of the little girls. they can learn these boyfriend girlfriend thing after they reach age of 17. Helping them to find their talents & interests is way more important than having a boyfriend or girlfriend. I hope Mattel wont come up a divorced Midge & Alan playline set anytime soon. but if a set of collector version, I am sure it will have a better market than the wedding day Barbie.
Since this gift set is $5.00, I dont mind getting one, of course, they broke up again as soon as they arrived at my home-- I only need the Ken doll --since Ken's brithday party is one month away, I am sure I need a couple of new ken dolls to celebrate his big 50th.

another fresh look...
another look at Ken
I really think Barbie should move onto someone new, but she wants to take another look
.... what does she see?
he does have some improvements, his neck & arms now have better movements, his head and body are now connected better , the skintones of his face & body match. ... way to go... they have changed his neck knob, but his head is just not as moveable as Barbie's .

The winter is long
we just had another snow storm yesterday, the weather wont get warmer until May. the new girls who wear halter tops and slim jeans simply cant survive in such a cold day, besides, it makes me feel chill just by looking at them, so I have them all bundled up...
a glance outside my rear window:
The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination. ~Terri Guillemets~
