Spiegel Summer Sophisticate # 15591 1996

I have to admit I am a little disappointed in this doll

and wasn't sure I was going to keep her.

I do not like her skintone, it's very pinkish.  I don't

know what face sculpt this is but it's very blah. She

looks kind of stuffy or matronly to me.

The dress and jacket are kinda cute and retro but that

flower pin and hat may have to go.  Her shoes were

very cheap mules, they barely stay on, though they

are a pretty pearlized pink, I would have preferred a

pair of pumps. The purse is , eh, ok.

But I have decided to keep her and she is now Sylvia.

She has earned a spot in my little dolldom.

HOT....Sparkle Girlz Outfits

There have been a lot of new Sparkle Girlz outfits

available at Walmart recently.  The outfits are

really hot and look great on the girls!

Kimberly and Kaelyn look fabulous in these leggings

with cute peplum tops.

Alexa and Quinn are ready for date night in these lovely frocks.

Eden and Nikki are ready for a night of dancing in these

sensational outfits.

Mod Hair Ken # 4224 1973-76

I kinda got a thing for Ken's with rooted hair.  This is

Dave.  Reminds me of the Cheech and Chong skit 'Waiting

for Dave'......!

I got this guy on eBay for a pretty good price.  This is

how he came, needs a bath and his eyebrows touched

up, but that's about it.  I figure I can make him a brown

checked jacket and brown slacks like his original togs.

His chest is not discolored, just a shadow.  I think he

will fit in nicely with my hippie girls, Free & PJ.

Texas A & M Ken 2012

# X9207 aka Lucas

# X9208 aka Jonah

I got these boys late last year when Walmart had them

on sale for $10 each.  I just got around to deboxing

them.  

They both look kinda pissed off to me.....maybe they

don't like the white jumpsuits.

Anyway, I think they will make nice arm candy for my model 

muse gals......once they get some new clothes.

Daria and Mary Elizabeth

Aren't they cute?  Daria and Mary Elizabeth are also

raiding their big sis's closet.  These are 2 of the fashion

single paks from Mattel. These actually fit them a little

better than the Sparkle Girl (not as short).  But the 

Sparkle Girls has such a larger variety.  I am hoping

Mattel comes out with more.

Daria shines in this yellow halter dress with cute little

white collar, adorable!  This is my favorite Skipper doll

(Phone Fun), she just looks so happy.

Mary Elizabeth looks grown up and stylish in this 

purple sheath.  It's funny, this doll has articulated 

arms, yet when I try to pose her she looks stiff and

awkward while Daria looks.....well, cute.  Go figure.

Anyway, the girls have been having fun trying to find

clothes that fit them and look stylish.  At least now 

they have a few more optins.

Star Skater Christie # 25789 2000

I have been looking to add a doll with the Asha face

mold to my collection for awhile.  I found this Walmart

doll on eBay.  I liked her hairstyle and she was reasonable.

This is Lydia Lundin.

I think she is very pretty and even though I did't buy

her because she was a skater I think her outfit is

prettier than the one on the Jewel Skater doll.

Now I'm thinking I need to have a skate-off!

Jewel Skating Barbie #23239 1999

I got this doll in a lot of NRFB. dolls. She has the Mackie 

face so I decided to keep her.

This is Oksanna.

Splash n' Color Ken #16170 1996

I've been collecting a few Kens from different eras to

go with my Ladies.  He's pretty good looking and

his hair changes color when it gets wet (I haven't tried

it yet).  This is Brian.

He does have beautiful blue eyes.  I'm thinking the Ladies

might like him!
