  06 avril 2010 ( #Series )

  The Classic Ballet Series feature Barbie doll as Juliet (Romeo and Juliet) and Titania (A Midsummer night’s dream), both written by Shakespeare. The decor inside the box really fits the stories, that it is a pity to take the dolls out of the box. I just...

• Reem Acra Brides

  27 novembre 2010 ( #Brides )

  Here are the Reem Acra Brides, the blond and the brunette version. I've been looking for the blond version for such a long time, and luckily, a friend, Janina, told me where to find her! And now she has joined her brunette sister that I bought about 2...

• A small beauty contest

  24 avril 2010 ( #Silkstone )

  Two of the latest silkstones that I received : Trace of Lace and Highland Fling. I have a bigger crush on Trace of Lace because her dress is very sexy. She also exists with blond hair (Platinum Label) which I don’t think I could have (very expensive !)...

  27 février 2011 ( #Miscellaneous )

  This doll was released on August 14, 2008, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the first sorority for Black women. I made the right decision to buy her as soon as she was released, because although she is a pink label...

• Ayako Jones

  28 mars 2010 ( #Designer dolls )

  What happens when Barbie travels ? She might get influences from the countries she visits for her wardrobe ! I guess that’s what Byron Lars tries to portray in this new collection called the Passport Collection. Ayako (which means « beautiful child »...

• Angel 2008

  01 novembre 2010 ( #Fantasy )

  It was quite a struggle to find her, because she was sold only in Canada and I can’t just take the next plane to go there and get her ! This angel is so beautiful that I want her to sing to me : « I'll be your cloud up in the sky I'll be your shoulder...

• She is not scary, she is beautiful!

  14 février 2012 ( #Designer dolls )

  To be honest, I hate scary things. I hate reading scary books, I hate watching scary movies (what’s the point of watching a movie if you have to close your eyes most of the times?) That is why I was a bit sceptical when I heard that Mattel would produce...

• Can we call it "recycling"?

  28 octobre 2012 ( #Series )

  I just bought a Barbie doll that reminds me of another Barbie doll, and I am not talking about repros. I found this Evening Enchantment doll on the Internet last week. She is from the Special Edition Evening Elegance Series, and was released in 1997 for...

• Excuse me, where is the toilet?

  17 décembre 2012 ( #Miscellaneous )

  I had a problem with one of the dolls I bought today, but fortunately, not everything was a disaster. I received another package which I'm very happy with: Sindy's bathroom! There are her toilet, her bath, and her washbasin unit, and they all came in...

• The Heads of Fashionistas Swappin' Styles

  11 février 2011 ( #Playlines )

  After the end of the era of the Fashion Fever in tubes, I stopped buying Playlines… until the Fashionistas dolls were released ! They have 12 points of articulations and can do many poses. That makes no difference to me since I don’t debox, but I still...

• Welcome to India

  04 novembre 2012 ( #DOTW )

  I must admit that India must be my favorite of all the dolls in the DOTW series. After Princess of India and Diwali, an Indian doll is also a part of this year's DOTW Passport Collection. She wears a yellow sari and is accompanied by a monkey on her right...

  There aren't that many collectible Tommy dolls, and I can't understand why. Because when I look at this giftset that I received this week, they are so cute! Here is the Tommy Doll as Elvis Giftset. It was designed by Sharon Zuckerman and released on 12/1/2003....

• The truth is out there...

  08 septembre 2012 ( #Fantasy )

  Do you believe that there is life on other planets? If there is, do you think that the aliens will try to attack us? Has it ever crossed your mind that they are actually friendly, beautiful and fashionable? Eventhough she still reminds me a bit of lizards,...

• Cleopatra

  09 janvier 2011 ( #Fantasy )

  Here is the latest doll from the Fantasy Barbie collection, Cleopatra. She was sold out in a very short time, and now her price has doubled or even tripled. Why ? I have no idea. Maybe because many people admire her for being one of the only female Pharaohs...
