#barbie style fashion pack

[alldollsarevalid]

Blake has decided to model the outfit. I did have to use a hat pin to get the hat to stay on. Otherwise it popped right off her head

[dat2ndaccount97]

So over the weekend I FINALLY opened up the rest of that 80s-90s New in Box Barbie stuff I thrifted last year, starting with the remaining Fashion Packs. Didn't take any out of box photos as I just wanted to get everything unpackaged first and foremost so I can finally have that closet space back.

Has anyone talked about style contest entries yet?

Does anyone want to win a style contest? That's easy, you just need to follow these steps:

Make sure to use butterflies no matter what. Even if the theme is "Funeral", just put some gray-ish butterflies and you're all set to be the most fashion icon in the whole church 😔🙏

The same goes for fairy wings. Are you going for the "Black cat" theme? All good, you can pretend to be the fairy furry-cat princess with your shiny black butterfly wings! Are you an "Animal shelter" participant? That's fine, you can be the fairy queen treating her animals with love and magic! Are you going to work? I got ya babe, just pretend to be the fairy business bitch, and make sure you hold that coffee cup to show you are a strong independent fairy boss😉You don't get the theme? It's fine, just roll in your closet and put on the most random shit ever. Be like this animal shelter Patch Adams!

What do you mean? Isn't the animal shelter the same as the cancer treatment unit?

3. Wear black and red. We like what we can't see. Put on everything black you own for a better result. Remember to hold a sword in your hand 'cause everything is fairy after all.

4. Is the theme "Shadow"? Put on a black face mask so you can be as racist as can be. Black face is so funny right?

5. Did you recently get the e-girl pack? Use it on everything you do! No matter if it has nothing to do with the theme, everyone likes those clothes so you're guaranteed to get votes. Work smart not hard.

6. No black in your closet? That's all good, you can choose to dress like a cupcake forever. Cute and pink just like everyone's favorite movie Barbie!

And that's it! If you followed this guide, this will be the result you'll see. An identical podium, 'cause people are brainwashed and vote for the same thing. Hive mind!

Hail to my creative queens, way to go!! Podiums are always so diverse! This is just a random example, no hating on the winners. Shame on who is voting.

Do you know that winning 5 APs for guessing the most expensive outfit is not worth anyways? Seriously, vote for what you like, not for what is supposed to be liked. Don't vote for your friends. Nobody thinks you're better if you win a style contest, so give an opportunity to those who deserve to win.

Everyone is tired to see those wings outside specific fairy themed contests. You're not cooler if you dress black or have butterflies flying around you as if you're some huge shit.

We all want to see an actual beautiful podium just like it happened months ago. Put some effort if you're voting dammit.

A gimmick in toys that feels particularly 90s to me, even though I have no evidence to suggest whether it actually was more popular in the 90s, is being scented. Especially artificial fruit scents that smell more like colours than fruit.

I'll be honest - this post was partly inspired by a Reddit post I read a while ago and kind of can't stop thinking about, where someone found a 1993 Paint n Dazzle Barbie that was mysteriously grape-scented and they weren't sure if this was intentional.

(There's also a whole other post in Paint n Dazzle Barbie and other customizable dolls of that ilk - but right now I'm thinking about scents.)

When I think of scented Barbies, my mind goes immediately to my buddy Blaine and the rest of the Cali Girls line, who were sunscreen scented.

But naturally, this wasn't the only one. Back in the 1980s, when Barbie still hung around with PJ, there was a rose-scented PJ.

Remarkable to me specifically because you don't get a lot of rose-scented children's toys.

Mixing the two conceptually was Tropical Splash Barbie from 1994 - like the 2000s Cali Girl line she is a beachy fun Barbie, but like Sweet Roses PJ she is floral scented.

Sweet N Pretty were a series of fashion packs from 1994 featuring a variety of different outfits in either peppermint or tutti fruitti scents.

(It took me three tries to spell tutti fruitti, and I was looking at a picture of the product in question.)

The 1998 Fruit Fantasy Barbies lean more into what I think of as the classic fruity flavours.

But I think Fruit Style Barbie and her friends from 2002 really round up the gang. I can practically smell the fruity scents and I don't own one.

Finally folded and got a Barbie membership because the pink Gala premier doll is irresistible. Finally happy to see some very "Barbie" Barbaras out there, since we have had a plague of Basic Boring Bland™ Barbies for so, so long. I get that they were trying to make Barbie more "relatable" after Lammilly came out, but it got so stale and boring for so long.

I haven't really bothered with like, 99.99% of Barbie fashionistas, but I appreciate this new one that's coming out a lot. I would have preferred the closed mouth Millie sculpt but she's cute.

It seems with Barbie Extra getting phased out we're also getting Barbie Deluxe Style which I think looks like a pretty good release - so far, anyways.

I can definitely see myself getting #2 (with the prosthetic leg) and #4 (with the braids). I think their faces are really cute and I like their outfits. #1 I think would have benefitted from open-hand gloves like the Gala doll and I would have definitely switched a few other things around and #2 is a Millie with a closed mouth so I already like her more for that, but I don't think the clunky necklace with a babydoll dress and short sleeve top looks very cohesive... I might still get her, but I wish they went with a heart pendant, dropped the dress' waistline down, and have her long sleeves if not ditching the shirt altogether. I like the pantyhose and shoes, though. If I get her, I might put her into the "Barbiecore," "Tenniscore," or "Spring Date" Barbiestyle fashion packs, though.

There's also this stunning delight that's went for preorder recently, too.

I changed positions at work and went from salaried or hourly so I think I might preorder her once my paycheck for my new position kicks in. I think $75 is a bit pricy for her but I do really, really like her. She seems more like a $50 release but Mattel loves gouging out our pockets.

Another slow day, so I'll just share these girls since they had a little trip to the dolly spa this morning. Ah, Liv Dolls.... I wish I loved them more than I do. Always thought they had a cool concept, but the execution never quite hit for me. Once again I only ended up with a representative sample of two in my collection (this will become a recurring theme XD). We've got Alexis from the first wave in 2009, wearing a later fashion pack and wig; and Katie as the Mad Hatter, from the Target-exclusive Alice in Wonderland line released in 2011. Including a 'Sassy' Swappin' Styles Fashionistas Barbie, also from 2011, as it's very possible I purchased her and Katie at the same time, for the aesthetic ;p I used to display these two with my small collection of Ever After High dolls; the proliferation of tiny useless hats in the doll space during the early 2010s amused me greatly.

No promises, but if all goes to plan tomorrow I may break out the Mysticats. Stay tuned.

Punk Skunk Girl and Punk Cat Boy doll set finished Sat. Nov. 16 2024 with pictures—took forever, finally done

I was really pleased with how these anthropomorphic cat boy and skunk girl dolls turned out. The heads (with original hairstyles) came from the 2020s MGA LOL OMG Hair Hair Hair pets line, which were all music-themed. The bodies came from Tomy(?) posable artist figures from AliExpress. I made most of their clothes (with contributions from toy companies MGA, Zuru, and Mattel), and I made all of their rock and rock accessories.

The tiny, male and female, black vinyl hinged and ball socket artist figure bodies caused many delays in finishing these this year, as the joints would break when they were moved. I had to use a combination of superglue with water putty powder, and sometimes black felt and super glue to stabilize and repair breaks. (Then I’d seal, paint black, seal, and repeat the steps when the joints inevitably broke again.) But there was nothing else available for doll bodies in black in this scale.

I made his black jeans, his black mesh top, her red sweater, her stretchy black tights, and her skirt from scratch from old jeans, an unused Forever 21 clearance cocktail dress, black scraps, and a new holiday-themed sock. His gold tone belt buckle is a tiny piece broken off of some bit of doll accessory or doll jewelry (likely Mattel Barbie). The printed top layer of her skirt was made by gathering the long printed satin care instructions in multiple languages from the dress tag.

His clear neon green “studded” vest came in a handful of MGA LOL OMG doll clothes and accessories bought at this spring’s Port Costa town-wide yard sale (studs had to be reglued, as they shed off the vinyl). His black cotton jacket and her black, red, and silver sleeveless top came from a new set of MGA Little Bratz clothes bought years ago. (The top came with “punk” printed in red on the fabric and the faux silver zipper trim.) Her boots were bought this year with a Barbie Extra Mini doll (which I bought primarily for parts) and painted black and sealed with Testor’s sealant.

His black Doc Marten-style boots (with real laces and tongue) and her black polka dotted bow came from this year’s Zuru Mini Fashion series 3 surprise ball pack. (A high quality detailed series of miniatures—I bought only the 2023-2024 series that came with fashion doll shoes.)

I made his neon green “studded” wrist bands from cheap plastic tube beads from Michael’s and painted the studs on with textured silver fabric paint (sealed with Testor’s Dullcote before and after), which is how I made the “studded” red band in her hair.

The parts of the outfits I was most pleased with are their 1980s rock band buttons and emblems. I printed out images from the original band merchandise online on our injet printer, then affixed them to either white thumb tacks, white card paper, or off-white felt with Mod Podge, then I sealed them with Mod Podge 3D “dimensional” clear coating.

His Oingo Boingo square green album button (with cat and Christmas graphic) is from “Nothing to Fear.” (I bent a wire into a square to be a “pin back” attachment glued to the card backing in this button.) His jacket patch (attached to his jacket with a rougher punk DIY style of stitching) is from the first EP “Oingo Boingo,” featuring the Louis Wain cat. Her yellow, pink, and orange Oingo Boingo Louis Wain cat button is supposedly the first button from the first EP.

I used the same method to create her Dead Milkman cow logo button, but I used a rubbery earring packaging plug (which comes on the ends of new earring wires) to affix it to the lapel, instead bending the thumb tack stem back with needle nose pliers, as I did with the other buttons. On her blouse collar’s lapel is a Siouxie and the Banshees band button with a portrait of the lead singer. Some of the ink came off in the glueing, so I carefully filled in the missing bits with a black felt tip pen before sealing.

Saturday morning, I photographed the pair posing together and dancing (including tgeir doing the Pogo) on our white brick mantel in the living room, with the natural light supplemented by a clip-on halo light (attached to my iPhone 13) and my flexible bedroom lamp twisted up from under my arm.

I enjoyed putting these together. It was a similar creative process as when, a few years ago, I repaired and made over some damaged old Sunshine Family dolls into 1980s teens and 1990s Seattle grunge skater kids. I think the pink and black mohawk on the MGA cat head gave me the impetus for this pair.

Behind the Scenes: Rumiko Takahashi

This idea bounced around in my head for a while, and I finally decided to take the plunge!

Not only is Rumiko Takahashi the creator of my favorite manga/anime, Inuyasha, which introduced me to the entire genre and sparked my interest in all things Japan, she's the best selling female comic artist in history. And since I'd made custom dolls of so many of her characters, I thought she was worthy of a doll of her own. Plus, when I heard of her honor of being named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in France - the only female mangaka to receive the honor - it just sparked inspiration.

First up was finding a doll to use as a candidate. I'd considered using the Happy Family Grandma doll because she already has the aged look, and her hair was a pretty similar style already (though it would need to be colored, if not rerooted), but she didn't have the Asian eyes:

I have several Asian dolls, but they all just looked like regular Barbies. Fine, but not quite what I was going for.

Then the live action Little Mermaid movie dropped, and the only good thing to come out of that was this doll - she was my candidate.

I'd been saving those glasses (they came with a fashion pack, I think a Jurassic World one), and upon putting them on the doll's face, I thought they were perfect. Plus this doll looked more like an actual person than a regular Barbie doll. And she already had the black hair! Yes!

Next up was choosing a body. I knew a curvy body would be fitting for Rumiko, and the Inspiring Women dolls have either Made to Move bodies (but that's mostly for the athletes) or bodies with articulation at the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and knee. I opted for the latter. I had some Barbie Extra dolls saved, so I started comparing skin tones. These two were the closest:

I picked one, and once the head was on the body, it looked way off in person... so then I put it on the other body and that looked much better. It looks off on camera, but thanks to Photoshop magic, no one will know that LOL. It's a much better match in person.

Next was the outfit. I knew if I couldn't get an outfit made, this entire ordeal would be for nothing. And you wouldn't believe how difficult it was finding a full body shot of Rumiko! All her interviews and profile stories and what not, they only seem to show her from the waist up. But I did manage to find this one:

That was the ribbon cutting ceremony during the 30th anniversary of Rumic World, back in 2008. Not a recent photo, but something. But I was hoping to get an outfit based on this one because it's what she wore when receiving her most recent honor (the aforementioned knighthood):

I don't know how, but somehow I managed to find that picture, which showed her legs LOL. I don't know what shoes she was wearing with that outfit, so I went with the ones in the previous one. The shoes in question came from a random curvy Fashionista - they were orange and I painted them a more neutral color to match the source photo.

Then I had another conundrum - I couldn't decide which outfit I liked better!!! Fortunately, my seamstress (Molita's World), was kind enough to make both!

The next step was the face. While I didn't use the Happy Family Grandma to create this doll, I did use her as a guide. I needed to make the doll look older, and Grandma has painted age lines on her face. So I kind of went off those - after finding a hopefully good color that looks natural and not like random makeup - to create the face. I also used acetone and a toothpick to remove the heavy pink eyeshadow to give her a more natural look.

Next up was the hair. Since the doll already had the right hair color, all I had to do was cut and style it appropriately. I think I managed to pull it off quite well, if I do say so myself:

(The plastic wrap around the face is meant to keep the hair shape)

The outfits didn't take long to complete and arrive, so I got her dressed and started on the props. All the Inspiring Women dolls come with a prop, and I knew what I wanted this doll to have - her special Colors book that was set to release in December 2023 commemorating her 45 years as a mangaka. But something happened and that particular book was postponed, then renamed Colors 1978-2024 (rather than Colors 1978-2023) and released this past March. So I had to wait for that to release, and then I had to wait to find good pictures of the front, back, and spine so I could put it together, scale it down, print it out, and make a book out of it LOL.

While I was waiting on that, I thought it would be a cool idea to have some of her sketches with her. Plus I had an extra first volume Inuyasha manga from when I made the series for ani-ME, so I threw that in there too. There was another book released for Rumic World's 35th anniversary, so I thought it would be a cool idea to make it like a folder that her real sketches could go inside. So I managed to find some decent photos of the front, back, and spine of that book, then I created a pocket for it, then I found a bunch of Rumiko's sketches from various series, sized them to fit inside the book, then printed them out. So the sketches she comes with are real ones she's drawn, and they fit right inside one of her books!

I wasn't going to make a box for her, since I don't keep my dolls in boxes, but I had a spare one and thought I could use it as a template to create one. So I gathered photos of actual Inspiring Women boxes (I could have used the latest one, Kristi Yamaguchi, because that's probably the newest design and Kristi, like Rumiko, is an Inspiring Woman who's still alive whereas the others have passed, but I like the original style better), created a template, and made my own box. Fun fact - the box was made but not printed. So the doll's pose and everything in the box is all digitally edited LOL.

I created it all from scratch - I looked up fonts, found Barbie logos, made all the name boxes, etc. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks considering it's not a real box lol. I did the same thing for the back, and I even made a design for each side of the box:

And with that, the doll was done! I think the most time-consuming part of this one was the props. I printed a TON of those little sketches because I wasn't sure how many would fit in the book, and then I had to remind myself to use more than just Inuyasha because she did create several other series LOL. But overall, I'm pleased with her and she's now displayed in my cabinet! Thanks for reading!

Hairmazing fashion pack try on. I chose this particular pack because you get three separate pieces and the material looked like it had some give or a little stretch.

First up is Venus.

It is definitely too big but you can make it work if you want. The jacket is probably the piece that fit her best.

Here it is on a rainbow high doll.

The skirt is a pretty good fit. The shirt is too big but since it ties around the neck you can adjust it for a better fit.

Here's the jacket. Sleeves are a little long.

Really cute on a curvy barbie. The skirt sits a little high waisted. Could not get the jacket on her.

On a classic mtm barbie. The top and skirt fit fine. The jacket is too tight.

The shoes fit on both the classic and curvy barbie.

They're big but look like some lady gaga style platforms. I kind of like them.

The shoes would not go on Venus or Sunny at all.

Overall, I think it's a cute pack for 3.97.

[dollsorwhatever]

Finished up my Doctor Barbie/Quick Curl Barbie repro redress!!!

Pretty simple custom, she's wearing the 1979 Wedding Party fashion with some additions; yellow ribbon belt and choker with added daisies and seed beads, yellow shoes (also with added daisies- it was a huge bitch to sew them into the plastic shoe lol) and a full hair restyle, complete with daisy in her hair! So basically I just covered her with flowers and called it a custom but I'm proud of her anyway lol I've always been in love with the very heavy Edwardian influence in some 70's fashions, especially the trend of lingerie dress-inspired wedding gowns a la Laura Ashley, and once I styled Barbie's hair I knew she would be the perfect candidate for this kind of outfit! I've named her Edwardian Springtime Barbie and I think she'd be a kind of proto-Angel Face Barbie if she had been released in the 70's like this, or perhaps this would've made a nice Quick Curl fashion pack lol Alternative names could be: -Mary Lennox's Dead Aunt Barbie -Mary Poppins Gets a Girlfriend Barbie -and Phyllis Schlafly: Time Traveler Barbie (lol) Considering I have had this doll sitting on a shelf for over a year with no clothes and unstyled hair, I'm glad I could actually turn her into something and focus on dolls I already own instead of just...buying another one and ignoring the rest of my collection lol

How the Batch responds to someone who denigrates the color pink in front of them

And God forbid if this happens when Omega is figuring out her personal style, preferences, and fashion sense.

The Batch would certainly not ascribe to the belief that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. They make it their personal mission to prove that that’s nonsense.

Hunter

Guess who found pink-handled knives? And guess who will always at least two strapped to his belt at all times?

Rambo Barbie over here has traded out his usual bandana for a bright pink one. He’s wearing it with absolute and complete unfazed confidence. Giggle about it at your own risk and peril.

Just in case the knives and bandana were a little too subtle, he makes a point of wearing pink (possibly flannel) shirts regularly. Said shirts run the full spectrum of pink, but that’s fine. He thinks he looks good in the color.

He will absolutely look anyone who goes off about the pink/blue gendered thing dead in the eye and just go, “No.” That usually stops the BS in its tracks.

Crosshair

This man knows he looks good in black. That doesn’t stop him from having pink be his new go-to highlight color. All of the little accessories and details on his armor and helmet are now a lovely share of pink.

When his hair starts coming back in, he starts coloring to a nice light pink (blush) color. Just don’t mistake the pink hair for friendliness though. He’s still a snarky bastard.

His Firepuncher gets a makeover too. Crosshair enjoys taking people out with a neon pink sniper rifle. (It sets a very specific, very petty tone — and he’s here for it.)

He will also intentionally be a little shit and set people up to get verbally knocked down a peg or three. Tech has roughly five versions of the same speech about how assigned gendering colors is an outdated concept. Crosshair is going to do his twin a solid and let him loose on idiots. (He enjoys watching the chaos and panic that unfolds.)

Tech

Like I said, he will give a full lecture about the fallacy of “Pink is for girls, and blue is for boys.” Oh, did you want to see slides to go along with that? Here, he’s got those too.

Tech shows up with pink-framed goggles, a pink-cased data pad, and pink embroidery on all his pockets and pouches within 24 hours. For him, fashion is functional first, but it can also be fun and make a statement.

Did you say give the Marauder a new paint job? Why yes, it is time that it got a new look. Thank you so much for suggesting that. (And yes, Wrecker helped with the paint job and redesign. They both did such a good job.)

Tech also knows how to recalibrate his blasters so that his blaster bolts and stun rays are pink. He can show you how he did, if you ask him nicely.

Wrecker

This man comes in one setting — loud and enthusiastic support. And the best way to do that? Head-to-toe neon pink At All Times. (Seriously, this man shows up with completely pink armor and a helmet and just continues to do his normal job without commenting on his new paint job.)

Lula gets a wardrobe upgrade too. She’s now for a very cool pink jacket that Wrecker made for her himself.

Wrecker will loudly and eagerly proclaim that pink is his absolute favorite color anytime he hears a person talking shit about the color. He isn’t putting on a front either. He does love the color pink.

Guess who has pink smoke grenades and pink glitter bombs in his pack at all time? Wrecker. Why? Well, why not!?!?!

Echo

Bright pink kama for life! No, he will accept no questions or suggestions to the otherwise. His kama is pink, and he looks fabulous.

Echo may be a part of the Bad Batch now, but he was part of the 501st and Domino Squad before that. If you give him just the slightest scrap of an idea, he’ll run with it in a way that would make Fives proud . . . which is why so many people wind up covered in a violently pink glitter-and-glue mixture when they say stupid shit. (Wrecker may have helped.)

He gets Tech to upgrade his scomp to be metallic pink.

Grumpy Disappointed Mom Face gets deployed with great effect. Echo isn’t mad that you’re spouting nonsense. He had just hoped you didn’t buy into the nonsense that only girls can like pink.

Omega

Omega colors the tips of her hair to be bright pink. It’s actually a whole family project, especially in deciding which shade of pink would look best on her. She also used this as an opportunity to try some new hair styles to show off her color makeover.

She also got Tech to readjust her bow so that it too fires pink bolts. (They’re gleeful menaces on the battlefield together.)

Leaning into pink helps Omega connect with her femininity. For as much as she loves her brothers, that’s one area where they aren’t the best role models (even if they fully support her during this journey). She is the one who helped her brothers incorporate pink into their current wardrobe.

Omega also learns how to give manicures. The only polish choice anyone she gives one to gets to make is whether or not they want glitter. Everyone is going to be rocking pink nails when she gives them a manicure. (The Batch are very diligent and serious about maintaining their manicures.)

Guys I just remember I got scarlet and Oliver for Christmas and never postedthe pics

Sorry

so anyway here they are I restyled them because I loved the dolls but not the fashion styles they came with

the only thing I did with Oliver‘s hair was un braided and give it a cold water wash Oliver is wearing his own tennis shoes, fins shorts and glasses, and the shirt is from a Barbie Cali girl Blaine doll, 

Scarlet’s hair was a much bigger problem. It was so gelled, but I washed it with hot water and soap before I shampooed and conditioned it looks a lot nicer and feels a lot nicer now but I think it still might need a second wash Scarlet is mostly wearing clothing from Delilah but the pants are a from Barbie inspired by Roxy  fashion pack
