Before Barbie's younger sister Stacie was ever introduced to the doll line, Barbie had a friend with a remarkably similar name - so similar, that Google will think that you are looking for the little sister.

Stacey was a new friend of Barbie's introduced in 1968 and was one of many Barbie-line dolls of that era to capture the "mod" style. Fittingly, Stacey's official backstory is that she is from England - making her, I believe, the first character in the Barbie doll line who did not herald from North America. This is widely attributed to being because of the British Invasion, making a British friend of Barbie highly sought after.

You can see in the commercial for the Talking Stacey that she also spoke with an English accent.

Stacey had a small handful of releases across the late 60s, with a couple of iterations of Talking Stacey and Twist N Turn Stacey. There were also two Sears-exclusive giftsets for Stacey featuring additional outfits. One of these, Nite Lightning, had a reproduction release in 2006.

The only other appearance that Stacey has made was in 2018, with the release of the Mod Friends Gift Set.

This featured Barbie, Stacey and Christie. Mattel designer Bill Greening spoke at length about the authenticity of this reproduction - including the Twist N Turn torsos and the bendable legs, and a vintage-feeling hair fibre for Christie's hair.

I guess Stacey stopped appearing because she flew back home to England - and now that Barbie's little sister Stacie has become so entrenched, I doubt we'll see Stacey back any time. Maybe in another collector's edition sometime.

Lo mejor de Barbie en 2024

No podía faltar por estas fechas un resumen de lo que para mí ha marcado este 2024. No he estado muy presente por aquí pero lo importante es que he vuelto. ¿Qué destacarías tú?

¡Hola a todos! Una vez más vamos a cambiar de año juntos, ¡qué alegría! Llegados a este punto a nadie sorprende que vaya a hacer un recopilatorio de lo que a mí me parece lo mejor de 2024 en el mundo de nuestra muñeca favorita: Barbie. Las muñecas que van a aparecer a continuación únicamente lo hacen porque me gustan a mí, quizás tú pondrías otras y sería igual de válido porque serían…

Did somebody say Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear? I think somebody said Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear. Thanks to that, have these retooled The Good Place jokes:

The "powers that be" can refer to either the Theraprism staff, the Axolotl, or just. Ya know. Disney in general. Or all three! Whichever you think is funniest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "party" Bill's referring to is Weirdmageddon, of course. He was quite the ashhole to everyone back then.

Ford has probably gotten pretty good at the 'tune out your psychopathic ex with dank memes' challenge.

It must be very cathartic to be able to make Bill shut up whenever you want with just the press of a button. I'm sure Ford doesn't abuse this ability at all.

Oh, sure, 'Not now,' he says, before he immediately backs out of the newly-made hole in the Theraprism wall. 🙄

Don't worry, Bill doesn't get far.

also yeah i know this one doesn't have an attempted swear - i just wanted to use the joke because of the massive stink-eye involved in it because it makes me laugh

⬇️ More goofs beneath the brief ramble if you wanna skip it lmao⬇️

Why is Ford even there, you might ask? Well, he either decided he preferred to watch Bill suffer in person over being distantly and repeatedly harassed with the same evil desperation book for the rest of his life, or he got roped into some kind of contrived community service for 1.) all his many counts of interdimensional thievery, and 2.) his ignoring all the very clear warnings to NOT summon Bill in the first place (which I like to imagine is also illegal). Theraprism staff were just like, 'Wait, this guy matters to Bill? Ooh, we can USE that! It might be the only thing that can help him want to get better!' It is not considered that throwing Ford at Bill so soon after Weirdmageddon could instead make them both WORSE - in new and altogether special ways! :D

Anyway, I'm calling it the Community Service AU, and I am most likely not going to do anything else with it beyond appropriating these silly Good Place jokes. So, feel free to adopt the concept if y'all wanna??? Just make sure that Bill is still not allowed to swear, no matter what, full stop. It's gotta be a real linguistic corkblork of a situation for him, is all I'm sayin'.

Finally, have these bonus Good Place jokes, but with Handyman!Bill this time:

'Opposite tortures' doesn't sound so bad...at least until it's an all-powerful chaos entity known for torture saying it.

you may think i forgot mabel's cute pink cheeks but the truth is that i did in fact forget but then immediately stopped caring which makes it okay, SHHHHHHH

And, finally:

lmao this is shit

True facts, if you cram Season 1 Eleanor Shellstrop and Michael into a singular triangle shape, they turn into Bill Cipher. This is science, look it up. Or don't, and just trust the source that is me, bro.

Anyway, I should be in bed, y'all have fun with these, I guess. Tune in after like a week or so and maybe I'll have an addendum to my comic about how Bill was drawn naked for karaoke night. Because him actually being naked was not the only thing I considered as a plausible explanation. XD

Also if you see any inconsistencies or errors in any of these comics, No You Do Not :D

Also also, reblogs are rad as hell and I appreciate every single one, just don't repost, please and thanks. Every time a repost is made, an artist somewhere cries. :,)

Whenever I say no more Barbie, there comes a doll that blows me away.

This Barbie Looks doll was not my fave in promo pictures.

I merely got her because the other one I wanted was not available but I don’t regret getting her.

There’s something about her face paint that is giving me early 2000’s Barbie.

Bill Greening is really serving with these dolls imo.

Makes me want to get more of them.

I think that I've only drawn Ford like. 3 times in my entire life. so here's some Fordsy (and some Fiddsy. and a Bill I guess)

[image description: a page of drawings of ford, mcgucket, and bill cipher from gravity falls. near the top are two portraits of ford, one in the gravity falls style and the other in a more realistic style. next to that is a simple doodle of ford and mcgucket smiling and embracing with the caption "old man yaoi!" beneath them. in the bottom left is a simple drawing of a younger ford, and next to that is a drawing of bill with a speech bubble saying "i'm here too! also i'm hatless for spacing reasons". next to that is bill's hat, as well as mcgucket in an orange and brown 70s-style outfit and a braided beard, and he is sitting on the ground, lost in thought. end id]

The Haunted Beauty collection is a Barbie series which is technically not Halloween themed, but might as well be. Released from 2012 - 2015, they were a series of collectors edition dolls designed by Bill Greening.

Starting off the series was Haunted Beauty Ghost Barbie. In addition to her long gown, she is also wrapped in chains, evoking the spirit of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol. And presumably other ghosts, but when I think of ghosts in chains, that's where my mind goes.

Next up was Haunted Beauty Vampire Barbie. I like her a little less; her gown is beautiful and possible more intricate, but I find her face design and hair a little lackluster. She's not bad, but she doesn't rise to the level of the other dolls in the collection.

Haunted Beauty Mistress of the Manor Barbie is definitely one of my favourites from the collection. I love the inclusion of the book and candlesticks; I love the sinister vibes... and I love that she has a matching, non-spooky manor doll.

In a one of a kind doll also created by Bill Greening, Tea at the Manor Barbie is what Mistress of the Manor looked like before she became a Haunted Beauty.

Finally the series capped off with Haunted Beauty Zombie Bride Barbie, a Barbie bride with a sickly skin tone and red-dipped white roses in her bouquet. She is easily my second favourite in the collection, extremely closely behind Mistress of the Manor.
