#gold label barbie

[barbielore]

The Chapeaux Collection by Byron Lars was a Gold Label Barbie collectors edition series from the mid 2000s. The design of the dolls was great, but frankly, I'm a sucker for interesting package and display design and that's why this collection really caught my eye.

Pictured above is Pepper, the third doll in the collection. In addition to her black coat, she has a fabulous black boater hat to complete the ensemble. But what really delights me is that they are in HAT BOXES.

It's difficult of course to pick a favourite of the series, because they're all very visually striking.

Coco, for example, comes with a hat pin as long as her arm and there's not much more of a statement than that.

But I think Sugar is my favourite, and I can't quite put my finger on why.

She's just really delightful.

Incidentally: as of now, Wikipedia puts Byron Lars' total Barbies designed at 19, but he is not a Mattel designer. As of 2024, his fashion label is In Earnest By Byron Lars, formerly Byron Lars Beauty Mark.

[nexility-sims]

have been feeling listless and unmoored re: sims stuff lately, but i got a healthy dose of inspiration from @warwickroyals & @prydainroyals this past week, so i did a little succession / magazine-ish thing :^) obviously beatriz's 2023 death would be commemorated in uspanian vogue !!!!! obviously !!!!

transcribed text below:

Fashion is a Royal (and Family) Affair

That Crown Princess Barbie is a student of Uspanian style isn’t a surprise. For this issue, she recounts the historical episode at the heart of our memorial for the late Queen Beatriz. Pictured above in private photos are: Mother Desideria in 1860; Mother Zuriñe in 1885; Mother Rowena and then-Crown Prince Alfonso in 1926.

THE “BIRDIE” ISSUE OF VOGUE USPANA debuted in 1973. At the time, the magazine was in its infancy. An issue shaped by the queen—and it was, from cover to cover, driven by her desires and presence—ensured longevity. It proved to be a bestseller. Clothes, too, flew off the racks as Uspana’s designers received a boost among popular consumers. A textiles renaissance commenced among women of a certain class who had been looking elsewhere for quality fabric. Then and now, this was the mission of the magazine: loyalty to Uspanian fashion. The Birdie issue was a testament to this, from the sensibilities it imparted to the sourcing of its materials. The queen’s favorite designers, stylists, and photographers filled the issue; it made them iconic, and they would continue to set national trends for decades to come. More importantly, the Birdie issue fit into a larger project underway during Beatriz’s reign. Foreign fashion’s creep into the Uspanian mainstream had started two centuries before Beatriz obtained the Crown, but it reached its cultural apex under the sway of her mother. Uspana’s people had long reviled Queen Rowena’s taste in one breath and wished to emulate it in the second. The two women were not seemingly opposed in a diametric sense. They overlapped under the label of “extravagant,” namely, but Beatriz was forgiven her excess. The Birdie issue, in retrospect, shows why. In an initial meeting with the queen, she told then-editor Lluc Soler that she cared deeply about a “revival” of traditional fashion in the country. Soler replied that traditional fashion was alive and well—“in the mountains, with the grandmothers.” Some in the annals have suggested that this retort led to control of the issue being ceded informally to a team with whom the queen preferred to work. (By 1975, Papan Ibarra had risen from those ranks to become the magazine’s new editor-in-chief, a position she occupied until 1991.) Nonetheless, a certain truth in Soler’s statement formed the foundation of the issue. It did draw heavy inspiration from those grandmothers in the mountains. This included people such as the queen’s own grandmother, Mother Zuriñe, who readily embraced the aesthetics of Yaas and was a master weaver in her own right. The cover reflected the elevated homage orchestrated within. On it, Birdie herself posed in a wool rebozo hand-dyed with cochineal. This garment was a perfect duplicate of the so-called suncloths the queen’s great-grandmother, Mother Desideria, wore on a regular basis in the late nineteenth century. Fittingly, it was also topped with a replica inspired by the time. One of the many jewelry pieces destroyed during the 1880s had been the Shield Flower tiara with its red fire opal set in gold and symbolic allusions to the sacrifice and self-immolation of Uspana’s founding mothers. Queen Beatriz wore tiaras on many occasions, but it was widely known that she preferred to wear the true Uspanian symbol of elite regalia: the jade necklace. For that reason, jade

[star-princess-princess]

this is completely silly high thoughts!!! gold star is dumb and outdated asf!!!

Instead of gold star lesbians being someone who hasn’t had sex with men what if these were things that made you a gold star

beginning your relationship in an iconic lesbian month ex. pride month, something from a song like falling in love in october (we fell in love in october - girl in red),

this might be oddly niche but studs, butches, and femmes (this isn’t exclusive)

all trans/queer/nonbinary lesbians (extra if t4t)

weird correspondences in your relationship ex. being polar opposite signs/sister signs like libra/aries, cancer/capricorn, or the signs right next to each other like scorpio/sagittarius, leo/virgo.

opposite aesthetics or exact same aesthetic ex. grunge/cottagecore, punk/barbie, punk/punk, or cottagecore/cottagecore

older lesbians (over 50)

if you’ve made a playlist about/for someone, i think the longer the golder the star idk 🤷🏾

if you and your partner talk in sync A LOT

if you celebrate anniversaries monthly (we try to do something sweet for each other every 23rd because we started dating Oct. 23rd)

If you proudly use the label/identity of Lesbian

In 2012, Mattel released the Hope Diamond Barbie - yes, modelled after the most famous diamond in the world.

I vaguely seem to recall being taught growing up that the Hope Diamond was the biggest diamond ever found, but it's occurred to me while writing this that I don't know if that's true. Apparently the largest diamond in the world is the Cullinan diamond, discovered in 1905 and named after the owner of the mine (and not, like, the miner... but if I go too deep down that path I will start talking about things REALLY unrelated to Barbie.)

While the redhead version was a Gold Label release with 6500 dolls created, there was also a blonde version that was a convention exclusive for the 2012 Italian doll convention.

The doll was designed by Robert Best, a very prolific Barbie designer. I don't think it's one of his best efforts but I do think Hope Diamond Barbie looks elegant and refined. I significantly prefer the redhead version of her.
