Springtime!

Happy first day of Spring, Barbie!

(I mean, not for me. For me, March 1 is the first day of Autumn. But I assume the majority of my followers are from the Northern Hemisphere.)

To celebrate the spirit of the season, here are a few Springtime Barbies. For example, remember when Mattel for some reason had a collaboration with direct sales company Avon? As a part of that, there was a series of Spring-themed Barbies available as Avon-exclusives.

Spring Petals and Spring Blossoms feel like they have some internal consistency, and then Spring Tea Party goes off on a bit of a tangent. Perhaps it's because Spring Bouquet, as a doll name, was already taken.

But of course, there are Spring themed Barbies that were released in places other than direct sales catalogs. For example, 2000's Goddess of Spring Barbie, in her beautiful lavender gown.

Or perhaps 2005's I Dream of Spring is more up your alley. I can't imagine why, as Goddess of Spring is clearly the frontrunner, but there's no accounting for taste.
