My Kenner Dana Covergirl (who I've had since she was new and I was somewhere around being in kindergarten) had been wearing this outfit for years, and I apparently had never taken a picture of it, so here it is before I change her clothes

The haircut is an attempt to salvage the cut I gave her somewhere around 1983, when I decided her original hair was too Disco and I wanted her to be more New Wave (and have bangs.) She went on on wear a lot of turbans and full-coverage hats for years, so it's default to dress her with a hat now

I don’t buy a lot of modern Barbies but I had to make an exception for this one, which has the Superstar Barbie vibe I love so much:

I didn’t realize the hair was a bit messy in this one (I’ll need to wash out all the product anyway) but still look how pretty this doll is:

And here she is with the original Superstar:

I wanted to switch dresses for some pics but the dress for the original Superstar is too narrow in the hips for this new dolly. I did manage to get Superstar a Barbie in the pink gala dress (although the back doesn’t full close):

I love that Mattel is embracing Barbiecore like this!

The new Bild Lilli book has arrived from Switzerland and features amazing pictures of the original Bild Lilli fashions, modeled on Peter Isler’s amazing collection of Bild Lilli dolls (including some ultra rare brunette and redhead Lilli’s).

The cover mimics the original Bild Lilli fashion catalog from the 1950s:

And the back cover features an old advertisement suggesting a gentleman could get a Bild Lilli doll as a cute gift for a loved one:

I’ll only post a couple of pictures from inside, the one below shows a couple of the brunette Lilli dolls:

And of course the tennis outfit:

And my gorgeous Lilli’s getting ready to browse the book:

For anyone interested the book can be purchased at www.lilli-book.com directly from the author/owner of all the beautiful dolls inside.

Somewhere in an overlooked corner lies a secret garden. Le Jardin de Poupées is both a doll sanctuary as well as a fun place for them to hang out!

This portrait is of a doll named Lorelai. A more recent resident, she spends most of her time alone—strolling throughout the forgotten areas of the garden. Lorelei was a doll that was originally commissioned by someone in the likeness of their lover, and at the couples’ passing was left to wander the world. She enjoys romance novels, daydreaming, and cats. She also hopes, more than anything, that she can soon make a special friend!
