- I am pleased to show off my prized collection of fashion and historic themed dolls I have collected, mostly over the last eight months.
*I said Walmart a few times when I meant Amazon. At Fashionistas 201 and 121; also my Signature Looks Ken, I got from Amazon.
I love that you said that you overcame your fear of buying dolls, despite being a mom. When I was a kid 1 million years ago. My family thought it was strange that I was so into Barbies. They often made me feel bad and guilty about this. So I had a lot of shame in collecting my dolls. So after I had my son, I said to myself, let’s be more grown-up, and let’s get rid of all of our dolls. so I did, and deeply regretted it. When my little boy went off to college in 2017 I had both loneliness and freedom. So little by little I begin to collect them again. Enter 2020. And I began to collect them big time. I started taking them out of the boxes and putting them on made to move bodies. I now Make designer clothing for them and dioramas. I have been having the time of my life. However, I still feel episodes of extreme guilt and shame about this. I think you’re fantastic. Keep doing what you’re doing.❤❤
Thanks so much, your comment brought tears to my eyes. My Mom told me I wasn't allowed to buy any more Barbies, even with my own money, when I was 14. At 15 they were packed away in the basement, and once in a while, I'd go down there to visit them, one time, taking one last family photo. Unfortunately the photo turned out blurry. In 1994, at 20, I secretly bought German Barbie new off the shelf with my best friend, who bought Baywatch Barbie, likewise in secret, and we hid them from our parents. I thought I had done that at 16, so it's sad that I still felt so much shame about it at 20. Having a child, brought toys, and Barbies, back to mind. Visiting the toy section for my son I saw the incredible Barbies that were coming out in the early naughties. And there was that feeling, "Silly Rabbit! Toys are for kids!" I found a way around it by making historic Barbie clothes to sell in my costume business, and of course needed a Barbie with the new figure for the fit! I was super curious. I bought an AA ballerina who I names Martha after Doctor Who`s companion. She's gone now. I saw a Fashion Fever Drew in Value Village for $6, a couple years later, and boldly bought her too, for no other reason than that she was cool, and she was cheap. Regrettably I gave her away in a big purge in 2015. But I still have my awesome Top Model Teresa. Even in my darkest moments, I would never give her away. Barbie dolls are really awesome little figures, and hold many cherished memories and fantasies. Many thanks to the movie for bringing them back. I cried when I came out of the film. I'm glad you and I both got over our embarrassment, and took grasp of our rights! There's a lot of Barbie lovers out there. Of course not everyone will understand and that's ok. I look at and enjoy my collection every day. I had two chimney sweeps in my house recently, and one of them really admired my collection. He said it was wonderful. ☺ That's awesome you make clothes and dioramas. My Eleanor is currently cozily curled up on her couch, shoes off, book on the floor. Much love friend. 💖✨💗

Girlfriend has the gloria esterfan doll loves her
She purchased hers from local toyworld store
She also purchased the inspiring women's iba wells signature doll she still needs I think there's 3 others
@@michaelwood4661 The inspiring women dolls are awesome! I want the Celia Cruz doll. The Ida Wells has a really nice dress! I like her backdrop too. I was considering getting Florence Nightingale, but I also like the Rebecca Welton doll. I did buy Eleanor Roosevelt, but didn't meld with her and sent her back. Plus the box was not new. The choosing is half the fun!
