Holliday Barbie doll Walmart exclusive

While in Walmart last week I notice this Holiday Barbie doll with a Walmart exclusive sticker on it and I couldn't figured it out at first, so I placed two of them side by side and noticed that the one "from Walmart" has also an ornament up in the left corner of the box. As you can see, the price is $39.97, nice add to any collection.

I actually saw the Caucasian version on this doll at the flea market going for $30.00.

Just giving you guys a heads up in case you'll buy this doll at Walmart.



 

Celebrity Monday - Deidre Hall as Marlena Evans

As I "talked" about one of the days of our lives actresses last week - HERE, I have decided to mention Deidre Hall as Well. She played Marlena Evans on the show. She was the longest running actress on the serial.

Deidre Ann Hall /diːdrə hɔːl/ (born October 31, 1947) is an American actress best known for her portrayal of Dr. Marlena Evans on NBC's daytime drama Days of our Lives, which she played for 32 years. The character is considered an icon to the soap, and has experienced some of the most outrageous storylines in soap opera history.[1] She is also an ambassador for Operation Smile. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deidre_Hall

 I don't think any other Barbie dolls were made based on the show, I was not able to find there's one.

Just as Erica Kane, Marlena Evans had her doll on 1999 as well. As I don't have the doll, these pictures are from eBay.

The doll is a recreation of Marlena Evans when she married John Black. Her dress is a very light blue (I wouldn't know just by looking at internet pictures) with a soft scallop trim, there's also a cascade of white tulle falling from her shoulders. She holds a nosegay of white flowers.

Seems to me, Mattel tried to "copy" the actress face, but wasn't too successful on that...

Hope you all have a great week!!

Makeup by Friday - All blue

My inspiration for this week was the talk Barbie doll. As she was just a inspiration (Sometimes I have no idea what to do, and by looking at Barbie picture's faces, the images begins appear on my imagination) I got the beautiful dark blue from this one and made this all blue eye makeup. Look at the results and I really like it!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
 

What is up with that???

So as I have mentioned on the post before I was browsing at stores last couples of days. I was actually looking for some outfits for the naked Barbie dolls I have, but I was disappointed with the outfits prices.

A set with 3 different outfits was more expensive than a very cute dressed doll!!!I don't get it!

So, why Am I going to buy three outfits before actually getting a doll? I didn't buy neither, but If I have to pick of course I would go with the doll. Just to mentioned, Barbie dolls outfit prices on eBay are way overpriced (90's outfits) as well, that was the reason I went to stores, maybe I would find something on clearance or something... I don't know what's happening!

BTW, some dolls are cheaper at Target.


 

Browsing around stores...

I just want to share some products on stores now...

I'm no a big shopper person, I usually go with my husband, I prefer to buy online, but it's nice every so often to go there and actually see the doll before you buy it. Actually, have you see the new dolls how well articulated and cute they are? I'm impressed with the eyelashes, I so want to buy one and open the box!!!

Hope you guys are having a great week!!

 

Vintage Wednesday - ROMAN HOLIDAY OUTFIT #968 1959

According to Fashion Doll Guide, this was one of the three outfits made for Barbie dolls back on 1959 (I didn't know that - One of the reasons I do the Vintage Wednesday as i can search and learn more about it). The original set contained:

1 - A dress
2 - A white Belt
3 - A striped coat
4 - A hat
5 - A necklace
6 - White gloves
7 - A Clutch Purse
8 - A hanky
9 - A pink Comb
10 - Black Shoes
11 - Glasses case
12 - Compact
13 - Black glasses - Not showed

It must be rare to find in a good condition as it's a over 50 years item, but you may be able to get the pieces separately on auctions, just be patience, some items are  tiny and easy to lose so they may be very hard to find. I was not able to find any complete set on eBay. Also, I saw an auction selling the set with a regular high heels black shoe, the original is an open toe, so it's nice when you know what you are selling/buying as I didn't see any indication in the auction saying it was not part of the set at all, just give a hands up...in case you are looking for things like this.

Hope you all are having a great week!
