Happy Holidays and a fantastic 2020!

I hope all of you have had a happy Christmas and found some wonderful dolly presents under the tree! I got the doll I wanted which was the ponytail BMR1959 Ken doll and also the original outfit (with the cool umbrella) that came with Sunny Slickers Poppy Parker so I am a very happy camper 🙂

 

2020 is just a few days away and I hope that it will be a good one for all of us. There are some clouds on the horizon (figuratively speaking) but my hope that all of us are blessed with good health and be able to enjoy our hobby of doll collecting!

 

Dynamite Girls Dolls

I’ve just posted an update on my collection of these dolls. These beauties are what got me started on collecting Poppy Parkers.

MTM Basketball Barbie & a BMR1959 outfit

I loved the look of some of the new BMR1959 Barbies & Kens and was lucky enough to purchase one of the outfits from a fellow collector. I redressed my basketball MTM Barbie in the outfit and she looks fantastic! I didn’t think the outfit would fit because the basketball Barbie is a tall Barbie but it does. Shoes were not included in the purchase of the outfit but the shoes of the basketball MTM Barbie work just as well.

 

One of my favorite Fashionistas

To be honest, I don’t have many dolls in the Fashionista series. I was quite enthusiastic about purchasing them when they first started coming out but I soon gave up because so many are issued each year and for someone who is supposed to be thinning her collection they’re simply not a good idea:)

It’s often hard to resist though because each doll often comes with some cute outfit or accessory and it’s tempting to purchase them just for those one or two pieces.

Pictured below is one of my favorite Fashionistas. I am not 100% sure but I think she was issued in 2018. I wanted to rebody her with an MTM body but couldn’t find a MTM doll with the right skin tone. However, she is still a beauty.

Redressed in the Dolls of the World UK outfit.

 

Here she is dressed in a cute Wonder Woman t-shirt and skirt.
