Resurrecting the Barbie pics I took years ago for Pink Bow City Magazine with the help of Vestige Photography. “Barbie The Movie” makes it possible for me to have some part of the Barbie World action. 🤗🤗🤗💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾

Did y'all see the awful Barbie 65th anniversary tribute fashionistas???? They pissed me off so much that I redesigned all of them in a caffeine fueled frenzy last night

So here they are :)

I should design more dolls tbh

[so-i-grudgingly-joined-this-site]

Thought I'd take a break from fandom and post one of my original designs for once! I call this gal "Hayley," after the lead singer of Paramore. She was originally a Barbie Fashionista #140 "Kira" doll (before photo is a stock photo from Amazon).

If you're like me and like knowing the components of a custom and the story behind them, here they are under the cut:

Base doll: Fashionista 140 Kira Hair: rerooted in 12 inch Kanekalon in a blend of pink, purple, light green, and blue Face: partially repainted with acrylic paint for both makeup and piercings Clothes: skirt from Looks Model 10, sweater from Ken Fashionista 191, stockings made from scrap fabric by me Shoes: her original boots, repainted Necklace: an actual random necklace I had

Ever had a design go from least favorite to one of your favorites with a makeover? Fashionista 140 Kira sat in my "stock box" for a long time...the awful proportions, the ugly dress, the glue seepage hair, the pixilated face screening that couldn't even be removed with acetone...I disliked her so much that I ended up using her as a test dummy for different paints and sealants! Likewise, I ended up with some kanekalon hair that had a truly fried texture that I needed to use up.

So, I needed a design that could hide a LOT of issues with the doll and the materials. One that could involve hair that looked bleach-fried, a hair style that could cover holes and bald patches, grungy/messy makeup, and random questionably-fitting fashion. Then, I remembered the mid-2000s, and with it, scene fashion! Or is it emo? Alas, in high school I was not cool/uncool (depending on your POV) to ever be informed of the difference no matter how much I admired the fashion.

Thus, this girl emerged! I'm so happy with how she turned out; she really went from one of my least favorite designs to one of my favorite original designs of my own.

Tagging those that may want to see my OC designs: @serenityspiral @violetoftheendless (who helped with the name!) and @tryan-a-bex

A scene I animated for the Sailor Moon @heartsinice-reanimated fan project ✍🏻

Usagi’s redesign is inspired by one of my daughter’s Barbie Fashionista dolls (Number 180).

I bought her because she reminded me of Sailor Moon with her adorable hairstyle. Then as I was putting her in the toy box one day I thought, why not make her Usagi for my next scene? 🐰 ❄️ 💕

I twisted Tabitha's hair. Really didn't take long at all.

Another pic, the girls and the closet. They wear dresses, shoes, necklaces, and purses from the playset. I should note, the chair and table are from another playset. The drink from a third. Lots of accessories and fashions fill out this scene. But y'all know that just from looking.

Barbie 65th: Superstar Barbie

This homage to the 1977 Superstar Barbie is one of my favorite looks of the new line, but I noticed it seems to have more in common with another homage they released in 2010! So I decided to show the similarities between each individual iteration, showing how the look has changed over time

[barbiejewelle]

After ages of hoping to find something I want at Walmart almart. I found these beauties Definitely snagging the Astronaut at the very least!

Also a question: Why is it so hard to find a Barbie doll that comes in pants????!!? Preferably long pants, not shorts.

The variety of barbie types that my friends used to describe me is hilarious but my bestie Juno won everything when they called me " Barbie Stand User " or " Barbie magia del Palio " 🤣🤣

Otherwise i have " Barbie Fashionista ", " Malibu Barbie " and " Odette ( From Barbie swan lake )" vibes 🩷🩷

I think my oc is the " Barbie Stand User " version of me lol
