found a random 35th anniversary Barbie at a comic book store. it’s fun comparing her to my MTM Barbie no. 1 custom and seeing how despite 60+ years of development and body shape revisions, they can more or less share clothes.

Why do you pronounce ''bust'' like that
Well, well~ I simply like to be eccentric, after all!
Besides, "bust" has several meanings and not just one~
