As promised...

So I went thrifting again! This time it was to a local flea market where I acquired two new Barbies.

They looked really familiar to me but I couldn't quite place them so I was on a hunt. If anyone is curious how I went about this, I.... well, to be honest, I posted on Reddit in r/barbie to ask if anyone knew.

And then I didn't want to wait so I looked at the copyright year for the bodies and the heads. Barbie's face sculpt is from 1998, while Ken's is from 2009, and both bodies are from 2009. The Ken head seemed like the best way to narrow it down and from a site breaking down Ken face sculpts I thought the face sculpt might be Fashionista Cuties Ken.

From there it was looking at different Kens with that face sculpt and searching up one of them to see if the clothes matched led me to the Beach Cruiser Playset.

There they are!

They're in pretty poor shape at the moment, with Barbie missing her shoes and both their hair being in quite a bit of disarray. (Plus Ken's shorts keep falling down because the Velcro is broken.)

Not to mention they are missing their actual Beach Cruiser.

Ken's hair is driving me so crazy that I don't know if I want to restyle it or do a complete rethread. That being said, I say that, but I can't even reliably finish a Barbie skirt.

Look who I found at the thrift store. She was at the bottom of a box full with dolls. I can't believe it and she is even wearing her crown still. Love finding the Barbie dolls of my favourite movies. She needs some care and love though.

"how can you multiship?" well you see honey, when two people love each other very much and neither of them is real...

The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.

Since I have been talking about quite a lot of Barbie, here are my 3 dolls of the early barbie movies. I do have Barbie from the Barbie movie as well but she doesn't fit well with these fantasy dolls. I literally almost cried when I thought I had lost the accessories for Odette and Clara, I was overjoyed when I found them again.

I can still remember having a poster of Clara of Barbie and the nutcracker across my bed. I really love her. She has been through a lot and I kinda want to give her a spa day to restyle her hair. Clara has the blue eyes and I was so surprised finding out that not all the dolls have the same eye colour.

Odette is one of the most beautiful Barbies in my opinion. I also played with her a lot hence the wild hair. She deserves a spa day as well. Her dress is just magical.

I got Elina when I kinda stopped playing with Barbies and she looks gorgeous. She can't hold Bibble but Clara can.

Bonus:

Odette in the thrifted magic of Pegasus dress. I can't believe how much fabric there is in this skirt.
