Vintage Barbie

The thing about me collecting dolls is that I seem to dislike the collectibles.
The perfect, boxed and untouchable dolls are beyond boring to me.. I didn't like my spinning ballerina neither...

When I dug this one out from a pile of dolls with a poker face, like 'she is no different to the other blondes you have and rather old' and I payed 50 p for her...

I felt great satisfaction, especially that her  ski jacket and horse-riding pants are from the epoque too...
I love how perfectly her 70's pace, look and coloring is but, apparently, historic thrill is not enough - I had no idea for this tanned blonde at all!
