New Barbie Looks (No 246 & 247)

Today a warm welcome to my 2nd Wave Barbie Looks dolls No. 13 and 14

The first one I received from my former employer who understood

 my love for Barbies and the less obvious looks. She has spent a good amount of 2024 boxed and on my everchanging display....

here are my deboxing close-up pics:

Great fan of (80's) coloured make-up revival after years of 'neutral nudes'

Such a happy 80s childhood colour combo

One of best sculpts of recent years, surely.

The second one came off amazon because i had my eye on her (and never got the previous mean redhead) - now I had a doll-sister excuse...

Not sure about her fashions but she is such a classic beauty - 

pre-Raphaelites and Irish-doll-situations love her!

Freedom!?

So happy with how natural looking and small their eyes are <3

...well as for the hair - I can fix that....

tadaaam!

Yay!

here are some future (ha!) photo sessions I used them for:-)

....even together!

Thanks

Mia in Ashtead Common

In today's Defa Lucy being unimpressed in Ashtead common - me being disappointed with lack of foxgloves....kids hating going to the forest but having fun... (May 2024)

Shades of green I guess....

Oh, some flowers in scale

Poker face re all this growth....

Ok, change of scenery please....

.....Let's go!

Mamma mia, even signage in scale

oh, new shade - juicy juicy

Extras
Assistants in wild

First cold foxgloves

and other, worth noting weekend miniature activities:-)
