Benetton Fun

What a half-single mum does when she spends her first Christmas ever without no parents, no children (30.12.19)?...other than reconnecting with Uni friend (also long term migrant) and having wine and a mixed plate of post-tradi foods....she obviously plays with dolls.... no other ones but a true Christmas Miracle ones - ones that she couldn't even dream of having!

Oh, how much fun was setting up these...

As you know and can see I'm not a doll fanatic and I mix up eras and collections a bit.

I love all the colours, vibe and memories they bring

...but what would be a shop full of clothes without colour-obsessed fashion dolls!!

The first to visit is the original, first wave Benetton Barbie (Made in China) wearing a contemporary bright Fashinsitas  mix & match set.

Next the Baywatch Barbie - an ideal of 90s beauty with matching make-up colour palette...

MMMrrrrrr

Oh! More friends are here!

Here is Kira - looking super summery...

...and her pattern-loving, blue-haired bestie Teresa...

..apologies for photos with flash but I've been obviously playing shops after work and in winter...

Yellow loving redhead came to say hi, as well...

Finally the original first wave Christi with recreated hairdo arrives...

...along with cousin Asha...

Group photos!!!

..last but not least -

a short video documenting the diorama setup:-)
