Barbie Bride No. 209

It was a sad and busy June 2022 most of which I spent visiting my boss at St. Thomas's Hospital and working for her there - conditions that are definitely not made for me...

I had to keep my spirit up by rewarding myself with dolls ...regularly LOL

One evening I spotted this surprisingly affordable unboxed 

1961 Barbie Bride Collectable reproduction from 1997...

...and she was ginger...

...with available options of brunette and egg-blonde...

Poor thing had to spent quite a while hidden away in a box, deep in my wardrobe....but here she is!!

Oh! Auburn in pearls...

Oh 2 glitter and lace...

Really chuffed!...welcome vintage adventures...

Such cloassic!

<3

Lovely pearls

ah, and here she is in full close-up

cannot wait to photograph her....more than bridal extravaganza 

I dream about a cozy autumnal woolies...

Delicate and elegant against the rough brown paper...

...mystique...

I love her classic charm and elegance...

...and nice surprises from collectable edition doll...

fab lace fest!

...now she is waiting patiently on current yet temporary 'display'....

Aerobic Walkman Brooke Shields (No 208)

During one of my late night trips into depths of the eBay I stumbled upon her...

I absolutely lobe 80s vibe and a quiet harm of post-clone vip doll LOL

Copyrighter in 1982 by BCS & Co Inc. and made in Hong Kong

I loved the loud neon Aerobic set but now I don't think it is an original one.

She ended up amongst all those wonderful gifts we shared between me and my children _ I am also somebody's baby but I no longer have a Mum so we celebrate together:-)

happily unboxed and unwrapperd

Her face sculpt and make-up is very good and even stylish.

hair are hopeless and beyond saving...

Vintage or not - I just cut them....

Nicely plucked....and because I had no time so is still waiting moved left from right...

Meanwhile an interesting interview with Brooke Shields was published debronzing the golden era and finally allowing the childstar/bombshell to tell her own truth...

 

I personally remember her best from the Blue Lagoon

and friendship with Michael Jackson

So 80s but ahead of her times with the eyebrows...

There have been several editions and quite an impressive amount of extra fashions too

Very cool. Not sure I will be faithful to the era...

...here is one amazing custom by noeling
