and its always a good time to save a vintage Superstar, because why not.
a true delicatessen of my childhood and almost a forbidden fruit...
Now she is mine, sticky, with honey blonde shortened hair and purple eyes!
The hypnotizing pupils and bend elbows do things to me obviously:-)
With a kind help of Lunarh (who is also takes responsibility for 'superstar-with-purple-eyes' sensitivuty syndrome) I managed to identify her in comparison to my 'other' one...
Yes, the piercing eyes belong to the classic, holy Graale Crystal Barbie 1983 .
She was so popular there are several versions depending on place of production:
here she is in a vintage velvety coat
I usually don't feel any preasure to hunt for original outfits as I don't think Mattel is any kind of god, but this time I was tempted for the very first time. On purpouse - got her her original dress on eBay straight from London:-)
oh my! really?
tadaaam!
with a cape instead of a boa - made from a vintage Fleur or even Petra/Diana wedding vail
a happy end
