The Rockers reloaded

Oh my... dream team reloaded and reinvented...one of the coolest crews of the 80 (beside the tropical one and Benetton which have etched deep deep into my brain) - Barbie and the Rockers <3

The session is as usual slightly rushed and improvised  but I still had plenty of fun and achieved some of my goals / dreams. I came up with it to celebrate my tortured Barbie as well as compare and animate both of my DeeDees!! <3

Clothes are not original - loosely inspired since I never aspire to really collect sets and lines, as you already know...

enjoy!

there she is!

definitely a Superstar...

 ...and with DeeDee

 (this is kitschy Dreamhouse era dress, imagine that!)

....and DeeDee No 2:

Beautiful girl! (in Angel of Music panties LOL)

...and even better in outfit from her era;-)

Miko and Midge can not miss this dress-up fun!!

 it hurts my eyes but I love it, hahhaaa

and group photos at last!

(not bad for someobe who always makes-down her dolls and sew real-life/mini-me  earthy coloured cothes LOL)

My doll No 152

Here we go again...

what would you do if you accidentaly stumbled uppon a doll which is:

mixed race

has purple hair

has purple hair

is vintage

is articulated

fully dressed 

and perfectly 80's...

Exactly - this is how I purchased this beauty on ebay - welcome

SHANA of Jem and Holograms' DRUMMER <3

and crappy ebay pic...

I think I waited almost for an year to finally have time to open the parcel she came in (the queue was rather long I must say...)

very interesting packaging;-)

tadaaam!

you cannot see how dirty her face was...

Her body is awesome (compared to plastic fashionistas), her curvy legs and articulated wrists are total winners...yet I never regretted selling these platinum Danse and Jem...

As you can see immediately - she comes with a bonus

1988 Feeling Fun denim and lace Barbie - my absolute holy Graale of childhood...

Jem and Holograms pages except of revealing her character's name gave me 2 editions to consider...

First 1986 edition in silver and pink with no earrings...

yep - 1987 pink and sapphire are heaven! no holes in the ears of mine yet neither the instrument nor do the clothes... hmmm

Top is from first edition Aja...

yet guitar seems to be Pizzazz instrument (neon green hair from Misfits)...as I hardly found on this sub-page (knock yourselves out but be considerate http://www.rockjem.com/dollsidentify.html <3 

So my character, Shana, is absolutely fab, I couldn't be more happy ...just look at her in the original cartoon...

oh..my child of the 80'sis soo delighted!

...and I'm not gonna lie that 2013 Integrity reedition dolls are not cool at all;-)

oh well...

Let's appreciate my doll now fully <3

 this face sculpt is a killer!

 awww

 that is amazing articulation... I wish my Darcy had her body in order...

 ...soaking, relaxing all those years later...waiting for inspiration....
