PINK & PRETTY BARBIE - PART ONE

PINK & PRETTY BARBIE - PART ONE.

We started the week with Barbie so we'll end with her as well. This is the first of a two doll set from the 1980's. The big hair is there but somewhat manageable on these dolls and the super skinny clothes are pure disco era chic.

I'll post Part Two tomorrow.

 

MISS UNIVERSE

MISS UNIVERSE.

This is an interesting single doll set with stylish fashions as well as a few international costumes.

The term "Miss Universe" dates all the way back to 1920's beauty contests with the current pageants having originated in 1952. This set dates to the 1960's.

 

BARBIE'S NEW LOOK

BARBIE'S NEW LOOK.

For the first post of the New Year here is Barbie's new look, circa 1969 of course. Barbie's friend Francie was the first to go Mod before Barbie herself was redesigned for a new generation herself.

Although nothing can replace those wonderful original outfits for the classic Barbie there are some fun fashions on display here.

 

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART THREE

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART THREE.

As promised here is the third and final doll in the Sonja Henie set. We move from perky skating costumes to some really smart early 1940's fashions with accessories and hats. A really nicely drawn set full of color and style.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Paperdollapalooza!

 

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART TWO

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART TWO.

Here is Doll#2 from the Sonja Henie set dated to the 1940's. Dolls 1 & 2 are on skates and feature some lovely skating costumes. I will post Doll# 3 tomorrow and she is a fashion doll with some really fabulous outfits so stay tuned!

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART ONE

What better way to end the year with icy temperatures outside than with this beautiful Sonja Henie set. Sonja was a three time Olympic figure skating champion and enjoyed a modest Hollywood film career as well. She also featured in at least three different paper doll sets released during the 1930's and 40's.

[ See the Oct. 11, 2023 and Feb. 5, 2025 posts for more Sonja Dolls ]

There are three dolls and lots of skating outfits and fashions in the set and I will post the other two over the next two days leading into 2026!
