MISS HOLLYWOOD

MISS HOLLYWOOD.

It's Hooray for Hollywood this week on Paperdollapalooza!

This grand set from 1942 has lots of period fashions plus film costumes, wigs and even props which can be placed in the doll's "hands", all beautifully drawn and colored. A real gem.

While yesterday's posted fashions were more subdued the clothes here go to the extreme in both color and pattern (that brick patterned jumpsuit and marble skirt are a bit much!) but the various wigs are fun and overall it's a good set. The color dots on each doll match the tabs on their respective outfits. 

I've fashioned a tri-fold background from the inside folder artwork to pose the dolls in front of.

That's enough Barbie for now, more fun and different paper doll sets are coming up next week!

Here's more Barbie, this time from the early 1990's. Unlike a lot of these sets that featured some pretty outlandish outfits these look like things someone might actually be seen wearing. So which do you prefer, Reality or Fantasy when clothing Barbie?

More Tomorrow!

Barbie and her fashionable friends can all wear the same outfits and what outfits! The "Mod" look had transitioned by the late 1970's, with the hodge-podge of 1980's fashion just around the corner and that is reflected in this set.

More Barbie & Friends coming tomorrow.
