ROSEMARY CLOONEY - UPGRADE

ROSEMARY CLOONEY - UPGRADE.

I first posted this set back in December 2023 with a different doll which really didn't resemble the singer much. I've come to realize that the set was also incomplete and a bit faded. I've found a new, complete and much brighter source and I have done some work on the doll.

 Now she looks like Rosemary and has a full and colorful wardrobe.

For another Rosemary Clooney set check out the post for May 13, 2024.

 

AT THE BALLET 2

AT THE BALLET 2.

Next to wedding themed paper doll sets nothing fueled a young girl's imagination more than the ballet inspired ones. Who could resist dressing up the paper dancers and acting out their own versions of the classic ballets while listening to the music?

I posted the first At The Ballet set back on December 4, 2023 and you will find several ballet themed sets posted throughout the blog like those found on April 29, 2024, July 24, 2024 and March 11, 2025.

 

BARBIE & KEN 1962 - PART TWO

BARBIE & KEN 1962 - PART TWO.

As promised here are the remaining outfits from the Barbie & Ken 1962 set. I like that they are about evenly matched for clothes in this set, something that will diminish later on with Ken having way fewer changes of clothes than Barbie and her friends.

( I couldn't fit Barbie's wedding gown onto a single page so I digitally removed her veil and put it on a separate sheet. It may be necessary to re-tape it in place behind the gown once it is fitted on the doll.)

And that's our look back at some of the earliest Barbie paper dolls. You will find Barbie and Friends sets scattered through this blog with more to come in later posts. 

Next week we're on to something different!

 

BARBIE & KEN 1962 - PART ONE

BARBIE & KEN 1962 - PART ONE

I first posted this early set featuring Ken back on August 12, 2024. That post was not corrected or properly sized however as this one is now. This is a beautifully drawn set featuring several of the outfits which were originally available for the actual dolls back then. So many outfits in fact that I have had to divide it into two posts. Part Two will come tomorrow.
