She's come a long way

I found this Barbie Extra girlie whilst thrifting. She wears a Barbie and Ken date playset blouse, a Hermoine doll skirt, lolomg leggings i cut into pop socks, and some fashion fever boots. Her hair took forever to get silky smooth, and i had to cut around an inch off! I used nail varnish remover to take the stars off of her face (i would have kept them if they were freckles, but I couldn't get the image of pimple patches out of my head).

What do you guys think? Should I have layered her hair?

Is this a knock off? This is a knock off, isn't it? Some cheesy knock off!

This is EXACTLY what happens when you sign these free trade agreements.

She wants to go where the Barbies go

Found this gorgeous Disney Store London Ariel, and I am beyond smitten. I boil washed her frazzled hair in some large curlers and made her sparkle. What do you guys think? I don't have many Disney dolls but this one fits Barbie clothes and shoes way better than my Belle or Cinderella.

Also, does anyone have any tips on straightening her lower legs? I think she was in that thrift shop bargain tub for a WHILE.

She was so happy to look a mess

This 1991 Twist & Twirl Sindy bodysuit working hard to prove my "she can pull off anything" declarations a bunch of dirty lies. Possibly my aged worst thrifted vintage fashion?

On 12 June 2003 at 8:00 PM GMT, my aunt (who had cable) accepted her calling

I thought i was just getting my Buffy board game back, but this was nestled inside like a nostalgia Easter egg. What are we gonna do now?

Found these beautiful girls thrifting and convinced myself I needed more brunettes in my collection.

I have identified my curly headed brunette as 2021 Fashionista #182, and she's wearing the 2012 Barbie Volkswagen Beetle dress. The unidentified Teresa (?) is wearing the 2012 Barbie Gown Life Fashion 3 dress. I also can't work out #182's face mould? I'm so pleased to add these gorgeous ladies to my gang.

Millie thrifted so hard she ended up ready for prom at Sagebrush High in Tucson...

Don't worry, I've already warned her about Billy Christianson.

Thrifted this gorgeous Cloe, but I have a problem...

So I thrifted this gorgeous Cloe a long time ago, and I've never gotten around to displaying her as her hair did not clean up well when I conditioned/boil washed.

Is there any way to save the affected hair, or am I going to have to give her a chop? I really don't want to because I like my dolls to have their original factory settings, but in this case, I feel like I have no choice?

I found these pretty dolls at the bottom of a box of Barbies - does anyone have any information?

I'm going to restore them and then return them to the charity shop as they don't fit with my collection, but they're very cute and I'd love to know who they are before I send them to their forever homes.

I think the middle doll and the far right doll are the exact same only one is missing her hand.

Millie hates to see me coming

But it's a price I'm willing to pay. (Got mtm Millie and a bunch of shoes for £1!!)

Update - we had to chop

We soaked in conditioner, we soaked in fabric softener. We tried low set straighteners, but the scissors were inevitable! What do you guys think?

I hope the thrift shop girlies don't treat her differently for being first hand

I usually only buy second-hand, but the yellow and platinum hair sucked me in. And she's so pretty! Need to source another yoga mtm so she can kick it with the flexi girls, and a fabulous maxi dress of some kind.

Help Identifying This Large Footed Charity Shop Girlie?

I can find very similar dolls, but not this exact one? She has a strange plastic nubbin on the sole of her feet.
