My Barbie made of Mattel factory reject parts that found their way onto a certain Chinese e-commerce site. I just think she's lovely 💜 #barbie #dollcollector

I generally only collect Barbie-shaped dolls, but I found this poor Rainbow High rammed into the refridgerated pie aisle at Lidl a couple of years back and felt sorry for her, so she came home with me. #rainbowhigh #dollcollector

There are some cursed, unopened tubes lurking on Ebay and I'm scared 😂

Just a bit of low-stakes kanekalon torture on a Thursday...

I'll crimp her hair at some point in the future. Honestly, I'm just glad there's so much of it left!

That makes sense too! I appreciate how she was clearly loved, as she didn't end up in a bin afterwards and somehow ended up here after sixty or so years 💜

It's not a bang Andie; it's a boom.

A child who probably had a serial killer name like Geranium chopped this Barbie’s face off. I restored her last year, but decided to redo it.

I bet Geranium now gives her grandkids bad haircuts just because.

She's styled after the mod Barbies, so that tracks!

She was like £20 so I took pity on her 😂Luckily I had some saran lying around, so she got a little hair transplant too.

Everyone's talking about Lindsay Lohan's surgeon, but no one is talking about Midge's. #barbiemidge #midgedoll #vintagebarbie #vintagemidge #barbie

With all the talk about the new Silkstone Barbie, I thought I'd spring the Barbie she's inspired by out of Barbie Jail. She doesn't have the Modern Art Dress (I can dream), but she's a lovely side-part tititan bubble, and one of my favourites 💜 #barbie #vintagebarbie #dollcollector

I semi-impulse purchased this absolute icon yesterday! She's Argigi's (the British model don't you know?) new friend Brigigi and she's an actress ✨ #argigi #brigigi #dollcollector #doll #fashiondoll #barbie

Ken No.2, my beloved wonk-eye Ken was already repainted beautifully by caketin_dolls, but he had a lot of flock missing, so I just replaced that.

Allan was quite straight forward. He has bend legs in great condition and arrived clean. A child who is probably now in jail had stabbed his head repeatedly with pins, so I did a thin layer of milliput over his head and painted his hair.

Poor Ken No.1 was painted black and stained. I cleaned him with several Vanish Oxy-baths, scraped his remaining flock off, covered the remaining stains with some freckles and reflocked him as a redhead!

A low-stakes, easy makeover today for Dogbite Boobs Barbie here 💜 She was already pretty, but a little blush and lipstick goes a long way!

The bites were minimised too!
