Just wanted to share about myself. I am 40. I'm into the Lara, Black Society Girl, Lea, Mackie and Fantasy Goddess of Africa head molds. I also like the vintage 60's and retro 70's and 80's clothing and accessories. I like the motorized vehicles, doll carrying cases and more grown up Barbie licensed stuff (sheets, towels , purses, clocks, a whole bunch of other stuff). Always looking to chat about Mattel and my love/ hate relationship with them. Always looking to buy more Barbie stuff and see pics of others Barbie things. I joined the Barbie World group on Yahoo and I love it. Found a great website, dayledollz.com that has pics of a temporary Barbie museum in Brazil. It's beautiful and the site reminds me of Barbie Bazaar that I miss so much. That's all I wanted to share for now.
She has a hole in her back to insert something (wings?) and her mouth has a small round hole in the center. Bent arms, crimped hair, made in Malaysia. Nothing on back of head...
I rarely have time to check out fashion doll magazines, but I came across this really cool article and photo collection by Michael Williams published in "HAUTE DOLL" (2007). Check out these amazing retro dioramas!... http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawphoto/sets/72157603894831644/
For even more fun, do a Google Image search for "fashion doll diorama" -- there's such creative stuff out there!
I have only recently discovered the society girl black face mold. I love it. Does anyone know how I can find out the dolls that have been made with this mold? I am trying to narrow my search. I don't like having twins. So far I have exotic intrigue and now that I've seen others, wish her make-up wasn't so dark. I'm checking out the zodiacs and David's Bridal. Who else with this mold is pretty or different?-Thanks.
Wow I am swamped with a new bag of male and female type Barbies and they are musty and a ton of Barbie clothes from the 60's and 70"s . I am a bit overwhelmed ! My plan is to wipe them with a damp cloth and should I hand wash the clothes before listing. I don't even have any idea how to id them all. I took off one head to look for a date and a "connector piece is now up in the head, I know I can get to it. But afraid to remove others. Please give me advice so I do not ruin this for collectors as I am not. You may have seen some of the dolls I have listed from this estate lot but today the mother load came in... Help. How do I do this?

I am on the wait list and doesn't look like I will be attending actual convention but I was lucky enough to get a table in the sales room. I only live 25 miles away so it works out for me. I am still holding out hope I will be able to get registered...
I am hoping to meet some fellow ebayers there. Is anyone going? I will be attending room sales, let me know if you are selling from your room and I will be sure to stop by!
Christmas and Around the World Dolls because I needed some money for my summer vacation to BC this summer. This collection is huge one and many of them are still in the original boxes.
