I saw yesterday the new trailer of Toy Story 3 and I can’t wait to watch it!!! From what I can see the movie looks amazing!!! But best of all two of our favourite characters make their appearance in it: Barbie and Ken!!! They are both dressed in what are clearly eighties clothes, I mean…look at him:

He’s definitely Animal Lovin’ Barbie Ken from 1988, see for comparison here the doll how it appears in the original commercial from 1988:

She’s Great Shape Barbie:

isn’t she gorgeous?

In the background you can clearly see what looks to me like the Barbie Dream House from 1983:

the scene where they meet is so “cheesily” sweet

but then something obviously goes wrong along the way since he’s spotted gambling:

and at one point she seems not so happy with him anymore, it looks like they had already their problems back then:

I just wonder why he changes clothes and she doesn’t

Can’t wait for summer to come and watch it

Most probably I’m the last one amongst dolls collectors to have seen her but in case I’m not  here she is:

Computer Engineer Barbie!!! The 126th doll in Barbie’s I can be serie!!! The laptop unfortunately looks quite…welll…you know what I mean, but I LOVE the top she’s wearing and I would like a closer look to the bluetooth headsets. And here below she is together with the News Anchor Barbie, I think I could like her as well. Both dolls are scheduled for release in winter.

Thank you to Impossible Princess for the heads-up about them and here some history about the doll (by the way I think I could get addicted to this blog ).

The toys/dolls situation here around is pretty miserable but Saturday I decided to check in Kaufhof what they had and behave and behold!!! They had all the 3 Barbie in Pink dolls for 9.99 euros. For the moment I picked up only 2 of them:

I admit I  wanted them mostly for the clothes and accessories than the dolls themselves, this is why most probably I will end up buying the third one as well.

Then I found this adorable Beatrix Potter duck or 2 euros at TK MAXX, I couldn’t leave her there all alone

and this cute San Valentine mini teddy bear in a book shop for 5 euros:

The girls were delighted;-)

And what have you all been buying recently?

My sister-in-law and I had a dolls day a couple of weeks ago. We took lots of pictures, talked of course about dolls and …Played around

Here are some pictures of the meeting, Dani was just totally taken by Brad (who wouldn’t?):

As you can see he got quite a warm welcome The dress she’s wearing was made by Ursula.

The other girls in meantime were taking coffee and pastries:

Arianna also showed them some new pieces she acquired for the house:

and at the end of the day Ursula even prepared a super-funny comic read it here.

Not sure if any of you still hasn’t seen the last incarnation of our favourite doll, but if you didn’t check it here, just amazing!

On the flickr stream of the artist you can even find a tutorial on how some of the Alender McQueen inspired shoes were made.
