Best umbrella ever! From Liv


And Ken goodies!


Didn't see him yet but Bram is planning to steal his stuff.

Our nearest Target had none of the new Basics yet. The accessory kits were $19, is that what they have been or is that a price increase? (I know that question sounds silly, but I very rarely get there ) Love, love the Ken goodies.

That LIV outfit is darling!

Target had the 'Japanese' Ken and Barbie. Kind of cool in their own way, but they're somewhere between Harajuku and 23rd century Japan in style. Maybe something in the Blade Runner timestream? If I end up buying them, most of the outfits will probably go in my Star Wars clothing stash-the pieces are interesting. I can see why collectors have been put out about the definite lack of authenticity, though.

Bought one of the Valentine's [strike]Kelly[/strike] Chelsea dolls tonight. Still making my mind up on her-she's cute, but the bent arm looks really wonky.

$19 is steep, I only finally caved because of the iPhone. Japanese Barbie will most likely be a skinny no very mobile body, not meant to do anything but sit in a box, so her clothes won' fit too many others.

That ken looks really nice and masculine even with long hair! xD I love that watch, that is so cool.

Ken Basics! I've been dreaming of some good Ken shoes. Thanks for the heads up.

The MH rumor mill grinds out something tempting.
If this is for real: Do.Want.

I like her accessories BUT I feel I have enough of them. Me being me I want a Peter Cushing to hang around to keep an eye on them.

Remember those Gap commercials, I think, where they just stood there singing Just Can't Get Enough? I give you the Barbie Basics collection #2!



Got the guy who's stuff Bram stole, he's keeping the iPhone, and the search for a body with elbows will commence. He has the mostly static Deadwood body, is Ken normal, and a different sculpt from the usual one which the blond has. I figure I just bought a handsome head and some spiffy clothes.

I had to wash the product out of his hair.

Okay, I'm definitely going to nab that Ken pack the instant I see it. My slims have been terribly lacking in shoes for ages

[DollyKim]

Ken shoes won't fit Slims, feet are too wide. Off the top of my head I can't think of any but Obitsu shoes that fit.
