Fashion Dolls 101

 ~ Barbie Red, White & Blue for Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4, Veteran’s Day ~ This Barbie line has been out for about a year now, but I haven’t posted an image yet. So here they are:the red, white and blue swimsuit Barbie and Ken, looking as patriotic and festive as Mon’s apple pie.  If you like the Stars and Stripes, this is a great patriotic swimsuit for beach and pool diorama. Pop a red skirt over it and it makes a cute top for Barbie when she’s not by the water.  Hurrah for the red, white and blue and all the patriotic holidays!

As recently reported, Chelsea and her friends are growing up! On a recent trip to Walmart, I couldn’t help but notice her new look and features again.    She is now elementary school aged with a new wardrobe.  Chelsea was adorable as a toddler and cute as a little girl, but she has her own charm as a slightly older version.  I guess Mattel will be introducing a new baby sister in a few years since Chelsea inevitably will be going the way of Kelley and Shelley.  Related Articles: Little Green Chelsea Merboy Doll The Changing Face of Chelsea, Barbie’s Youngest Sister
