Fashion Dolls 101

Faith and begorrah! It's St. Patrick's Day Eve! You know, the traditional night when fashion dolls dress up in their green St. Paddy's finery to impersonate leprechauns and go looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! The Madame Alexander Fan Girl  Black Widow doll on the left is wearing a green two-piece ensemble with a Saint Patrick's Day hair clip. Next to her, the Moxie Teenz doll wears a dress borrowed from a Barbie doll knock off. On the right, Liv in a red wig (on a Jackie Evancho doll body), wears a mid-length strapless sheath made out of the same material as the Fan Girl doll's two-piece outfit. These cute dolls take being a leprechaun to a whole new fashion level. The other leprechauns will be green with envy! If you display St. Patricks Day dolls, tell us about them in the comments below. Happy St. Patrick's Day from Fashion Dolls 101! May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine ...

March 9, 2020, marked the birthday of the iconic Barbie doll, one of the world's favorite children's toys and the most popular doll on the market. Barbie dolls are sold in 150 countries around the world. The first Barbie doll was officially released by Mattel on March 9, 1959, at the New York Toy Fair at a cost of only $3. That first Barbie doll had side-glancing eyes with white irises, red lips and arched eyebrows. Her hair was styled in a ponytail with curly bangs. She had a very pale, ivory skin tone and came in blonde and brunette.  Barbie Doll's 50th Anniversary Barbie wore her famous black and white striped swimsuit and sported sunglasses and black heels. She came with either copper tubes in her feet for her first stand, or the black wire stand that lasted for much of the ponytale vintage era. Sixty years later she's more popular than ever.  On average 58 million Barbie dolls are sold each year. 60th Anniversary Barbie Doll Barbie has had well over 200 different c...

The little Tiny Treasures Woodland Fairytale Miniatures gnomes decided they were tired of living under a potted plant and moved outside to live among the toadstools.  These mushrooms popped up overnight and were just too cute a setting to ignore. The colorful gnomes make an enchanted village among the toadstools.  Related: Tiny Treasure Woodland Fairytale Miniatures Fun for Indoor Gardens http://fashion-dolls-101.blogspot.com/2018/07/tiny-treasures-woodland-fairytale.html?m=1

Michaels has been carrying some cute little miniature figures with a forest theme that are perfect for using with your indoor plants or alone in their own little woodland setting. Today the little figures were half price so I snapped up a few. My tiny gnomes were placed in a large pot which houses my dracaena for a little indoor fun. I added an intersection flat rock with a fossil I found in my yard and then thought to add an artificial flower sprig. I may add a few other odds and ends as my fairyland grows. I am not sure how well the little figures will hold up after countless waterings and listings and I avoided the cute little buildings with thatch or miss on them for that reason. In the meantime, I will enjoy the color and whimsy these little fairyland miniatures add to my indoor garden.

Nutcracker Barbie, Black Widow Fan Girls, Moxie Teenz Melrose, Jackie Evancho Madame Alexander’s Marvel Fan Girls are alike in size and appearance to Moxie Teenz and similar dolls like Jackie Evancho and other 13 1/2” - 14” fashion dolls. With similar builds, they can swap many outfits out. In this first photo both the Fan Girl and Barbie Nutcracker dolls are wearing the same Moxie Teenz Top. However, there are still some differences. The Madame Alexander Fan Girls are slimmer than Moxie Teenz and the other dolls. They can easily wear many Barbie clothes. The Black Widow Fan Girls Doll in the photo is wearing a red pleather Barbie skirt. How the Dolls Stack Up The Fan Girls Dolls have very slender necks that are not in proportion to their heads but their larger heads help them display well with the Moxie Teenz. They have skinnier arms than the other dolls. The Fan Girls are missing the twist torso and bendable ankles of the Moxie Teenz but are very poseable due to other ball...

Recently a new doll joined the Barbie friends and family collection— an apparently unnamed boy doll. First appearing with the Chelsea Club series, the cute little boy has also turned up in the new Barbie Camping Fun series of dolls with a cute fishing pole. The Barbie site at Mattel caries a picture of the original Club Chelsea boy doll, and I found the little African American male doll at Walmart.com.  All of them are cute but I think I like the little black-haired guy with the camera on his striped t-shirt that came with the Club Chelsea line the best.  What do you think of Chelsea’s new guy friend? Let me know in the comments below and if you know his name or want to share your suggestion, let us know!

Moxie Teenz, Fan Girls & other 14" friends The Moxie Teenz are known for their big eyes with rooted lashes and their moveable limbs as well as their 14" inch size. How nice it has been for them to make occasional friends along the way that share some of their attributes! In honor of the approaching 4th of July holiday, the Teenz invited their newest friends, the Madame Alexander Fan Girls, and some other friends to a July 4th party to celebrate our nation's birth, patriotism and friendship. Captain America Fan Girls doll The Moxie Teenz girls and Gavin have put on their favorite red, white and blue outfits for the party, along with two Jackie Evancho dolls (one with a Liv head) . Barbie wears a simple summer peasant skirt and top, while the Captain America Fan Girl has arrived in her original outfit. Her friend Black Widow has taken off her black gown to wear a 4th of July skirt and a top she probably borrowed from Ken or a Backstreet Boy or other boy do...
