This is possibly the first post of the year on Pimp My Barbie *checks, yes it is*! Happy New Year, in case you didn’t see me post it in the 100 or so social networks I’m a member of lol. I’ve been super busy with various projects and so anytime I’m writing here, here or here it really is my ‘hobby time’ and if there are no fresh posts it means I’m busy doing my big girl writing job. Best bet is to follow me on Twitter @cuteek and @pimpmybarbie
Ok down to the nitty gritty, I bought a pink Barbie Hoodie in Primark – it’s a blonde ponytail Barbie, doing a wink and kiss with Barbie logo above her head, surrounded by a heart. It was 14€ and I almost yanked the rail off the wall looking for my size, but I wasn’t worried as there were about 40 of them hanging up. I love it because obviously, it has Barbie on it, but also because it’s not a really thick hoodie and that’s a good thing when you live in a climate with 20ºc plus all year round. I did post about this in my other blog Cuteek, but for those of you who don’t read I HAD to post here too!
Moving on, my Disney Princess Belle doll that I received as a gift a few Christmases ago from my lovely Nan is having a hair SOS! I’m really upset about it as she is such a beautiful doll, you may have seen my tweet about it.
Here she is on the pic in the left the day I got her, with glossy hair – and on the right more recently with bigger looking hair, unplayed with just displayed and her hair is coming off in my hand or when I pick her up. It’s almost like split ends!
This hasn’t happened with any of my other dolls, even the ones that were displayed next to her. I don’t even want to attempt to brush or boil style her hair for fear of what might happen, but do I have any choice? Should I try to re-root her hair? Should I brush it to see if it’s just the ends? Is this a problem with the Disney Belle doll or Mattel Belle dolls too? Please if you have any advice or this has happened to your dolls tell me what to do in the comments.
In other news, My Little Pony is slowly taking over my desk as I become a ‘Brony’ or ‘Pegasister’ (MLP Friendship is Magic fan names). I do have some of the original ponies, I think one is rare, I will have to get them out and do a proper photo of them altogether with the newer gen. Anyway, these smaller My Little Ponies are from McDonald’s Happy Meals and as soon as I saw them I just wanted to eat my weight in burgers.
They are quite different from the MLP’s I had as a kid in the sense that the eyes are bigger and more Kawaii looking? So far I have 2 Pinkie Pies, 1 Twilight Sparkle and 2 Fluttershys although there are 6 different ones to collect.
I think they make sweet friends for my Littlest Pet Shop Blythe dolls, don’t you agree?
