My brother was shopping for a new SD card when he saw this Barbie.

He knew that I liked the movie so he bought her for me.

 

I am always a bit squeamish when buying things for myself.

 

With the uncertainties revolving my current situation, my doll spending has been reduced to zero.

 

It is for this reason that my brother bought me this doll without telling me. He wanted to put a smile on my face.

 

And he succeeded in this department. This is the first Barbie I have owned in ages.

 

I left the bulk of them in the old country. I wasn’t able to take my toys with me.

 

We were only able to pack the bare essentials. It was only recently that I got into buying dolls. First, I started with BJD Dolls.

 

The LOL Dolls and this Barbie I got as a thoughtful present. As soon as I got my Barbie, I decided to put her to work.

 

This is her first official photoshoot. I was testing out the flexibility of her limbs. She has nice sturdy limbs.

 

She is able to maintain a pose easily. Her legs do not bend up so much. Still, I am able to work around it.

 

The outfit has a nice flowy feel to it. I took standing, sitting, lying down and portrait photographs of my new Barbie.

 

She is quite the photogenic doll. The first thing I did was arrange the set. I chose a simple checkerboard pattern for the floor and a white fan for the main background.

 

I also used a mirror prop, as well as a small miniature background set. I added two Greek vase.

 

With everything in place, all that was left was for me to take photos of the cute Barbie. This was quite the interesting first attempt.

 

Her blonde hair has an interesting texture to it. It is not silky straight. Then again, Barbies are meant to be wrapped in plastic.

 

It was a total pain to get her out of the box. With some luck, this Barbie will not end up like weird Barbie.

 

After the photoshoot, I got my Barbie to try on some of the outfits belonging to my bjd dolls.

 

She happened to be the same dress size as my 1/6 bjd dolls. She is a tad skinnier, but nothing that a ribbon around her waist cannot fix.

 

It is convenient that my Barbie is the same size as my bjd dolls.

It saves me the trouble of having to buy outfits specifically for her.

 

I think I ranted enough about Barbie. I took 24 photos of the new doll in total.

 

I hope you find these photographs amusing. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
