Good Morning, all Dolly Lovers....
This is Barbie Movie premier week..
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
and my idea all started in the last post, when BMR found this great outfit for an evening outdoor concert event.
Clearly the BARBIE movie is EVERYWHERE and stills and movie clips have flooded every computer, tv, and podcast....and influencing Everyone.

My homage to the movie will be in Vickie's....Let's see what her staff has cooked up for us! This photo cracked me up---could it be any brighter!!??
Frankly, neon is really retro...and I seldom use the vast array of 80-90's miscellaneous clothes I have thrift collected mostly in mixed batches. But, summer is the perfect time and even BMR bit the Neon magic...so here comes
What says summer more than NEON everything!!
 |

I dressed Vickie and her staff in Neon outfits, this and that, old and new... for a tour of the store.

Let's face it some of the summer duds are adorable...even if full of crazy colorful patterns.
 |

Of course the superstar era is also full of neon...this outfit never shows up except for Halloween, but it's adorable.
 |

My doll room is still not totally unpacked, and the roller skates are SOMEWHERE....I'll probably find them at Christmas.
One of the other trends in the movie is the Western themes,....so we selected one side of the carousel to have all red/blue, denim, and western wear.

Totally fun, this outfit is classic.

Vickie paired this Pink set with new boots...!
 |

The girls had fun with movie photos behind the accessory shelves...just a hint of what we can expect on Friday Opening Night. The travel pieces work well here, since Mattel made so many.

I love yellow and it fights the pink and brings it all down a notch. And of course it is
ALL about Accessories.
 |

Headbands and hair ties, belts and of course purses!

Vickie says it's been hard keeping jewelry current!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Honestly---how many sport shoes do you need...
TOO MANY!!!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
I confess, I used every single bit of neon I have for these displays. (Even some duplicates)
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Not everything is Neon, but summer colors---even red, white, and blue to go with the Western
goodies. My western boots are awol...along with half of everything else in the basement upset.

Carly is in a fresh summer dress and manning the phones and the checkout desk.
 |

Since the pandemic, Vickie's has taken (fictitious) orders over the phone and on their (fictitious) website.
 |

Since the Resort shop is still not unpacked, El has put together this great wall of JUST KEN! Some old and new fashions for poor KEN.
This 'Ken' thing, is so funny!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
I finally found some matching paper to extend these walls up with foam core. I still have to do the other side of the shop. Upside of using foam core, pushpins are great for switching up displays. The rest of Vickie's walls. are plywood.

El is a petite, and so many things swallow her...but she is so cute and has so much personality...I have to include her.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Upstairs, Zoe has switched up the Bridal Salon with a dose of Neon.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
This is the first time the mannikins haven't been in formal or Halloween wear...and this is too much fun! We've opted for some toned down neon paired with black to blend with the gray bodies.
 |

 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
I wonder what they think of their outfits?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
I've poured over all the stills of the movie, and I think the iconic dress is there..perhaps envisioned a bit differently.
Hope you enjoyed this little peek into the operations of Vickie's Vintage.
Don't forget Friday, July 21......
