My Dolls in Green for March!

Ad-Free Blog

Life is crazy here at our house...there just hasn't been much time to play with the dolls. Spring is poking around the corner soon, so here is some wishful thinking,

Let's make it GREEN!

You can't do a Green March post without St. Patrick's Day being mentioned.

Chicago has a huge party and parade on St.Paddy's Day, they even dye the Chicago River GREEN....

Here the outgoing Queen crowns the New St. Patrick's Day Queen

Of course they are in their most gorgeous Green.

My repro dons a vintage green swimsuit...perfect for her complexion.

Gowns always seem to land in Vickie's Vintage...perfect for another Queen.

Vicky sports a great dress with greens and blues. Vicky loves green and wears it often.

Some real old vintage shows up , now and then. This 70's jumpsuit is quite the piece and neon, too.

Speaking of OLD...Barbie no.3 1959 wears this 'Swinging Easy' 1963 green dress.

I made this turtleneck when I first collected dolls, and everyone has worn it..Here is Zoe...perfect color for her and her Margarita.

"What's up Doc"...a Bugs Bunny dress, perfect for Spring and Carly is modeling.

Most of my dolls have jobs and work...Trish's Blue Sprinkling Can is busy now and she is watering plant starts in the greenhouse.

Loving this cute teen Skipper outfit...with a pineapple purse...greenish Yellow...fun for Spring.

Seems someone (Ryan) has had two many Guiness and sports a green jacket and scarf while visiting Wisconsin.

Barbie's Office in the townhouse is wonderful lime green. Catch that bench, in green too. Many of my doll rooms are green themed.

Handsome Ian sports a Mattel Shirt and a haircut, but he looks great in anything.

How do your dolls Look in GREEN?

All my dolls are thrift store finds except the redhead Repro, and my 1959 childhood doll No.3 whom I call Barbara M Roberts.

Happy Birthday Ken! You look GREAT for 60

AD-Free Blog

Can you believe Ken is 60!

Remember what he looked like?

Almost like the guy on the back of comic books who wanted to get beefed up for the beach. Very thin...serious, and he had a fuzzy head.

March 1961, I was 13. I remember when the first Kens came out---my friends all thought he was a bit strange. Next to the original Barbie he looked okay, but...LOL.

I don't have an original Ken...so many of the later Kens are much more interesting, and I really want articulated Kens/guys for my stories, not always an easy task.

Since I have acquired--I'm not going to say collect, as I am basically a rescuer, I've sure have found a bunch of Kens since 2015.

A few of my Mattel dolls celebrating the old man in the middle. I realized all my photos had face masks on from this year...so these guys are breaking the rules. Just pretend it's another time, another place!

Barbieoldnewgreenredo

This group is up in the mountains for a guy weekend.

A fishing trip means a Under Sea Cake! And of course a Happy Birthday Cubs cake...!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

My newest guy is the BMR 1959 on the right. He is the palest of all the dolls except for one of the BTS guy! And he has makeup on!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Back at the HFIM house the rest of my Mattel guys are celebrating in the backyard.

Again... pretend it is another time and place...no masks!

Ryan(right): How does it feel to be 60, Dad?

Dad (Todd): GREAT! Let's get this party started, kid! Put the burgers on!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jack the Lamplighter, Skater guy, New KEN (articulated) and Shaggy Ken...all ready to party!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Just a few older shots of my Kens.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ryan's Dad, Todd, is just a cool dude!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Last year, Henri met Emilie in the park, and we have never seen his face, LOL

barbieoldnewgreenredo

He's quite a hunk, Professor Higgins ...so he is

'enri 'iggins...joke!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lots of blond princes in the cast here. AA Tres is a Flavas Mattel doll...and articulated. I've tried to increase my AA dolls, it isn't easy to find AA articulated guys.

Next to him on the right is a My Scene doll...his big head just is out of place with the others.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

One thing about putting them all together, is I realized I have three of the 'Stuart' lower right dolls...so maybe I can give Patrick (back row right) a new body. He will be featured as the owner of the new bar/music venue...coming up soon.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Alan is a repro...pretty cute, but so stiff!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

This is a photo of all my guys in 2019. Since then, their numbers have increased.

Dr. Ken (lower right) moved out of the HFIM house, and Kevin his brother is now a mannikin in Vickie's Vintage, but replaced by the new articulated Ken (wheelchair).

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Malibu Ken.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

These two guys are related, hair parted differently, and one is articulated.

One of the AA Stefan dolls---made up to look like James Baldwin.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Very handsome doll, he has had a hair trim.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Allan is Midge's old boyfriend...story on going!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

So all My Kens just want to wish...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

all the Kens Happy 60th Birthday!!!

Jamie Cooks:Superbowl

Jamie is on his own planning the weeks menus. Which includes Super Bowl Sunday.

Jamie: According to the questionnaires I had everyone fill out---they said---Fresh and healthy food is what they want.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Well, that makes Super Bowl FOOD null and void. Let's see if I can find a happy medium?"

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Jamie: I only have nine guys opting for dinner and no ladies...that should be easy enough. Fresh and Healthy...okay, well we have to have some sausage!

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
