NEW I LOVE LUCY BARBIE!!

I have finally found out what the 2010 'I Love Lucy' Barbie looks like! She's from the episode 'Lucy Tells the Truth' from the 3rd season, episode #72. I am so happy; she's adorable! What do you think of her?

I Love Lucy Barbies

Now that I have eight I Love Lucy Barbie dolls, I want to give sort of a "synopsis" of each one, just in case anyone wants to get one.

1. Lucy Does a TV Commercial- Comes in Lucy's plaid dress that she wore in the episode, with an adorable hat and a bottle (of vitametavegemin) and a spoon. As far as I know, this is the only one that has the episode written on the stand.
2. Lucy Gets in Pictures- Comes in the outfit that Lucy wore in the episode, with a gigantic headdress, bathing-suit type outfit, fishnet tights, and shoes that say Lucy Ricardo on the bottoms, like in the episode.
3. Lucy's Italian Movie- This one has what I think is the cutest face of all of them. Lucy wears the lacy blouse and dark blue skirt that she wears in Italy, and she has a bunch of grapes that she does not hold, but I just set it down on her stand.
4. Job Switching- Comes in a grey-and-pink uniform, cute pink high-heels, and has chocolates that she holds in her hand. Also, her hat has chocolates in it!
5. Sales Resistance- This one comes in the famous polka-dotted dress, black flats, and has a white apron with red rick-rack on it. This is the most traditional of the dolls.
6. Lucy Gets a Paris Gown- Lucy's face on this one is just precious! She's wearing the oh-so-funny burlap bag, and the horse's feedsack on her head. She wears pearl earrings, a pearl pin, and a clutch with pearls on it.
7. The Ballet- It's so funny! Lucy is wearing a ballet tutu and ballet slippers. In her hair is a wreath of flowers. Her tights are very sheer, so be careful not to tear them.
8. LA at Last- This one is my favorite. Lucy wears the beautiful rhinestone-studded housecoat that she wears in the episode. She holds a coffee cup, but you need to keep the plastic on in order for it to stay in her hands. So don't take it off... I almost made that mistake. Her face is the funniest thing! She has huge glasses on, along with a nose made of putty that is "burnt".

So, that's everything! I absolutely love all of them. -Hal

Barbie "The Original Teenage Fashion Model"

So, today my mom went to Target while I was in my sewing lesson, and saw the Barbie 50th Anniversary, 1959, doll that I had my eye on. There were only two left, and when my sewing lesson was over, she told me that it was only $20.00 (reduced from $40.00)! So after lunch we ran over to Target and started hunting... finally, stashed on the top shelf, we found her! I am so happy now.

But, I have a dilemma. Should I keep her in the box, because I really like how she's set up, or should I take her out and have her on display in my room? Please comment and give me your opinion!
