shari @ little blue deer said...

Oh, how fun! Brings back the BEST memories, I LOVED Barbie when I was little (secretly still do!). Fabulous post! So clever!

Marija said...

Okay can I be honest? I am TOTALLY freaked out by the mirror and the game thingy?! The dream house I can handle, but all those barbies lined up I are so creepy!

The Shiny Pebble said...

Hillarious! I love the shoe ring. And before I knew they were barbies, the mirror looked AWESOME!

Diana Mieczan said...

Hahahah...When I was little I had that beautiful Barbie with a pink gown and a crown...oh I remember how much I loved playing with her!
Look at those Barbie shoe rings? Oh, it makes me smile!
Thanks for that!
Great post!

Tammy@InStitches said...

Awesome ! That ring took me a minute to figure out.....

The Neo-Traditionalist said...

The mirror is my favorite---Adler is so hilarious. Fabulous!

Staley Mc said...

I love the Barbie Adler collection so cute!

OneCraftyFox said...

These are too much fun!!

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Love it....fun post!

lisaroy said...

these are awesome! love the mirror but the shoe rings are great - would have been great to make with all those single barbie shoes since i always managed to lose one!

I got the townhouse for Christmas one year. It had an elevator and I thought it was the best thing in the whole world.

Katie Lynn said...

The image is actually a print from Etsy shop "Studio Lyon". You should look her up -- She has some very cute things! I also have a small link credit at the bottom of yesterday's post. :)

Katie Lynn said...

P.S. I'm pretty sure I would actually wear one of those Barbie shoe rings for a fun night out!

The Buzz said...

My nine year old son picked out a pink and white Barbie basketball (proceeds go to breast cancer research) the other day at the store and said "Mom, may I?" and I said "But it's pink!" and he said, "Don't you like Barbie???" Enough said!

Elizabeth said...

Unfortunately, Barbies just make me bitter because they were my older sister's thing and she would never share. But throw an American Girl doll at me and I am set. I guess that's why I'm such a nerd now :)

SogniSorrisi said...

I am pretty jealous of the Louboutin Barbie.

Josie said...

Barbie is literally the greatest thing ever. I love the shoe ring!

SweetOnVeg said...

I have a huge smile on my face right now!! Ohmygoodness, it's been so long since I've thought of those barbie shoes. That used to be so much fun dressing them in different styles!

CCWai said...

I love these Barbies! They are so chic!

Debra said...

I had that very first Barbie! My Uncle was the owner of a toy shop and he gave it to me as a gift...now that tells you more than you needed to know... I wish I had kept her!
And... he gave her to me when I was still in the womb...........................

Dancing Branflake said...

Haha. That Barbie shoe ring is awesome. I love Barbie... although I know I'm a little too old to admit that.

Kathysue said...

I must be getting old, the foos ball table freaked me out. Poor Barbie without arms, they should have joined the arms then they would have looked like the Rockettes Barbie style. I can imagine playing with the doll house so I guess I still have an inner 8yr.old in here somewhere!!

Averill said...

That fuseball table definitely creeps me out a bit -- Barbie has lost her arms!

Sketch42 said...

I never owned a barbie... Dolls were not my thing. I used to copy words off the blackboard in nursery school... More proof that personality is really inborn!

Sarah Esther said...

hahahaha... great tribute to the doll who inspires us all :)

La Dolfina said...

Great post!!! So fun!!!
Barbie was born the same year as moi. How does she do it?

Paper Squid said...

I loved playing with my Barbie dolls when little. I think my older sister had that exact dream house and my mom says she found me trying to get in it, lol. I guess I wrecked them too. :)
Great post.

Debby Lee said...

I love Barbie!! I always tried to get my daughter to play when she was little but she never got into it. lol

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

Life in plastic, it's fantastic indeed! This post totally made me happy :)

So loving the Barbie foosball. OMG amazing!!!

All things nice... said...

Wonderful website :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. You have brought my childhood back to me with the barbie dolls, I loved them as a child :) Barbie was always so stylish and her house was always lovely pinks :)

All things nice...

What a trip, Sue! I had a first editon Barbie (actually, I still do) when I was a preteenager. I remember playing with her until I was at least 13. At that time, little bitty girls didn't play with Barbies because they were semi-anotomically correct! What a hoot. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Oh, and the creative Mr. Adler is amazing in the way he has created design with her form...very smart marketing strategy too. Who from my generation wouldn't want those!

Emelie Stanfield said...

A Barbie Foosball table!! Genius.

Jaime @ La vie...J'aime said...

Ha this is so fun- going to include in my Friday Faves tomorrow :)

Mary Ann said...

wow, artistically created! i started taping 9 by design and cant wait to watch it...i love reality shows verbena cottage

Stephanie said...

My little girl never played with Barbie much. My sister said it had something to do with my telling her with those eyebrows and that hair, no way she was a natural blonde. My little 3 year old would nod along as if she knew exactly what I meant.

Amy @ Varnish said...

So that's where all my barbie shoes went!!!!!!

Cashon&Co said...

okay, this was great. brought back a flood of memories of my Skipper where you twist her arms around and she grows boobs. and she had a big patch of hair missing on the top. i want that ring with the barbie shoes!

junghwa by amy stewart said...

Barbie! I loved Barbie when I was a little girl. I had a few. I liked to cut their hair. Haha.

GIVEAWAY time!

These are fabulous!!!

traci zeller designs said...

You and me both, sister! I loooooved Barbie. Mine always ran a boutique, and my primo item for sale was a fur coat. Fabulous!! I so want to buy the Jonathan Adler Barbie furniture just 'cause. I'll have to let you know when I post about my new client who is moving into what she calls the "Barbie Dream House." She sent me the funniest thing that I just have to share!

Karena said...

I guess maybe I have outgrown Barbie, a doll that she is!!

Have you seen the new limited-edition Louboutin Barbie? She comes complete with four pairs of Louboutins-- what a fabulous life. I lived and breathed my Barbie dream house when I was a little girl. Haven't thought about it in months.. that picture is bringing back memories!

Sanity Fair said...

These are so fun - but I think that Barbie mirror looks more like an old fashioned swim scene from a musical - you know, where everyone is swimming in formation in the water!

Kristin said...

Ahhhhhhhhh, I miss my Dream House!!

Charlotta Ward said...

Yes those were the days!
I never had the house. I got the campervan instead.. complete with fold out jacuzzi and horse trailer.. Oh man I LOVED that car!

That first image reminds me of an Esther Williams movie scene.. Something out of 'Through Fire and Water'.. Hilarious and deliciously camp!

Happy weekend dear!

Cornflake said...

Wow, these must be serious collectors items!

The barbie shoe rings are cool, I guess we could all recycle our barbie accessories...that is, if we knew where we can still find them, lol!

Bailey@ peppermintbliss said...

That Barbie foosball table is just about the funniest damn thing I have ever seen.
