Thanks so much! Glad you liked the soundtrack 😊 I'm similar to you ... I don't collect anything after the early-mid 80's.

Thanks Deany! 😘 LOL I know, right? It took me long enough to debox her... and now I am glad I did! Ooooohhh I can't wait to see your rendition of 'Commuter Set'... and have I seen your 'Day to Night' one yet? You need to bring it over next weekend if you have finished it as we can dress some office gals in it! 😜 I would also love to see what you would come up with for the 70's office look! I have so many US Vogues from the 70's that were all about the working woman! (Something Halston-ish or YSL-ish, perhaps? Even maybe Calvin Klein? I loved all the russet-y brown-ish/cream/tan tailored looks that Jane Fonda wore in 'The China Syndrome' and that coincidentally Faye Dunaway also wore in 'Network!' A lot of that was Calvin Klein, I think.)

No, as I don't collect Barbies past 1985. I DID have the 1982 Horse Lovin' Skipper as a kid, though!

I also love a transformable outfit... My very first Barbie as a kid was 'Pretty Changes' because she came with so many interchangeable outfit pieces and even a long blonde fall and a brunette wig! And I'm glad you liked the fashion history. That was fun to do!! Thanks for commenting. 😊 (Did you like the shout-out? I even used 'Chanel-y' a couple of times! LOL)

I bought them all already repaired, with the exception of that Stacey that - believe it or not! - STILL talks without having been repaired as the seller's mother pulled that string every week for 50+ years!!! I still do the same with her, but she IS starting to get a little slow now.

Thanks for commenting! Look for the Arco Fashion Doll office playset from 1985 as that includes the diorama, or you can easily make one yourself by printing out whatever skyline pic you choose and gluing it onto stiff cardboard!

Thanks so much!!! 😘 Yeah, I had to blast them with a hairdryer to even get them on! LOL

Good spotting with the music! 😉 I really wanted some 80's instrumental that was also very 'big city' if that makes sense.... And I remember that movie the song was from 'Two of a Kind' was set in New York so there ya go! LOL I also used another instrumental from Olivia for my 80's Great Shape dolls video! ('Physical' of course! LOL) Fun fact:- I also have a Barbie 30th anniversary magazine that has an interview with Olivia Newton John and how she and her daughter love Barbie!

@@fashiondolldreamer Wow Olivia loved Barbie as well!!!! Now that’s cool! 😎

I unbuttoned the skirt to have a little peek and no stains on the legs. Yeah, I discovered I had copies of both the US and UK versions, so thought I'd show the differences between the two commercials.

@@fashiondolldreamer Thanks, I was just looking at the reversible fashions (Twice as Nice) and was wondering about the staining risks. I guess 40 years without staining is pretty safe.

Thank you!!! I did a little research into the Estrela Barbies from Brazil and there was a similar doll available in 1987 called 'Night and Day' Barbie, but wearing a seafoam blue/green outfit! So your country had their own variation of her!!! 😘

@@fashiondolldreamer Wow! I didn't know it! Thanks for the information. BTW: I love your channel, your collection is amazing and you're super kind ☺️

@@user-md7xs8fd9d: Oh, thanks so much! So are you!!! 😘

I had this barbie in Brazil. She is one of the few i clearly remember. Me and my sister won the caucasiano one. I remembed more the day outfit than the nigth one.

​@@fashiondolldreamer mine was exactly as this one in the vídeo.

Thanks so much! Stay tuned for more soon. ;)

Thank you so much! What a wonderful comment. I hope you keep enjoying them! 😘

Good spotting! She actually IS!!!! I mistakenly said she was a #4 so thanks for pointing that out. 😘(And I don't know WHAT possessed me to call those American Girls #5s! I'm gonna blame it on CO-VID as this video was shot back during our first lockdown in 2020. LOL)

@@fashiondolldreamer Oh...I didn't notice that! Lol. It's a lovely display - you have some top notch dolls and outfits :)

Thank you! 😘

@@fashiondolldreamer you're welcome

Thank you! 😘

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy these videos! 😘

Thank you so much for commenting that you like my collection! 😘

Thank you!! 😘

Thank you!!! 😘Yes!!! You pull a string that's attached to her stand (which has the ankle grips just like the soon-to-come Superstar Barbie stands!) and she slides up and down the escalator... Hours of fun!!! 🤩

LOL 'Erina Fair!!!'😜 Yes, I love its era crossover appeal, too. The music is the instrumental version of 'Dancing Machine' by the Jackson 5 from 1973/74. That song always reminds me of 70's Barbie for some reason, so I had to use it. (I remember seeing some performance of it where the Jacksons were all doing those jerky movements with bent karate arms just like Fashion Photo when you put her on her stand! )

Thanks so much! 😘

Thanks so much! That's an instrumental version of 'Dancing machine' by the Jackson 5!

Thanks so much!!! 😘

Yes, good spotting! She was the convention gift from Mattel at the very first official Barbie convention that took place in New York back in 1980.

@@fashiondolldreamer Wow what an amazing piece to have! Do you still have a holy grail you're trying to get your hands on? I've always wanted the 1977 Superstar Barbie and Ken Gift Set (#2422) but it's sooo rare and hard to find. Not sure if I'll ever get it but I'm happy with my MIB regular Superstar Barbie lol

Thank you 🤗

Thank you 🤗 So do I, as you can see! LOL

Thank you!!! 😊

You're very welcome!!! Thank YOU for commenting!! 😘 The music was an instrumental version of a Barry White song, I think. Barry White and Mod Barbie go so well together! LOL 😜

Thanks so much!!! 😘 I want to live in there, too! LOL

Thank you! 😁

Thanks so much!!! Yes, Mod era goes so well with Barry White, doesn't it? 😘

Thanks so much! 😘
