Barbie Fashion Through History PART 1
Way back in the late 60’s before I was “old enough” to have a real Barbie my mother bought me a knock off plastic Barbie at our local Acme grocery store. After I was a mature 7 years old and deemed responsible enough to be gifted a real Barbie (brunette Twist and Turn 😁) I relegated my Acme doll to be Barbie’s mother because they had similar eyes 😂. Fortunately my real Barbie could sit in a much more ladylike position unlike her plastic “mom” 😅
Удивительная коллекция ❤Мне нравятся винтажные барби, но я не покупаю их, поскольку думаю, что они уже находятся на стадии разложения и гниения. Поэтому я покупаю современные Barbie Silkstone и обычные с молдом first ever.
I just got the original tutti and another skipper. I think I have five tuttis and I have Miss Buffy. Also, your collection is the coolest collection I’ve ever seen !!!
Great video! Love these dolls! And I like your shirt!!
Absolute Barbie heaven! Im quietly screaming!
OMG, this is so amazing! Y’all are so lucky to have such a fabulous collection!! Y’all ever go and look at all the dolls and then jump up and down screaming like a little girl by chance? Because I totally would😂
I kind of LOVE that mermaid tadpole. 🤣
For your #1 Brunette fund 💝 As always, an enjoyable and informative video❣️ Thank you❣️❣️
Thank you again! You’re amazing!!!! Really appreciated 💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love both you and Joey's channels so much. You guys are so cute. Keep being you and doing what you do. ❤
Thank you so much!!💖💖
Lol some of the babies are so tiny 😂 And why does the tattoo on the mermaid disappear after she gives birth?😅 Thanks for another fun video!
I wondered that about the tattoo! lol guess it wasn’t in the budget 💖
I think the baby doll/dolls with babies thing was less about training girls to be moms, and more about a time when a girl wanted to be like their mom. Kids want to be grown up, they look at the grown ups in their life and want to imitate them. The idea that a woman's primary role is to be a parent and housekeeper persists to this day. I think the attraction of pregnant dolls for kids is the mystery around where babies come from for them. It's like magic for them - how does mom's swelling belly = I get a new sibling? I think the only pregnant doll I had was one of those anatomy dolls. Whenever sis and I played dolls, we always made the men pregnant, kept them dressed like cave men, and beat them when supper wasn't ready lol.
haha nice. Yeah I agree. Being pregnant is a part of adulthood and therefore something kids might want to imagine themselves as. I really don’t see the scandal 💖
💛💛💛
Germany, right? They are progressive and not afraid of pregnant mermaid! 😂 I find those dolls factinating, and I am glad they are there. I think there is this phase in many girls lives when they start to be curious about the pregnancy, giving birth and such. I think that adults sometimes don't understand that for kids it doesn't do anything with sex, but more like this what is body capable of... Anyway I am glad those dolls are around so kids can explore this phase or whatever they like. I was 11 years old in 2002, so I was more into fashion dolls and Happy family didn't get my attention back then, but again, it is cool idea and I like there are also more mature looking dolls represented in the family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah I thought it was strange that kids were given baby dolls so often, to pretend they were mothers, but somehow these are just too innapropriate. lol
thank you for sharing love barbie
My pleasure!💖
You forgot Miss Suzette by Uneeda Doll Company and her successor Wendy. They are very collectible today, actually pretty and well made dolls for the times. Both were straight legged and non posing bodies like early Barbie. I believe Miss Suzette came out in 1962.
Nice catch! Yeah you don’t hear people talking about her much. A bit like Tressy with the large head. Definitely cute 💖
I'm really enjoying how engaged your guest is. How refreshing. ❤ thank you for showing your doll collection.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!💖
🤗🖤♥️😍🧜🏻♀️🔥🎈🤸🏻♀️♥️🎈🧚🏻
The Jem and the holograms shirt is awesome!
Thank u!💖
love you both
Back at ya!💖
Now I have seen everything!
Omg I have always found dolls to be creepy. Please go look for my other message. Wait to hear from you.
I need 2 talk 2 you, got literally truckload of dolls don’t know what do, lotsa Barbie’s, dolls back 2 1940’s
Of course the 1940s does or not barbie, wish I could’ve helped you with this. It would’ve been nice to have somebody on the sidelines not to take any light from you. just wouldn’t it be nice to have a girl somewhere in the mix and I studied the history of fashion and costume, Barbie’s fashion is such a mirror of human history.
If you want some pointers about selling, how bout you message me on insta and I’ll check out what you have! 💖💖
@@Thedollswitness by end of weekend…ty
Hello - Bought the Rockers Stage Set back in around 1997 from a Collector. Can you believe that I still have not opened it? Must get to it soon after this, set it up and place the figures. Thanks for getting us all inspired now - just what we needed. Enjoy your structures ...
Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve had the rockers set for ages and just never got around to it. Totally fun sets 💖
This was hilarious! I love mermaid dolls, so now I'm going to have to try and get the pregnant mermaid doll! Did you know that Takara/Tomy brought out a pregnant Licca-Chan doll for the Japanese market? She's supposed to be Licca grown-up in the future. The doll came with the pregnant belly attached to her by a locking mechanism, and you had to send off separately for the key to unlock it, and the baby!
Haha I think the mermaid is still on Amazon! And I didn’t know that about the Takara doll! That’s awesome thanks!💖
Beautiful brides. I did not know that all of these existed. Thank you for sharing. I think there are a few more that came much later than she missed. But regardless, these are great. And you totally should have a wedding Barbie shelf. That would be so awesome!👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah there were more brides that came later but the quality just wasn’t the same 💖
Great vid!!!! 😂
Thank you!
I was wanted to get her. But as an adult I have one and I also have a reproduction. The Peach and white dress was a nice change. instead of the pink many other Barbies dresses. Even though I love pink, peach was a nice change.
Love peaches and cream. Easy to see why she was so popular. All that chiffon 😍🔥🔥
@@Thedollswitness yes definitely! The frilly that definitely makes the dress and I love the bodies. I have noticed that only a few dolls had a bodice like that and I just think it just adds to the 1980s and just really also makes the dress pop.!
And I also love it that y’all are guys, and y’all are so passionate about Barbies and all about the details and everything. It’s awesome. And it makes me love my dogs even more to see somebody so passionate about theirs and wanna share their love and their hobby with everybody else that everybody can talk about their Barbies and what not.my family thinks I’m nuts, but I’m glad that there are so many people out there like y’all that just love Barbies and just can’t get enough of them❤
I love y’all’s videos! I have western fun Barbie and safari Barbie, but I do not astronaut Barbie. I had a kid but her rest of my Barbies in the garbage, or donated at church without my knowledge. 😢 hopefully I’ll get her again one day. She was one of my favs. If y’all have any more of the western horse loving cowgirl tule Barbies, y’all could do a video of these? I’d love to see this- personally
Thank you! I’ve been thinking about doing a western themed video sometime, but there’s a couple of pieces I want to get first. 💖💖
Oh I have that wheelchair Becky. I mistakenly let me daughter play with it, and broke the wheeelcbair😭, but I still have it displayed with my other Barbies. What do you do the boxes, the box the dolls?
Becky’s great! If it’s a silkstone or pricey collector doll I usually keep the box, but otherwise there’s just not room in my house. 💖
Oh I have that wheelchair Becky. I mistakenly let me daughter play with it, and broke the wheeelcbair😭, but I still have it displayed with my other Barbie’s
Dude, I just realized you had a Barbie tattoo on your arm! Do you have more? If so you should do a video about your tattoo? Totally hair Barbie- she’s one of my favs! I have the brunette, and blonde, and Ken. Yes, I always wondered why more Barbies didn’t have long hair like this?
That’s my only Barbie tattoo but I’d get another if I could think of something good. lol love totally hair 🔥🔥💖
@@ThedollswitnessI draw and paint- just for fun. But I could give you some designs if you like?
Not the mermaid having a worm inside her belly 😭😂 I actually had a pregnant Steffi Love in the mid 2000s as a kid! They looked EXACTLY like this 15-20 years ago as well with that same facesculpt, hair & the thin brows with frosted eyeshadow. It’s really odd that they never changed Steffi Love’s appearance ever again since the early 2000s again!
Oh cool! Yeah that’s strange they wouldn’t update her. I mean the sculpt is fine but kids want a little variety lol 💖
I would have loved a pregnant doll. I was just always interested in human anatomy. I doubt my parents would have given me one though. They hated “real” questions.
Yeah a lot of parents hate having to explain basic parts of life to their kids. lol it’s totally a fun toy💖
The child bride having a baby is very disturbing 😂
No kidding 😬lol 💖
Omg that kangaroo kids having kids doll! 😱🤣😱🤣
Haha right?🦘❤️
@@Thedollswitness 👍🤣
"Now let's see what her baby situation looks like." 😄😄 Too funny! This was interesting. I hadn't heard of some of these.
glad you enjoyed! Was a fun vid to make❤️❤️
What a fun and informative video! Always love your videos, keep them up!
Thank you so much!!❤️
4:58 - now there's a sound I wouldn't have expected to come out of a pregnant fashion doll!
And see I always thought… that mermaids… would lay eggs 🤣😂🤣😂😂
I don’t know why I didn’t think of that! You’re totally right lol❤️🧜♂️
I found a pregnant, porcelain doll, M and antique store ones which are Beasley didn’t have the removing mechanism so she’s pregnant all the time. I obviously bought it because it was the most random thing I’ve ever seen. sorry for any typos I am blind so I speak into my phone and it doesn’t always get what I say correct
Nice, I was actually going to mention a pregnant porcelain doll I found online but thought it might take up too much time. Might be the one you have. I thought it was super cool!❤️❤️
@@Thedollswitness yeah I have no idea what the brand was, but it was just so random. I couldn’t leave without it.
The merbaby set was everything. I do have a few Steffi's including a pregnant one but not a pregnant Merperson!
Haha when I saw the mermaid family it was a no brainer. Had to have her lol ❤️
I had a pregnant Susy doll back in the early 90s. Her pregnancy gimmick was another one than the ones used by Judith, Steffi and Midge. Her belly flips around in a way that both the round and the flat belly can be on the inside, both with and without the baby inside (so the flat belly works as a lid for the round belly). I now have several pregnant dolls, including older Steffi Loves that are more square and have a larger baby that looks like something between Judith's baby and Midge's baby. And recently I got a pregnant Anlily doll. Her body is just like newer Steffi Love, while her baby is in one piece (no articulation) and is sleeping.
Nice! Thanks! There were good amount of these in the 90s and so little info out there about them. ❤️❤️
I literally laughed when you said we'll assume he's the father, who know's. Damn, I didn't know Steffi Love was like that. LMAO!
Well we never know what’s going on behind the scenes. lol ❤️❤️
When it comes to Barbie, you guys really know how to do it!!!! You are a fountain of important information and you make it really FUN!!! Your knowledge and love of Vintage and Mod Barbie and Friends, and your collection of course makes me want to watch your videos ALL day! Much love........CHEERS 💜☮️🌈🌠
Thank you so much!! Happy to hear you’re enjoying them!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved this video on the very cute and adorable Francie doll, infact all your Barbie videos are FANTASTIC!!! Cole is correct on the history of Twiggy that definitely influenced both the Francie doll and the Casey friend. BUT please note I believe the Francie doll was also inspired by Sally Field playing the quirky 15 year old teen scene maker at the time GIDGET ( 1965--66). Her character's ( Gidget) real name was Francie Lawrence and she definitely was a hip kiddie!!! Please continue to make Mod ( Barbie) doll videos because you guys ROCK!!! ALL MY BEST...johnny 🌠 🎶🎶🎶🎶✨☀️✨🌹🌿🌈💜☮️✨
Aw thank you so much! Definitely a great point about Gidget! Her sculpt looks a bit like her too. Happy to hear you’re enjoying the vids!❤️❤️
¡Hola from Barcelona! David here I just discovered your channel few day ago and today I got the courage to post on here with me broken English 🙃 You got an impressive collection Jack!!! I enjoyed so much the way you introduce yourself and the collection. You reminded me my love for Christie especially through the Mod and 70's era 💜 Very grateful for your generosity in showing your collection! Cheers
Welcome! And thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the vids! Christie is definitely my number one🔥🔥❤️❤️
Thank you for bravely going there. 😉 Very John Waters-esq video - the babies look like thanksgiving turkeys. lol Yeah not sure why some people have such a problem with human bodies/functions. Everything has just been so sexualized I guess. I can see these dolls being useful to help children understand the concept of human development/ birth, especially for expecting families.
Thank you! lol yeah it’s weird that sex and marriage played such a big role in its controversy. Hardly a scandalous toy 💖
Thank you for bravely going there. Very John Waters-esq video ☺️ The babies look like thanksgiving turkeys. lol Yeah not sure why some people have such a problem with human bodies/functions. Everything has just been so sexualized I guess. I can see these dolls being useful to help children understand the concept of human development/ birth, especially for expecting families.
Thank you! Yeah I think a lot of it stems from parents worried that their kids will seriously romanticize pregnancy and want it for themselves as soon as possible. lol it’s ridiculous ❤️
My nextdoor neighbour had Judith, it's was definitely fun to mess around with. I've been obsessed with that stupid mermaid family since I first saw it, it's so hard to not buy the thing.
Haha yeah when I was thinking about making this video I knew I had to have the mermaid or I probably wouldn’t film it. lol ❤️
My mother said Oh no you're not going to play with those.. sad that I had teenage friends that wanted to slob on the knob like corn on the cob. And I was like hey anybody want to play Barbies. 😅😂😅😅😅😅😂 No?! 😔 My mom said to me. No way I'm getting you that doll.. you're a working girl.. she bought me some business Barbie.. Let me tell you a little psychology. If my mother would have thrown more of those things at me. And treated career woman as know you don't want that. A child will always yearn for exactly what you speak against. Be careful what you speak against. Mind that this reverse psychology. Can actually help your child. Especially if directing them in certain means.. hey lighting a path is not illegal. And later in life I explained to my mother. She was the businesswoman. And I was the mother. I wore the apron.. I literally did.. but because she was such a busy woman and a functioning addict.. she never had the time to see that everything she did. Made me want to become the exact complete opposite. So she was ruthless. She could make money so quick. I'm telling you within a few days my mother could go from zero to $5,000. Shocking how she did that I don't want to know. Yeah it was probably bad. But literally. If you don't want your kid going down a certain road. Do not say, no you can't have that. No you don't want that. You will make it exactly what they thrive and Will survive for. Children will see all your wrongs. Your prejudgment. Of what your child should be. Be very careful with that.. give them an open range. Never direct towards one against the other. My mother did a great job. I love my life.. her shittiness was my triumph.. every detail I couldn't stand I thrived to be completely the opposite of her. She was a burn the bra type. And give me that apron. I didn't have my first child until I was 27. After I had a shotgun wedding. That's one hell of a story. Last year at my 20th. My husband says why do you always say that. I said Lord have mercy with all the technology we have today. You never bothered to look that up. He came back 5 minutes later oh my gosh I'm so sorry. 😅😅😅😅😅😅 I said that's okay. Hand me my apron. 🎉😂🎉
Haha that was a journey! I was the same as a kid. If I couldn’t have something because it was ‘inappropriate’ I would find a way to make it mine at some point. ❤️❤️
