First of all, I'm so happy you're back to reviewing silkstones :) Don't get me wrong the Integrity Toy dolls are amazing, but there's something about Barbie that is timeless. No other doll is ever going to take her place (especially when it comes to the silkstone line). I'm soooo in love with this doll, she is perfection! I love everything about her and the lingerie is just too cute for words. This is my favorite review (so far). Great job! ;)
Hi friend! Yes, I am happy to be reviewing good 'ol Babs again, too. But I do have some Integrity Toys dolls coming up, too, so you might want to avert your eyes, haha! I'm really enjoying these porcelain dolls and have already ordered another one so stay tuned for those! Hope you are well ~ xoxo
I'm doing very well, thank you for asking :) I hope you're doing well too?? Haha, don't worry, I won't avert my eyes. I always watch your reviews. I don't know much about the Integrity Toys dolls, so it might be the perfect opportunity to learn more about them by watching your upcoming reviews ;) Have a great week, friend!! :)
I totally understand your delight with finding the lingerie! My dolls from Japan (Takara) from the 1980's had underwear under their clothes, and I remember my sister and I unwrapping and undressing them for the first time and finding the lingerie. We were as thrilled as you are! Your doll is gorgeous and what lovely, tiny surprises she had for you! :>) Great review - thanks!
Aww I love that! It's these little surprises that keep us excited about dolls, don't you think? I've never heard of Takara dolls but I just looked them up and they're so cute! Glad you enjoyed the review ~ xoxo
the details are pretty dope, and the price seems very reasonable. I wouldn't get it cuz i can't trust myself with porcelain. but maybe just for the outfit. lol
It really is amazing how much detail they put into the original Barbie's (and their reproductions). I actually had no idea they did any that elaborately themed back in 1959. I guess I thought they all just came with the swimsuits originally. Thanks for another great detailed review! 😊~ 🎀👛🎀
So cute right?! I've learned that the original dolls in 1959 came in their black and white swimsuits and all the outfits came in separate fashion packs. I wish they would do that again--like how they did it with the Barbie Basics collection and all the separate fashion packs. Thanks for watching! xoxo
She's gorgeous and I love all her details! I mainly collect Fashion royalty/ Nu.Face dolls due to preference, but I have to say Barbie is the OG fashion doll! Also who doesn't enjoy a beautiful Barbie!
Gay Parisienne was originally sold as a separate fashion, though it was also available in a store display version that could have been either blonde or brunette. Those dolls were not technically 'for sale' back in 1959, but they did end up being sold in many cases, and they have turned up in collections in the years since. The fashion was only pictured in the first booklet from 1959, along with Easter Parade and Roman Holiday Separates. All three are considered among the most desirable fashions from the 900 series. There are two variants of the original Gay Parisienne vintage fashion, one with a ™ label and shoes with holes for the #1 Barbie stand, and one with an ® label and shoes without holes. This fashion has been reproduced twice, and the porcelain doll you have is the first repro version. In the early 2000s, there was a vinyl doll wearing a repro of the fashion. Incidentally, Easter Parade and Roman Holiday Separates were also reproduced in the early 90s, in a special gift set with a vinyl doll. The doll that this porcelain repro is based on is the #1 Barbie, and I'm surprised that the porcelain version doesn't have painted toenails, since the original #1 Barbie did have painted toenails.
Wow you are SUCH a pro! I love reading your feedback, thanks for sharing. Yes, I was also surprised that her toe nails are not painted because I have seen an original #1 with painted toe nails. Great backstory with the fashion. How grand it would be to revisit those good 'ol days of dolls and fashion packs separately. xoxo
I've been at this a LONG time, can you tell? :D And I would caution you against starting a Vintage collection, if you're leaning that way. They are addictive. You have been warned. ;)
I love it when dolls have underwear. It's like getting more for your money. Not my style of outfit, but she seems very well crafted and detailed. Do you also collect older gown dolls, not silkstones or repros but collector dolls circa late 90s/ 00s like Givenchy, Wedgwood, etc? If you do I'm curious to what you think about the quality of their clothing and accessories.
I don't collect many 90s/00s dolls like the ones you mentioned. They are gorgeous but dear god, I would need a new house to store it all, haha! I've been eyeing the Wedgwood doll and might get her to see what she's all about.
She is absolutely gorgeous! and so very well detailed from a better era of Mattel. I always love your expression when you open your dolls! Congrats on this stunning doll! gorgeously styled from head to toe!
Thank you for this great review, Suresh. I have her but didn't know about the beautiful lingerie..sooo lovely..until you showed me. She is a pearl between my Silkstones and repro's. Love all these classy barbies and my one and only Fashion Royalty 😉
I am looking at this video and in the "next up" autoplay bit is the video with you and Jessy Alaya, I thought before I read it it was you with some country cousin of yours... don't tell him because I love his dolls lol... I love this channel too as you really know your fashion and you know dolls and that's always a pleasure! I was born the year before Barbie and so she has been there my whole life and I remember her looking very exotic. This is lovely! She is gorgeous! The porcelain skin looks luminous! The underwear is gorgeous!
I had the same lingerie surprize with silkstone Joan holloway from the mad men collection. Her's is a very devine teddy lingerie.. Its really ggood to visit old Silkstones because of how boring the new lines are
Omg I didn't even know she existed!!! Umm she is tres magnifique!!!! 🇫🇷🗼💕💕💕 the lingerie was toooo cute! You should try to get the silkstone lingerie collection... all those tiny corsets and garters are ugh.. j'adorrrreee
Hi suresh, i have always watched your video ever since. I love barbie dolls also especially silkstone. Most barbie dolls I purchased were because of your reviews and very influential hehe so my next target is this doll as gift for myself this coming christmas. Subscriber here 😘
I got the Parisienne Pretty Silkstone (is this right?) and i think she looks a little bit better. But i like the porcelain Version too. So what, i like every Barbie!!! 😇 I got the Delphine from the background too. I'snt she AMAZING??? Love your Videos so much, please go on! And in every Video your Outfit matches the Barbie Outfit (i don't know the right english words, sorry!!!) thats great! Thank you so much for beeing here!
Do you have an empress bride. I have one from my mothers collection and would like to find a collector who might be interested in purchasing it this holiday season. Thanks!
Damnn her details is amazing..so speechless that mattel have ever produced dolls with superb quality.. is there any differences between 1991 and repro 2003 gay parisienne?
Hahahaha riiiight though?! Wasn't that lingerie set just TDF?! Wait until you see Ken's little undies, you'll die. Thanks for watching doll face ~ xoxo
OMG her top is killing me. I want one its soooo extra. For a second I thought her hair was blue. Does Barbie have any doll that have colored hair outside of the play line?
Soooo extra right? haha! Only playline dolls have colored hair. Most all collector dolls have realistic hair color combos with the exception of the Toki Doki dolls. Some Pink Label dolls or dolls like Top Model have colored hair.
She is gorgeous 😊 After i watch your video i know i have to buy her 😂 The details are just 🥰❤ It makes me really sad when i think about the proudly pink Silkstone...Mattel should go back to their roots!
I swear balenciaga did it first with trying to get rid of what Dior did to a women's figure after the he world war with the bubble dress and just bubble/ballon styles of clothing and initially it didn't go so well but Dior did it and then that did better, but I'm pretty sure credit is due to Cristobal balenciaga
Remi Kiernan Mr. Pierre Cardin actually invented the bubble dress silhouette around 1953/54 which was then borrowed by many designers of the day including Mr. Balenciaga and Mr. Dior. The dress that I referenced in this video is a Dior version from 1958. I did not say that he invented the bubble silhouette. Each designer had a unique variation. Mr. Balenciaga's version, while beautiful, is not the one I referenced here.
Suresh NY oh ok klkl nice to know I particularly recently did an essay on fashion from 1950-1960 and balenciaga did it before Dior on my particular time line but now I have some more background to add thx to u 😊😊
All the porcelain barbie has lingerie and that is by the barbie expert Augustyniak but love this vlog Please also tell me we are gonna see blush fringed dress barbie! 😍
Suresh NY what!!!???? Really? I mean you would certainly know! It feels like a plastic. My Gosh! I couldn’t even imagine how uncomfortable it would be to wear! I’m going to sew a re-creation with perhaps a silk or blend. I’ll make sure to send photos💜😘 Are you on FB? I’m not on Instagram as of late.
Already did! An amazing subscriber of mine actually sent me a nude duplicate so I have one modeling the beautiful lingerie and the other modeling the dress.
She's gorgeous. I am such a sucker for polka dots and bows. I appreciate your matching your bow tie and pocket square to her dress.
Aww thanks! It's the prettiest shade of blue, too! xoxo
Her underwear! My goodness, how cute 😍😭
I KNOW right!!!!!

No one can replace Barbara!
Preach!!
the details are pretty dope, and the price seems very reasonable. I wouldn't get it cuz i can't trust myself with porcelain. but maybe just for the outfit. lol
Haha just imagine that she's your teacup--be careful but carefree, if that makes sense :) xoxo

It is really funny because today I was surving amazon and was confused whether to buy her or not. And here you are posting this video today.🤗 love you

But i like the porcelain Version too.
So what, i like every Barbie!!! 😇

Indeed! :)

She's gorgeous!!! do you have the monique lhuillier barbie? :)
Yes, she is!! Omg no but I really want her!
Beautiful.
:)
Damnn her details is amazing..so speechless that mattel have ever produced dolls with superb quality.. is there any differences between 1991 and repro 2003 gay parisienne?
Beautiful, right? The 2003 repro is vinyl--this doll from 1991 is porcelain. xoxo
Thanks for another great video. Is there a AA Ken in silkstone?
Glad you like it! There is no AA Ken Silkstone that I know of, sadly :( Let's keep sending hints to Mattel, though :) xoxo
What a BEAUTY
Yes, indeed!!! :)
"Gay boy included". I just adore you! 😂
Beautiful doll, very accurate review (like always): what can I say, the lingerie is really EVERYTHING!
xoxo
Hahahaha riiiight though?! Wasn't that lingerie set just TDF?! Wait until you see Ken's little undies, you'll die. Thanks for watching doll face ~ xoxo
Suresh NY ahhh, the undies! I can't wait! 😍😊😉
OMG her top is killing me. I want one its soooo extra. For a second I thought her hair was blue. Does Barbie have any doll that have colored hair outside of the play line?
Soooo extra right? haha! Only playline dolls have colored hair. Most all collector dolls have realistic hair color combos with the exception of the Toki Doki dolls. Some Pink Label dolls or dolls like Top Model have colored hair.
Your dolls are so gorgeous just like you ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Silkstone Parisienne pretty is no doubt based on this beauty. Do you have her? You could do a comparison 😃
I believe she is, yes! I do not have her (ugh) but if I get my hands on her, you'll be the first to know. xoxo
New to your channel and I love it and you're a cutie and I love Barbie dolls. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you so much! :)

Suresh NY you should also buy the regular repro dolls (that are not made of porcelain), almost all repro dolls have the most details 😄😍
She is gorgeous 😊
After i watch your video i know i have to buy her 😂 The details are just 🥰❤
It makes me really sad when i think about the proudly pink Silkstone...Mattel should go back to their roots!
She’s giving me Alexis carrington colby

I am learning that! I just bought another porcelain Barbie, haha. Yes, Blush Fringed Gown Barbie is coming up next week. Stay tuned ~
Porcelain... So we can't drop it
I finally received her and she is beautiful !
However..... I do not like the fabric of her dress... plastic!!! 😖 I guess I’ll have to make my own!
Happy Skye it’s not plastic, dearest. It’s taffeta. One of the world’s most beautiful evening wear fabrics that date back to the 12 century.
Suresh NY what!!!????
Really? I mean you would certainly know! It feels like a plastic. My Gosh! I couldn’t even imagine how uncomfortable it would be to wear!
I’m going to sew a re-creation with perhaps a silk or blend. I’ll make sure to send photos💜😘
Are you on FB? I’m not on Instagram as of late.
Hello sharesh
I LUV LUV LUV 💓Her
Can reproductions wear the porcelain doll's clothes?
In my experience, yes
She looks like violet chachki
You mean Violet Chachki looks like HER
You should buy another one and have the other one not have the dress on only the underwear!
Already did! An amazing subscriber of mine actually sent me a nude duplicate so I have one modeling the beautiful lingerie and the other modeling the dress.
@@SureshNYC That sounds amazing kinda jealous not gonna lie.
Hi Suresh ! You can buy the doll if you only are a platinum member ?
