Guess who found a genuine Franken-doll out in the wild? Me!
It was crazy! I was at the thrift with my dad, when I saw her wrapped in plastic at the bottom of a bin.
Obvi. I freaked out because I knew her head was 1968 “Hair Fair” Barbie’s and she was marked at $2.
So I forewent my usual inspection, opting to just run to the counter and buy her in my excitement.
It was only when I got home and removed her clothes to clean her that I realized that she was not on the right body.
So now I’m on the hunt for her OG body and a head to go with the one she’s on right now. The body she currently occupies is older than her—so I was thinking about trying to find like a bubble-cut head or an “American Girl” head.
If anyone has any leads, please share!
I hope you guys enjoy this! Have a good day and peace out!

“Ballerina Blues” Pt. 1
Eeeee!! I’m super excited because I’m finally getting to work on a project that’s been on my mind for months now!!
I’ve had the 70’s Ballerina Barbie on hold for me at an antique mall for a while—-and today, I finally got to go get her!!
While I was super stoked, I feel honestly very mislead about the actual condition of this Barbie. But this goes for all the Barbie’s I have purchased from this same seller.
He told me that all she needed was a good bath—which is a vast understatement. Her legs were filthy, her body is covered in strange, dark yellow stains, and she had an old rubber band fused to her hair.
I’m not a novice to rubber bands fusing with doll hair, so that part of the cleanup was a cinch. And her legs, after a good scrub with a tooth brush covered in baking soda goo, cleaned up rather nicely.
Although I have had no luck with the dark yellow stains on her body. There’s a little discoloration on her chest that I will have to deal with, but that shouldn’t be a problem.
While making this post I’m waiting for her hair to dry—hopefully I can get the stains and such sorted out tomorrow.
I will try and document as much as I can.
I hope you guys like this!!
Have a good day and peace out!! :)

Note: I don't condone Landis as a person... but it would have seemed strange to not include him here.
