Happy St Patrick's Day, Barbie!

I have very limited knowledge of St Patrick's Day, as an Australian with no Irish family - so I will leave any discussion of the significance of the occasion to those who know better. However, let's look at some Barbies.

As a part of the Holiday Hostess series (of course) Mattel released a St Patrick's Day themed Barbie, called "Shamrock Celebration".

Shamrocks do in fact feature very heavily in her garment -on her plaid skirt and around her neck, as well as in the buckle of her hat. Just in case the design was too subtle, she has "Happy St Patrick's Day" written on her apron.

Her accessory is a pot of gold, which I suppose is a little more Barbie-friendly than, say, a pint of Guinness.

This is not, of course, the only Barbie to depict Ireland or Irish culture. As part of the Dolls of the World line, for example, there were a number of dolls - Irish Barbie, Princess of Ireland Barbie and Irish Dance Barbie.

It is worth noting, of course, that Festivals of the World Irish Dance Barbie does not depict St Patrick's Day - she depicts a step-dancer at a Feis.

The Legends of Ireland series depict myths and legends of Irish culture, though to be honest I don't know how accurate any of these are. I do know that they are beautiful.

There were a number in the collection, ranging from Silver Label to Platinum Label.

I love greenery and waterfall. Unfortunately, we don't really have waterfalls where I live.

Elvria, Princess of Portugal

I haven't attempted to tame her hair because I don't want to lose the curls or disrupt her headpiece, but she makes it work :)

Missing her stand and shoes, and I'll need to smooth her hair a bit, but not a bad find for 5 bucks right?

Barbies of the BPCL: Northwest Coast Native American Barbie

This Barbie is part of the Dolls of the World collection from 2000. The description from the Barbie collection reads:

Yake'i ixw sateeni! (It is good to see you!) I'm Northwest Coast Native American Barbie doll from Alaska, land of the last frontier. My people live in the Northwest Coast and panhandle area of Southeast Alaska. It is called the panhandle area because it looks like the handle of a frying pan. I am wearing our beautiful ceremonial dress with a Chilkat Robe, traditionally woven from cedar bark and mountain goat hair. Now, I'm ready for the Winter Ceremonials, where we sing and dance, feeling close to the spirits of nature, as our ancestors did. Please come to visit Alaska soon! Tsu yei ixwa sateeni! (I'll see you again!)
