Black Barbie

"Style Saturday"
"Changing your hair; style, length, color -- is a birthright of all dolls."


Hey dolls, thanks so much for "blogging in" to another Saturday with me! I hope you liked last weekends hair stlye; the "Barbie (bow) Up-do". This weeks style I'm calling the "Black Barbie Blow-Out". One thing I love about being a woman of color is that I can do so many different things with my hair texture; rather it's straight or curly! So, since it's offically summer vacation, and concidering I will be laying poolside for most of it, I'm going all nat-u-ral.



My products: "Hair, Skin & Nails" vitamins (that I take daily) - "Palmer's Olive Oil Formula" shampoo, conditioner & hairdress - "Murray's Beeswax" (for the baby hair) - "Motions" Foaming Wrap Lotion






I hope you dolls enjoyed this weeks "Style Saturday" look!
"The Black Barbie Blow-Out"

"Uh, yeah.... Whatever"!

"Whatever Wendsday's"
Anything goes on Wendsday's! Each and every "Whatever Wendsday" I will read comments, questions, suggestions -Whatever; from you (dolls) and then respond to them in a video. I know what you're thinking; "What if there aren't any responses from your post?" Well, today is one of those days. So I will be blogging about "WHATEVER" comes to mind. If you love/hate it, respond to it in a comment, question, and/or suggestion!

Style Saturday's?!

((Daydreaming))
A creative idea can just pop into my head at any given time of day!

"Style Saturday's"
Why not add another day to my blogging schedule?


So for those of you who don't know, I am a hairstylist and manicurist! Just last night I did a really cute, girly up-do on myself. I call it the "Barbie (bow) Up-Do"! So starting today, I will be posting cute, new, fun Barbie inspired hairstyles and even some Nail Art for "Style Saturday's".
ENJOY!
Oh, and if any of you dolls have any ideas, suggestions, or questions, don't be shy!

Fashion Friday

Hey, dolls! I'm making up for "Fashion Friday".

So like I've mentioned in my last blog post, on Thursday's ("Thrifty Thursday's") I would show you guys in pictures and/or a video; the fashion & accessories I've found while out "Thrifting" (shopping at vintage/thrift shops). Next I would show & tell you how I would style and reconstruct them. Then on Friday's ("Fashion Friday's"), I would post my finished creations. But unfortunately, I was unable to go Thrifting this week. What I have for you today though, is a DIY I've done a little while ago that I call the "Baby Doll-Short Shorts".

Paper Dolls


I frequently enjoy designing, creating, and making my own paper dolls. They are adult women with different varieties of fashion and accessories, with different varieties of life styles and careers to match. In the process of my creations, I saw that there was a definate need for a different kind of trend that would give women the chance to interpret the "doll" world in all sorts of ways; through fashion, hair, makeup, beauty, art and lifestyle. Women need to explore the world around them -- and look good while doing so. Channel your inner Barbie doll, and you can be anything that you want to explore; your everyday lives, careers, and the great appeal of the adult "dress-up" world.

As a little girl (and well into my pre-teens), playing with Barbie dolls and drawing/painting encouraged me to actively use my imagination. Through Barbie, I projected myself into my own individual dreams of growing up, and I was able to express my interpretation of the world around me through fashion. As my interest changed, so did Barbie. The Barbie doll reflected the fashions and attitudes of the times, regardless of the era. Always in step with the current styles, her clothes had a quality and detail never seen before. Her tiny garments with miniture zippers, snaps, and buttons were yet another way Barbie mirrored a glamorous woman's world. Now she inspires me to mirror her through my art/fashion, and my lifestyle.
