Morning!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I
wanted to let everyone know that MyVintageBarbies.com (the website) is up and
running again! I had a few glitches this week and had to pull it down for a
bit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I
love hearing how you all are using the site and appreciate the support you have
shown by clicking through the affiliate links to help keep the site live.
I'm happy I don't have to run all those pop-up ads that get in the way of your
viewing enjoyment!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">The
incident that occurred on my website this week is the reason I wrote My Vintage
Barbies (the reference book). I wanted to preserve my hours of research in
case the site had to be taken down, or the software became too outdated to
maintain. The book also contains information that is not found on the
website. Fortunately, for now all is well. I hope to keep
MyVintageBarbies.com running for many years to come. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">I
also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their lovely
messages and emails expressing how much you have enjoyed my book. Thank
you to everyone who has purchased it. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">It's
starting to feel like fall here in Oregon. Enjoy the rest of your summer! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: large;">Happy Hunting!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-large;">Marie</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><o:p></o:p></p><p><br /></p>Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02204697715256174922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693610596027350163.post-92087790947245076692021-11-30T11:18:00.000-08:002021-11-30T11:18:27.828-08:00My Vintage Barbies (The Book)<span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;">After a year in the works, I’m excited to announce <i>My Vintage Barbies</i> is completed and for sale at Amazon!</span><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;">This large 348-page reference book is sure to capture the interest of all Barbie enthusiasts. My Vintage Barbies covers the Barbie era in detail, from 1959 to 1979 and beyond. Although the book spotlights the vintage era, it includes unique and historically relevant dolls after 1979, including foreign, holiday, and current collectible dolls. Vintage clothing ensembles from 1959 to 1972 are also included for Barbie, her friends, and her family, as well as gift sets, furniture, structures, and scores of other vintage Barbie items. Readers will enjoy over three thousand (many never-before seen) color photographs, while discovering a few of the author’s personal favorites and other fun surprises along the way! Collectors will appreciate the descriptions about each doll, and the detail with which the author explains their variations and specifics. The book includes a table of contents with an extensive, organized, and detailed index, making it quick and easy to find a specific clothing ensemble, doll, or other item. This is a must have book for any Barbie collector, enthusiast, or fashionista, and will make a cherished gift for the Barbie aficionado!</span></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQyKSGl_5-rJz9tvS2_QzBJYn2TCmynfKGBHW7u_ibiFo86egvgOSXaGG7MlVrTXSTEYSyXaSjHAyVjx80yu1ZP3yPhswye9fISC5FrnxyoD-AHeG0ZWXakjMAh3cDoBdGTNTR85hfAXE/s1650/MVB+FRONT+COVER+JPEG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1275" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQyKSGl_5-rJz9tvS2_QzBJYn2TCmynfKGBHW7u_ibiFo86egvgOSXaGG7MlVrTXSTEYSyXaSjHAyVjx80yu1ZP3yPhswye9fISC5FrnxyoD-AHeG0ZWXakjMAh3cDoBdGTNTR85hfAXE/w247-h320/MVB+FRONT+COVER+JPEG.jpg" width="247" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578981459/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0578981459&linkCode=as2&tag=myvinbar-20&linkId=9ae9519168a3306ff2526d20b1c1f3bf" target="_blank">Buy: My Vintage Barbies</a><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">Happy Hunting!</span></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02204697715256174922noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693610596027350163.post-7189367642308392732020-08-19T13:19:00.002-07:002020-08-21T15:27:57.093-07:00Letter for You...<p><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hello

Mattel catalog, but it was not available in either the Sears or Penney's catalog that year. </span></div>

<span face="" style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Since the Pep Rally Gift set
was "new" in 1965, why would it be in the Sears catalog in
1964? I'm thinking it was a printing error and the Barbie, Ken and Midge
on Parade was supposed to be the one featured in 1964. But anything is
possible in Barbieland!</span><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The #892 Barbie
and Ken (Tennis) Gift Set is one of my favorites. Interestingly, we all
call it the “Barbie and Ken Tennis Gift Set”, but Mattel didn’t include the
word “Tennis” in the name, although the picture on the box depicts the couple
with their tennis racquets. </span><br />

could be found with a painted head Ken as well.</span><br />

<span face="" style="font-family: cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span face="" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">In
1971 a brand new advertising campaign began for new products that Mattel was
planning to release in 1972. They called that ad campaign
“Surprising Barbie”. Included in the campaign was a “Surprising
Barbie” theme song that would be used for all advertisements in 1972.
Mattel thought that little girls would love the catchy tune. The biggest
surprise in 1972 was the introduction of the 1972 Busy Barbie line, but there
were other exciting introductions as well. A fabulous new Fashion
Original clothing line was presented, as well as an entirely new line of
clothing, which was meant to compete with other lower cost brands on the market
for the same sized dolls. They called the new line “Best Buy fashions”,
“high quality fashion at the lowest price ever”. Each retailed for .55
cents. In the commercial Mattel also referred to some other
added surprises that would be released later at the toy fair. </span></span></span></div>

Barbie was available for only two short years. Consequently she is
another pretty lady that’s a little tougher to find on the secondary
market, in mint condition and in her box, but I think she’s a must have
for every Barbie collection! </span></span></span></div>

available at Christmas time in the Sears store (the stand-alone doll wasn’t
listed in the catalog in 1972 either, but I did read the doll was available by
mail-order through the fall).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gift set
included the doll wearing a red, blue, and yellow knit dress with crocheted
blue belt, matching red calf length boots, and a blue sheer nylon head
scarf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also included in the box was a
second outfit which consisted of blue bell-bottom knit pants, with a matching
blue and yellow knit top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blue pilgrim
shoes completed the outfit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jamie also had
a white poodle with a blue collar and a blue and yellow ball. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span face="" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Dramatic New Living
Barbie was amazing! She could tilt her head, bend her knees, rotate
her wrists, had posable ankles (so she could wear flats and heels), could bend
her</span> elbows, swing her arms up and out, and swivel at the waist with this
brand new style body! With her posable legs, she could even do the
splits! She was available with blonde, brunette or red hair, and had real
eyelashes. She wore a beautiful gold metallic one piece swim suit with an
orange fishnet cover-up that was trimmed in gold.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span face="" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt;">The 1964 Party Time Set was featured as "new" in the 1965 Mattel Catalog after it was released as a Sears exclusive in 1964. But the rare 1965 set is not pictured in any of the catalogs (Mattel, Sears, Montgomery Ward, or J.C. Penney).

a twist ‘n turn Barbie doll that had long hair, with a portion pulled on up on
top of her head and tied with a pretty orange hair ribbon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had real eye-lashes, and wore a two piece
vinyl orange swim-suit with a one-piece fish-net swim-suit over it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The one significant difference
between this doll and all the other twist ‘n turn dolls that were released in
1967 was the striking powder blue eye shadow that Barbie wore in the Beautiful
Blues Set. But, if you look closely at the picture in the Sears catalog, you
will notice that the doll pictured does not show her blue eye-shadow at all,
which of course was an error in printing.</span></span></span><br />

if you look at the Mattel catalog for these sets in 1960 and 1962, you’ll
notice that in 1960 the photograph shows the blue checked #916 commuter set
blouse rather than the red checked picnic blouse that the description below the
picture describes, and what the set actually came with. In 1962 Mattel corrected
the catalog description of the set by describing these partial sets of clothing more
clearly for the retailer to read (see picture and description below).</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

longer than the U.S. version. She had side glance eyes, and wore a pink
leotard with matching tights. She was packaged in an open faced box which
included a clear “X” stand. Some of these dolls had a wrist tag, and
others did not. Even though she was released in 1970, her box is marked 1969.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Francie, Barbie’s teenage cousin, was a strong presence in
Barbieland from 1966 to 1976. She wasn’t released again until 2011,
except for three reproductions that were available in 1996, 1997 and
2005. Beginning in 2011 several Silkstone Francie dolls debuted as
well. This popular doll changed with the times, and was always a popular
addition to Mattel’s line of Barbie dolls.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Francie was 11 ¼ inches tall, which was a little bit shorter
than Barbie who stood at 11 ½ inches tall. She also had a less developed
body shape than Barbie, which resulted in her own line of mod clothing.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

market. Three could talk (Barbie, Ken, and Steffie), and four that did
not (Barbie, Ken, Steffie, and Francie). One additional Busy Barbie
doll that was released at the same time was German Busy Francie (#3313), who
was available only in Europe. She had the same body, but a completely
different head mold.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
