what is your favorite barbie "era"? (mod, superstar, best buy...)

i am obsessed with collecting best buy barbie clothes! i love the simplicity of these clothes, and the easy on/off (no Velcro!).  my favorite are the 70's/80's style jumpsuits.... i also love very early barbie clothes from  the 60's, is such a classic style (it makes me think of "mad men").  occasionally i also run across some mod pieces that i also want to collect, like i really want a "twinkle togs" dress..... i also find my self incessantly searching ebay for things i remember from my childhood, my cousins had the most AMAZING barbie collection! sometimes as an adult, i find myself buying things i remember from their collections that i was jealous of...nostalgic much???

I love the Mod Barbie era...but I also like the 1950s Barbies. I love Best buy Barbie clothes too. I also always look on ebay for vintage handmade Barbie dresses. I love a really well made vintage Barbie dress.

me too! i love a good vintage barbie dress/outfit!!! i feel so much today that barbie clothes are a bit "tacky" for lack of a better term?  i love vintage stuff, even when i get fabrics to make doll clothes, i usually find something with a vintage feel to it...
