"Thank you very much Rose! Probably you know why 1972? What's this date famous for? And what are the dolls produced between 1972 and 1977 then? I'm really interested in that because I regularly write doll articles and I don't want to…"

Rose Red replied to Katie's discussion 'Old Barbies: what is Vintage?' in the group Barbie
"Vintage is generally accepted to be pre-1972 by serious collectors. You can divide this into vintage ( pre 1967) and Mod ( 1967 - 1972) 1980's and 90's would not be considered vintage in Europe or USA. I do know a few collectors of…"

Old Barbies: what is Vintage?

Dear Barbie fans,Sorry if my question may sound a tad silly but that's really something that makes me confused at the moment. Which Barbie dolls are called "vintage" now? It's understood that everything before 1970-s is vintage but what about later dolls? What about Superstar Barbie and her gang? It's 2011 now and how many years should I subtract from 2011 to find out whether my Barbie is "vintage" or not? Or is it all about the difference between Superstar Barbie doll image and earlier concept…See More

Profile Information

The dolls that I collect are:
Barbie & friends. I also buy random fashion dolls that I like (Mooqla, Hasbro Sindy, Blythe, Tiny Kitty, KC Doll)
My favourite doll in my collection is:
Really hard to pick one :)
The reason I love dolls is:
I've been loving the world in miniature since childhood, and a "real" Barbie was every little girl's dream in post-Soviet Russia. Most of them have left their passion behind but I haven't.

10 Steffie-faces! Yay!

Posted on January 19, 2011 at 23:13 4 Comments

The first was of course Ultra Hair Whitney.

A Gay Doll For Kids? The big lies of the press...

Posted on December 12, 2010 at 0:56 9 Comments

It's deaf night in my city now so I'll just quote my own post from the DOLLS website that was dedicated to Andy Mills doll from Robert Tonner Doll Company.

There's a big buzz in Russian news now. And it's not about a gay doll from Robert Tonner. It's about a gay Andy Mills doll from MATTEL!! A toy gay doll for kids was somehow invented by Russian journalists, and now hundreds of men and women are moaning online: "how could they?! WHO are they making our kids play…

Hi Katie,

 

Just so you know there is a translate function in the bottom bar. I hope it works! So maybe your friend could try out the site at least :))

Too bad. Hehe, I follow a forum topic about Pamela Love... on a Russian doll forum! Every time somebody replies, I translate their post from Russian to English using Babelfish or something else, so I can reply in English again :P. It's fun!

Thanks for the welcome Katie, to be honest I only know a few people (and I only know them because I met them online :P) who collect the same dolls as I do, the 6" Pamela Love dolls by Simba. :D I love them! Is your friend a member here?
