More Barbie Size

I don't know how old this photo is. Driving forklift I got a bit out of shape, and my weight went up to 180 pounds. Anyway, I'm guessing somewhere around 2000, the first female Halloween costume. The jeans were because of the weird fear that someone might want to check under my skirt.

I bought a hobby drill. My drill bits were to small for the 1/4 inch drill. Assembly Required.

the first female Halloween costume.

I'm guessing 'Dorothy'. Love the blue gingham pinafore/apron. Thanks

I ended up ordering new buttons for the GI Joe shirt. The two middle ones are the original. The new buttons appear to be more to scale. They are just placed on to see how it looks. When I took the photo, it looked like it came out lighter. The shirt is darker than that, and the buttons almost match.



I found a chrome paint pen. Tested it out on a Barbie. The doll on the right was an enemy of my tomb raider. I have photos of them fighting 20 years ago. "The Bionic Woman" tv show had the fembots and this is my version. The dolls from "Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman" are about 13 inches tall, but the accessories should still fit for my Barbies.

Like I said, my leisure jacket is not in great shape. I have rust stains left where there used to be snaps. For some reason, the other part of the snap seems to be untouched. Since I can't find anything that would work with the existing snaps, I would have to replace the whole snap.



I wanted to see what I had for earrings, I bought some holders and spent some time taking the earring out of some drawer type thing and putting them onto holders. The Star Trek ones I wore to watch the parade, later noticing they were kind of rainbow. Surprising they are also about 20 years old.

My pirate faeries are kept in the cage. It creates a problem when they are flying around the house.
