Having a revamp!

Hi guys having a little revamp here, thought it was time to modernize a little bit and bring some more pink to Pimp My Barbie. Sorry for any inconvenience, everything is still here but needs some tidying up. x

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

Hi everyone, hope you haven't missed me too much, just wanted to take the time to give an update and say Merry Christmas to you all. Even though it seems quiet here, I have been a busy little bee, hard at work on some of my other sites. Barbie Collecting is still a hobby for me, but I have to work on some of the more serious sites as my priority. My Nan sent me a fabulous sparkly Barbie wedding dress, which looks in mint condition, so I am looking forward to redressing a lucky lady very soon, when I get some chance to play.

Also I am still painfully going through and having a doll clearout, some bits and bobs have already been sent away and gone to new homes, but there are others that need new homes. I really was hoping to get stuck in before New Year but the end of the year has gone so fast! Not sure if I mentioned it already but my trip to Disneyland in November was the most amazing time, really can't wait to go back again. Barbie-wise there were only a couple of High School Musical dolls in the shops.

Hmm what else? I have decided from now on to only buy boxed dolls, hence the mention above of my imminent sale. Make sure you become a fan of Pimp My Barbie on facebook, because although sometimes I have no blog there may be a little status update or two on there.

I have also been working on a new Alice in Wonderland site which is still very new but I am hoping to be updating it loads within the next few days. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Right now it is very rainy here in the Canary Islands and so most of the day I have spent online catching up with various projects. I am hungry so if you will excuse me I need to finish up and go make a sandwich and some noodles :)

Happy Holidays x

Pump-Kee Pumpkin Barbie

It's Halloween everybody scream! Well it's that time of year again and although I would have liked to have spent more time on this years Halloween custom Barbie, I just didn't have time at all. I go away shortly to Disneyland and wanted to have her all finished.

Here is her before picture, sweet little Ariel:




....and after Introducing Pump-Kee:




You might recognise this body from a previous years Halloween ooak.

Pimped: The head from Ariel Disney/Mattel doll, I removed all the hair, then started rerooting with this funky green and white crotchet yarn. Then I used an orange Sharpie permanent pen to colour the face and head. I used a good old black Bic Biro to do the pumpkin carved face features.
The little orange hat was made by my mum from material she cut off the bottoms of my tracksuit when she was adjusting them :) she is a genius.
Black patent jacket, shorts and knee high boots are from a euro shop doll.

Have a happy halloween everyone!
