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!

Attention UK Barbie lovers, ASDA are having a half price toy sale including Barbie! In the advert I spied a Gabriela from High School Musical Doll and Now and Then Barbie.

I just found out from @thedollcafe that a Barbie Store has opened in Barcelona. The store is the first one in Europe and includes everything that I hoped for inside. It's so exciting as now I can stop saving up for my trip to Shanghai as when the pictures were released of the Shanghai store I fell in love and would never think anything like this would come to Spain. It opened on 15th October 2009 and is in Centro Commercial Illa Diagonal in the centre of the city.



I'm already planning my trip to Barcelona, shame it's not in Madrid as I will be there in a week via my trip to Paris. Here is a youtube video I found of the store in Barcelona enjoy, thanks Sandra, I wouldn't have known otherwise ;)
