1998 Twist 'n Turn Barbie (Redhead)

For my thirteenth birthday, I purchased the 1998 Twist 'n Turn Barbie. She is the first doll in the Collector's Request collection, a line where collector favorites are reproduced. I thought she was the brunette when I purchased her, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out she was a redhead. I posted this on my Instagram, crazed_dolls. I posted a picture of my grandmother's Bubblecut, too. She is wearing a beautiful reproduction of the 1967 fashion "Smasharoo." It consists of a striped shirt dress, yellow stockings, red boots, matching hat and coat, gold chain belt, and... two pairs of underwear?? She was NOS (New Old Stock) meaning she was stored in a warehouse, and never sold. So maybe she just wears two pairs of underwear?? I don't know...  

She has painted finger and toenails, but because of her rubber legs, the toenail polish wiped off almost immediately. Her red hair was tied up in a half ponytail with a brown rubber band and red bow, but the hair tie disintegrated (eeew!!!) and the bow was the only thing keeping it in place. DO NOT TAKE IT DOWN!!! I made a huge mistake taking it down, because now two pieces of hair are sticking up in weird places. And I can't boil it because we don't have gas yet!

Oh, Barbie. You deserved better.

This is her Certificate of Authenticity. I want to frame it! She likes Malibu Barbie's swimsuit (Above)

Her hair was attached to a weird brace thing. The red circles show where the plastic ties were (Ugh, let's ban toy makers from putting these in their heads!) and
 the blue circle shows where her hair was slipped through.

I hope you enjoyed this review! I know it's all over the place, but I'm still learning all of the Blogger thingies =)
