Today someone was asking me about my blog and some moderately obscure parts of Barbie history so naturally, I talked about Barbie for a long time. But eventually, as a part of that, we got on to the subject of Barbie Bazaar.

Barbie Bazaar was a Barbie magazine for collectors, released between 1988 and 2006. It's a little tricky to find history about them, but according to a breakdown on the Mattel forums by a collector of the old magazines, the magazine was founded by a collector and an aspiring businesswoman who were connected by mutual friends and embarked on a project to provide a resource for adult doll collectors to share information about the doll. After some consideration, Mattel took on the magazine as a licensed property to avoid trademark issues, and the magazine became a hit.

Unfortunately, the tech boom and the increasing prevalence of fan sites rendered the magazine functionally obsolete by 2006. Nowadays, we use Mattel's own website, the social media presence of designers, and... blogs like this one, I guess, to share the same information.

The covers are fascinating to scroll through; many of them seem to be aping fashion magazines except with Barbie, and do the job very well. Others invite us to appreciate a Barbie tableau.

The Addams Family cover kills me because of the roses and Gomez's deep power stance... but absolutely no question, though, my favourite is this one.

What the hell is this. I love it.

this Clawdeen is one of my all time faves of G3, but her poly hair is so dry and hard to style. I finally got around to trying to give her a new hairstyle until I inevitably reroot her!

New doll yay!!!!

I just wanted to share a little about the design choices for Dollie’s hat that I made for her Halloween design since a lot of thought went into it surprisingly. When I designed her main outfit, I had specifically wanted her to have something on her head to go with her bittersweet lolita inspired fashion. Her original design in 2022 featured two basic head bows on her pigtails, which I knew I didn’t want still. However, I also wanted to make sure she featured visible earmuffs because Dollie is autistic. I wear very visible earmuffs irl so I wanted to make sure I tied that in somehow since she’s my monstersona. The solution? Her earmuffs double as a fashionable headband!

That wasn’t going to work with her Halloween look tho, so I knew I’d have to rethink that. She doesn’t wear in the ear noise canceling devices, so I couldn’t just say she has those on and I knew I wanted her to have a witches hat, so the solution was a ribbon. This ribbon is supposed to be extra thick and featured special fibers that help block out noise when she ties them over her ears. Yet again mixing her fashion with accessibility!
