Barbie Fashion #1 : Skipper and Ken Fashion from 82/83

Hi all!

Here’s some Skipper and Ken fashion i got a couple of weeks ago!

The first outfit i got is Skipper Fashion Fantasy « Smooth Sailing !» from 1982 Ref #5810.

It’s very cute with blue shorts, stripped top, white bucket hat and the traditional white sneakers! 

It’s part of an 8 fashion outfits collection ref from #5810 to #5817 and one Ref #4275.

On  the back side is a coupon for you to fill your information to become a Barbie Fan Club member. It says after signing in you will receive :

- a Barbie sun vision

- a Barbie fan club letter four times a year

- An autographed picture of Barbie

- A poster to color

- A membership card

- An iron-on transfer

- and a 5$ rebate coupon for your parents

I remember being a fan club member as a kid and the transfer iron-on shirt ring a bell… but it was later. I remember i got a cool calendar with Midge Ski Fun on it so i guess it was around 89.

The second outfit i got is Skipper Fashion Fantasy « School Days! » from 1983 Ref #4877.

It’s again a three pieces outfit with a jean skirt, a white t-shirt with a drawing of a boat and white coton tights. Oh and the shoes again! ;)

It’s part of a 6 fashion outfits collection ref from #4876 to #4878 and #4880 to #4882.

The back side shows a picture of the collection.

The last outfit i bought is Ken Twice As Nice « Handsome Pair » from 1983 Ref #4889.

It’s a white trouser with a reversible tshirt : one side is striped and the other is gray. It also got elegant white shoes.

I always loved the Twice as Nice collection. I used to have playing cards showing the whole collection and used to watch it for hours (unfortunately i lost it). I have more twice as nice fashions from my childhood which i will show you eventually.

It’s part of a 6 fashion outfits collection ref from #4885 to #4890.

here’s for my new acquisitions.

I hope to use them in a diorama soon!! so.. stay tuned :)
