Barbie Dolls!

I'm not an official Barbie collector, but proud of my two old vintage dolls (from before 1966) and somehow got the 'fever' from buying used dolls (for dress making reasons) and rescuing them from the waste of other people. I wrote a post about that on my blog and set-up a little contest about it:
http://trashcollector.blogspot.com/2...g-contest.html
I hope it's not against the rules to post the link here and draw a little attention to it...
I didn't know there was a collectors section on this board and I'm happy to find it. Any other Barbie 'fans' here? Love to dress them up with your own designs?
If there are any experts who read this I would like to ask you to look at the pics on my blog and tell me if I really have special dolls there or not, but in the meantime, feel free to participate in the game everybody. Hope you enjoy!

I collect Barbies also. I do not have any old ones but the newer collectable ones of which I keep in their containers so i don't do any outfit changes, but they are fun to collect. I just checked out your Barbie site and found it very interesting

I don't collect them but I do have mine from the 50's she has the short red hair LOL nice to collect!
