Her hair could also be more teased – it’s not nearly as big as she wore it then. And her fishnets don’t have intentional rips and holes in them – and aren’t on her arms, too. Her red dress is surprisingly tame for the outlandish Lauper, known for her wild colors and mismatching. The Cyndi Lauper Barbie, while red-headed like the singer was during her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” days, isn’t as convincing as the Joan Jett and Debbie Harry miniatures.
You know, as long as it’s for collecting, not hooking up with Ken (though, for some reason, Ken was always just a BFF or chauffeur to my Barbies. Sure, a lot of kids these days might not know who she is (save for the attendees of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls), but this collectible would be perfect for hardcore Blondie fans of all ages. The Blondie doll has a short, tight dress, platinum blonde hair, a bad ass demeanor, and, to be completely ’80s, loads of eye shadow. The Debbie (not Deborah) Harry Barbie may be wearing pink, but she’s totally punk. Holder’s “Ladies of the ’80s” collection features the three rockers and their signature looks: Jett all in black, complete with Converse, a guitar, totally ’80s shaggy hair (unfortunately not the total gay short look she’s sporting these days, but I’ll take it), and tight jeans. Joan Jett, Debbie Harry and Cyndi Lauper are all getting their own doll incarnations, due out in December. The annoyingly pink car, house and tons of other accessories were a challenge, however.īut now, thanks to Sandi Holder of Doll Attic, budding young lesbians, tomboys and other girls don’t have to put so much effort into having a hip Barbie. Scented Magic Markers came in handy as both hair dye and tattoo ink pins and needles for body piercings. At the time, I had no idea I was butch-ifying my ultra femme, tutu-wearing dolls.
I remember how much fun it was to cut all the hair off my Barbies (and 90210 dolls) when I was younger.
