Haunted Beauty Ghost^™ Barbie^® Doll is a Vision in White

There is a type of beauty that once viewed cannot be forgotten. It’s so striking that it refuses to fade from memory, but appears again and again, unbidden, in dreams and in unexpected moments. Such is the vision of Haunted Beauty Ghost^™ Barbie^® Doll from Bill Greening, and she is beyond the power of any mortal to resist.

A Spectacularly un-Conventional Fashion Show!

By Chris Varaste

I just returned from this year’s Barbie^® Convention held at the Hyatt Regency in Orange County, CA, and as is often the case, I can’t wait to go back next year! As far as guilty pleasures go, Barbie Conventions remind me of fabulous televised special events like the Olympics or Academy Awards (except, ha, we always want the Oscars to end…)!
