Fashionista seems a bit of a misnomer...

Sooooooo... that Barbie thing. Let's tackle that first since it involves less typing on my part.

Barbie, you might have heard (and considering I heard about it from non-doll people first, it's quite likely), has introduced three new body types to their arsenal.

Oooh. Ahh.

I'd like to say I'm super enthusiastic about this, but I'm still waiting to see 'real' pictures because while Mattel is pretty good about not doing a complete bait and switch on us with their promos, there's always just enough variance to make or break a doll in lines I don't feel compelled to buy them all. And because I'm not a masochist of that order, I do not ever feel the need to buy all the Barbies ever. Which is good because that's just madness.

I mentioned this in my last post, but really, it bears repeating. The list of dolls whose looks I like in both doll and outfit form is very, very small. :/ Some might change once owner pictures surface, but until then, I'm forced to go off what I see and what I've been conditioned to expect. I will say that you can order/pre-order a good chunk of these dolls (all, not just petite) and we're going right off the Shop Mattel website. That link will take you to the See All section, which includes the 'Original' Barbies but I'm not sharing them here.

We shall begin with the petites.
( Small fries. )

Next up, Tall.
( How's the air up there, Stretch? )

And finally, the curvy girls.
( Pretty, hot, and tempting? Just sounds weird. )

Thoughts? Opinions? Any you're super excited to see, or any you're left wondering how they made it past the idea stage?
