What in the world is a grown woman doing collecting Barbie dolls, let alone blogging about it? It mean, really?! What is the world coming to? LOL I've heard those sentiments so many times and guess what? I don't care. I love my Barbies!
The name of this blog came from my brother. He would look at the Barbies in my bedroom and the dolls that came in when I ordered, shake his head and say "Vanessa, Don't just play Barbie, be Barbie!" Thus the title of this blog. If he had any idea that he would contribute to this I'm sure he would have kept that comment to himself.
Anyhoo, I'm just doing this to have fun and relieve a bit of stress. I'm also incorporating my love for fashion and accessories into this blog. Stay tuned and feel free to join in. :)

I was pleased to find this lovely doll to add to my collection. She is Model No. 1 from the Barbie Basics Collection Red, a Target exclusive.
I love the electric red color against her ebony skin and the Goddess of Africa face mold is one of my favorites. She was the only one on the shelf so I was blessed to find her.

Barbie was named for a real young lady from California named Barbara Handler. Barbie, the teen fashion doll that debuted in 1959 was created by Barbara's mom, Ruth Handler, who named the doll after her daughter and the rest is doll history.

Oh she's Hot!!! And with the Goddess of Africa face mold, you were blessed to find her. ~ Ken
Thanks, Ken. The photo does absolutely no justice.
I think you got lucky but someone may have pulled a switch. Model 1 from the Target collection is blonde. This looks like someone wanted that doll and returned Model 4 from the Basic 1.0 in her place and dress
Interesting. I didn't know the target-exclusive Collection Red included the GOA sculpt. Do you think someone (or Mattel, by mistake) used Model 04 from Collection 001 and dressed her in Model 1's dress from Collection Red?
Here's a link to the past Collection Red dolls and the ones that are supposed to be in Target stores this month?

Wow, I think I was really blessed. She is intact and does not appear to have been disturbed. Even the tape on the box top is intact. I'll post close-up photos.
Waiting for the photos, and searching in the meantime. At this point, it does appear you may have a "True" rarity.
Can't wait to see the pics. ~ Ken
