Fashionistas #51 Polka Dot Fun

I had her stacked on my shelf for over a year, and never bothered to open her, since she only has one or two poses.  Once she was free, I realized she really is much prettier out of the box.  I should have pulled her out sooner.

I wish the dress had been a solid color.  It's a nice cut, but it doesn't seem like a print an adult would wear.  Also, it reminds me of the opening credits for Cannon, pinnacle of televised fat jokes, probably not what Mattel wanted me to think about while looking at curvy Barbie.  At least the print is on both sides.

Fashionistas #80 Cheerful Check

This is the one I anticipated most from the Christmas wave.  It took me a while to find one I was satisfied with.  It's not a face I would buy infinite variations of, but I still love this one.

The dress is printed on both sides, but only because there's no shoulder seam.  I wish they could have bending legs, there's not too much they can do once they're out of the box.
