1981 Golden Dream Christie

A beautiful Steffie faced doll from Lori, Christie is just so cute and her hair is great. It was wild but I tamed it a little, although it has real wire in it which is hard to tame :)

This Christie along with Pink & Pretty are just some of the most stunning dolls from the early 80's.

1982 Bride Tracy in Twice as Nice Fashion

This is my 2nd Tracy as I was not keen on my first girls face paint so I sold her on.

This lady is stunning, just perfect with thick hair. I didn't know what to dress in her in so tried this Twice as Nice outfit from my friend Lori (who I also got Tracy from) and she was turned in into a Latino looking goddess.

1992 - Special Expressions Barbie (Whitney)

Such a beauty!

Special Expressions Barbie is a Woolworth exclusive to the USA in 1992, my friend Lori had sent me a list of Steffie faced dolls and I just glanced over the name thinking she would have some sort of strange expressions face. How wrong I was, this beautiful girl arrived in the box and was a huge surprise. She is one of my favourite girls now and is clearly Whitney. She looks a lot like the rare Ultra Hair Whitney so maybe her face and makeup where re-used? She has the most beautiful hair as it's a light brown shade and so shiny & glossy. Thanks again to Lori :)

1990 - Lights and Lace Teresa

Lights and Lace Teresa falls just out of my usual collecting era but I couldn't resist her. With her big brown eyes and masses of dark hair.

I am going to say nothing about the whole concept of this doll or what they dressed the poor thing in. The belt is the light and as for the oversized hairbow?!

A quick hair touch up, new dress and Jems earrings she looks a bit less like 80's Cyndi Lauper at a kids party! The dress is an outfit I loved as a kid and was a bargain at 50p from e-bay

1983 Sun Gold Malibu P.J.

I have wanted Sun Gold Malibu P.J. for ages. My good Barbie friend Lori found her for me, and while she doesn't have her bathing suit or accessories I think she looks great in my favourite Twice as Nice fashion. I would still like her mint sometime in the future.

1982 - Pink & Pretty Christie

Just stunning

The Pink & Pretty Girls!

Pink & Pretty Barbie was my favorite as a kid, My sister got her me a few years back in the box so I was happy. I then found a picture of Pink & Pretty Christie and instantly fell in love with her but not the cost. She was like $170+ in the box so I never dreamed I would get her.

My wonderful new Barbie pal said she had a spare so I jumped at the offer of owning her and she is now in my top 3 dolls!

She had rather thick matted hair at first, I tried a makeover but I still wasn't happy with the results as it was all bushy and hard to manage. I boiled the kettle ready to straighten it.

When I nervously poured the water over her head, all the fuzz seemed to disappear and keep the beautiful wave to it. I have never tried this method on Barbie before but it worked and gave me the perfect result.

1987 - Perfume Pretty Whitney

I have wanted Perfume Pretty Whitney for a long time,I had Perfume Pretty Barbie as a kid and I got her again a few years back but she had rubbish hair so I sold her on. On the back of the box it showed the beautiful Whitney doll and I have wanted her since. With the help of my new Barbie friend who is also a Steffie Faced collector I managed to get her loose as she is hard to find in the UK and she is a stunner.

She needed a little hair makeover (as she had toybox hair LOL) but it came out well considering that they used 2 fabrics for her hair and the lighter highlights are made from fuzzy material!

1991 - Benetton Teresa

Benntton Teresa is quite stunning and not a doll i really knew about as she falls just out of my 80's era of collecting. A new Barbie friend suggested her to me as I was buying a few Steffie faced dolls from her. I am glad I took her up on the offer as she is quite stunning and unusal. With her stunning hair and beautiful eyes she certainly stands out as does her outfit.

1988 - Nurse Whitney (Re-Post)

Beautiful eyes and silky soft hair

Here is her glamourous evening dress hidden under her uniform.

Stunning Steffie Face

1987- Jewel Secrets Whitney

Jewel Secrets Whitney is one of the most stunning dolls I think have ever been produced.


I think she just looks so Dallas/Dynasty in this outfit.

A beautiful Steffie face and masses of beautiful 2 toned hair.

Barbie & Whitney.

I have wanted Jewel Secrets Whitney for as long as I have been re-collecting Barbie. Trouble has been at £100+ she is very pricey and highly sought after.

I recently decided to sell/trade some Jem clothes and came across a guy who had her boxed and wanted to trade. I am waiting for Whitney to arrive as she is coming from the USA on the boat so 4-6 weeks is the expected time frame. In the meantime I saw this Whitney on e-bay from the same UK seller as I got Sweet Roses P.J. so I could not resist putting a bid in. I did not think I would win her for the minimum asking price but I did. I think that the seller did not put Barbie in the title so maybe she was overlooked, who knows. My boxed Whitney will stay minty (when she arrives) and this little lady will become a model for any fashions I pick up in the future.

1983 - Sweet Roses P.J. (2)

This is my 2nd Sweet Roses P.J. I had a P.J phase a few years back and got this version of her. I was never really taken with her so I sold her on. Since then my passion for the Steffie faced dolls has increased so I got her back. I won this lady from a lovely U.K seller, She came with very matted hair due to her curls. It took me nearly an hour to comb the dreadlocks into this style. She is sweet but not my favorite girl in the Steffie/P.J. range.

P.J. are my initials too incidentally!
