Alvin Ailey Barbie at Target in Springfield
The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Barbie was at the Target on Baltimore Avenue, Springfield. This is the first time I have seen the actual doll. Very long and thick eyelashes. It looks as though she is set in an arched back dance pose, which is pretty enough although I would prefer a doll that can be adjusted to different positions. Then again, she might be simply posed and easily posed in other -- less dramatic positions -- but I could not tell. I'll wait to hear from others or to see her deboxed elsewhere.
The Doll actually moves very well. I have one of my own and I love her so much. She moves almost as well as the actual Ailey Dancers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that information, Lou!
ReplyDeleteI will have to add her to my collection.
