Midge Life in the Dreamhouse!

Hey Gang!

Back several years ago, I purchased Barbie and Midge Dreamhouse set at T.J. Maxx.
The box was horrible! but the dolls were in good shape!

I got them for the bodies but when got them home, the Midge doll caught my eye

I love her red hair! I must admit to being a sucker for red hair and the Midge/ Steffie 

head sculpts! So while the blonde head is up for sale with a few other life in the 

dreamhouse Barbies heads, I had to keep the Midge!

It was confusing for me around this time. I kept see different styles of Midge, 

Life in the Dreamhouse the set like what I purchased and the single!

Life in the Dreamhouse two dress set!

There was also a Glam Style Midge out too.  All of this doll had the larger head.

The hair eyes and lip color was a little different. They all looked similar to me at first but some 

time online showed me the difference!

Dreamhouse-a really red redhead

Glam Style- a strawberry blonde

From looking online, I knew that I wanted the Dreamhouse Midge but I wanted the 

Glam Style outfit! So I had the doll and was able to find parts outfit on Facebook!

She is now happy living in Johnston with her family! Say Hello Charlotte!
Charlotte: Hello! Nice to meet you all!

She needed a husband! So who should be the husband of Dreamhouse Midge?

Why McDreamy of course!

or Robert Phillips doll from Enchanted

I will be featuring him again in May!

So here is Charlotte with her husband Dr. Patrick McDreamy!

The McDreamy's

Charlotte: Say hello to the nice folks honey!

Patrick: Hello! 

Honey I have to head out the the hospital! I have a early morning staff
meeting. Charlotte: OK, see you at home.

If you are follower of my blog, you will know that I made them a couple
back in April of 2014 when I found Patrick again in a thrift store.

OK, Thanks for looking!

Hey  Gang!

I have been a little bummed out since learning of the death of Vanessa Morrison
of Van Doll Treasures.  I had always thought she would get better.  She was such a
warrior!  I hope her family leaves her blog and YouTube channel up but let people
know that she will not be answering comments.  Both sites are a real resource.  So
I guess we all must seize the day!


The other day I was at one of my favorite thrift stores and found this girls there!

 

Life in the Dreamhouse Rachelle and Teresa! I purchased nude but

put them in this temp outfit for photo.

These two are one the only fashionista with the strange sideway smiles.
When I saw the bag that held them, I did see their face.  When I saw their face,
I too made that same smile.  I had always wonder how the conversation
about doing this type of smile went.  What did the person say in the suggestion
of this look. And what was their final argument that made them go
forward with this doll's face. The rooted eyelashes at the time, was new for
fashionista doll.


The original fashion on these doll was pretty nice.  I think many purchased them for
this reason.


I have see a few people who have them and use them in their photo stories but I don't
think many did! I purchased them for their fashionista bodies. I and trying to decide
if I want to sell the head or keep it for the rare times when that facial expression
would be useful. 


I have the Dreamhouse Midge who doesn't have this smile and wonder why the
didn't make her that way too.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
