Name: Lana 🍌
I started collecting Barbie dolls in 2023. Yes, the Barbie movie pushed me into it. I'd been considering collecting... something, and decided on Barbie. I had Barbie dolls as a kid, but they soon got pushed out of the way for Bratz. Secondhand Bratz dolls cost $$$ right now, and I couldn't justify spending so much for dolls I know I had 20 years ago. Typing that made me feel very old.
It was a surprise to people that I wanted to collect Barbie dolls, as our aesthetics couldn't really be more different. I think that's funny, and the Barbiecore aesthetic is (so far) limited only to the office.
Originally, I was mainly interested in collecting 80s/90s/00s Barbie, in peak Barbiecore outfits. Big, pink, frilly, sparkly. Things didn't go entirely to plan, as I now have some dolls that are older than my parents. LOL!
