1985 - Peaches & Cream Barbie

Peaches was a childhood favourite doll. Barbie was a great in 1984/5 and the UK was really pushing forward Barbie over Sindy and I was hooked as I was an easy influenced kid ;)

I won this girl with an 1987 Sindy for 99p, she is an original Peaches too. I spotted her her a mile off so was pleased that on one did as she is quite popular due to the re-release. I have had her a while but she gets to show her face here as my friend Lori sent me her outfit. Thanks Lori :)

1985 Tropical Miko

Tropical Miko is an old favourite of mine (As is Tropical Barbie). We originally got Miko in July 1987 on a trip to Florida. It was very difficult to find Barbie's friends in the UK (If they stocked them at all?) so when we saw Miko we loved her.

My sister bought me this Miko for Christmas 2008 and she is a beauty.

Here are the many ways to wear the ruffle!

She has beautiful long silky black hair.

And a beautiful indian face mold.
