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!

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.

1987 - Jewel Secrets Barbie

This is the African American version of Jewel Secrets Barbie. I got her at a bargain price from e-bay mint in the box. I never had her as a kid and that bloody skirt/tote bag thing is just awful.

I think the AA version is cute though and she looks better out of the skirt. See Jewel Secrets Whitney for more pics.

Useless fact: Jewel Secrets Barbie is shown in the movie "Big" starring Tom Hanks

1987 Perfume Pretty Barbie (SOLD)

I would think that Perfume Pretty Barbie would have been one of the last Barbie's I got as a kid that I can remember. I was really quite dissapointed with her as her hair is rather dry and quite cheap to be honest. Maybe I got a duff one though?


It was the dress that reminded me of her, you can have it long or short.


I remember trying to squeeze Jem into this dress, it wouldn't fasten as she is quite a bit wider.

Perfume looks much prettier on her box art that I have previously posted and in this great UK ad. She was priced at £11.99 back in 1987 which is pretty pricey for those days. I remember Jem being £12.99 and I thought she was more deluxe than good old Babs!
