The Barbie Special Edition Little Debbie Snacks doll was copyrighted in 2001. |
As noted in my
previous post, I purchased two different Little Debbie Barbies to redress as black dolls. This post features the second doll.
I purchased a $5.97 Barbie from Walmart to redress the 1st Little Debbie Barbie. Because that doll uses the
1990s Asha face, I decided to use another Asha-faced doll to redress the 2nd doll. For this redress, I used a doll I already owned.
Found at Big Lots in 2009,
Glam Barbie was selected for this doll. Glam Barbie (renamed Paulette) had worn a handmade
double-twist wig that a fellow blogger made. Thankfully, I did not cut the doll's original hair. Instead, I braided and pinned it in place underneath the twisted wig.

Glam Barbie (Paulette), found at Big Lots in 2009, posed for a photo before redressing commenced. (She shared her original red boots with S.i.S. Chandra several years ago.) |

Paulette models the Little Debbie Barbie fashion. |
Barbie Special Edition Little Debbie's fashion includes a straw hat piped in chambray blue, a white knit sleeveless top, a chambray blue cardigan sweater, blue and white gingham Capris, and light blue loafers.
|
Accessories include a light blue hair brush, a doll stand, and a Little Debbie gift bag of mock Little Debbie Snacks—Honey Buns, Brownie Lights, and Oatmeal Creme Pies. |
|
Glam Barbie/Paulette is redressed and boxed as Barbie Special Edition Little Debbie. |
Securing the redressed doll inside the Barbie Special Edition Little Debbie's box completed the recreation of my second black Little Debbie Barbie.
Mission accomplished.
The
real "Little Debbie" is now the executive vice president of McKee Foods, the company that makes Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

Your posts are always interesting. This was a great idea, I was interested in how you pinned a lot of hair under that wig...any idea of posting some how to's? for that? Sandi
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi! Thanks for reading this post and commenting. I didn't do anything elaborate to avoid cutting the doll's original hair. I braided it on both sides with rubber bands placed on the ends and tucked the braids under before putting the wig on. The wig, fortunately, has a stretchable stocking cap underneath which helped it stretch over the braided and tucked hair. You can see what was done in this blog post from August 2012.
