| FLOTUS is prepared to celebrate POTUS's 52nd birthday |
Dressed in
The Barbie Look On the Red Carpet red gown and red open toe pumps, accessorized with silver clutch and the added-by-me diamond drop earrings and matching diamond necklace, my now one-of-a-kind 1:6 scale First Lady Michelle Obama wishes President Barack Obama a happy 52nd birthday!
 |
| "Thank you, Michelle. Because of you, it will be happy." |

FLOTUS began as
Barbie Basics Model 10. Without cutting her long silky hair, I restyled it into a bang-less pageboy to create a style similar to that worn by the
First Lady prior to January 2013.
The following photos illustrate how you too can create a pageboy without permanently shortening the length of a doll's hair.
 |
| This picture shows the original loose length of Model 10's hair. |
 |
| Band the hair, placing the first rubber band just below the desired length, place an additional rubber band below the first to hold loose strands in place. Note: I added a third rubber band near the end before completing the fold, tuck, and smooth procedure, illustrated next. |
 |
| Fold the lower ends under so that only the top banded portion is exposed, as illustrated above. |
 |
| The folded portion is folded under again and tucked into place to conceal the top banded area. Glide a hair pin horizontally through the folded area, if desired. |
 |
| Next, smooth the loose hair over any exposed humps and tuck away any loose strands to finalize the look as shown below. |
 |
| Model 10 with pageboy 'do is an excellent stand in as a playscale FLOTUS. |
