#barbie vampire

Another late post, but here is my current doll diorama on display! Same scene, but a few less dolls this year lol. This time it features my two "Barbie on a Budget" Haunted Beauty dolls (ghost and vampire), plus two witches (I always tend to use that redheaded one lol). I do intend to tackle the Haunted Beauty zombie at some point; I just have to figure out how exactly I want to go about it, and if I want her to have old/dirty clothes or do a different approach. :D And of course, my famous little jars of various potion ingredients are included! I love those things!

Last year, I made a Barbie inspired by the Haunted Beauty ghost. This year, I did the same thing for the vampire! I call it Barbie on a Budget, because I'm not going to spend $300+ on a doll LOL :D I had this Barbie Basics doll in storage, and she looked perfect already with her dark red lipstick and matching fingernails and toenails. All she needed was clothes and accessories. I found a cheap dress on eBay - no idea what it's from or if it's even Mattel, since I don't see a tag - and a great cape on Etsy. I used the doll's original shoes, then found the teeny tiny bat charm on Etsy, attached it to a chain, and BOOM! We have a vampire Barbie! :D Her dress isn't as extravagant as the Haunted Beauty, and she doesn't have painted teeth or more than five points of articulation, but I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out. I can always add teeth later, but a lot of people say they don't like how Mattel adds vampire teeth lol so for now, we'll pretend they're behind her lips. :D
