MOROCCAN BARBIE

YEAR: 2013

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed  

PURCHASE DATE: December 2013

MOLD: Lara

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original

NOTES: Had to get the second Moroccan girl to hang around with the original! Lovely use of the Lara mold. 

GENERATION GIRL MY ROOM LARA

YEAR: 2000

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed

PURCHASE DATE: Unknown, likely early 2000s.

MOLD: Lara

OUTFIT DETAILS: 2000 Generation Girl Gear fashion for Ana. Complete except for sunglasses. This one never said Ana at all to me. Definitely more Lara, just like the one my Ana is wearing is more Ana than Lara. 

NOTES: Again, not sure why I didn't buy her when they came out. I like this Lara a lot, though her hair is a bit wild. 

GENERATION GIRL ANA

YEAR: 1998

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed

PURCHASE DATE: Unknown, likely early 2000s. 

MOLD: Lara

OUTFIT DETAILS: 2000 Generation Girl Cool and Casual fashion for Lara. Necklace is original. 

NOTES: I bought My Room Ana when that series came out, but ended up not keeping her. I've had multiple Barbies and Nichelles over the years, too, but ended up keeping none of them, as they weren't that different from other dolls. This original Ana is prettier than My Room to me, likely because she has red lipstick.  

GENERATION GIRL DANCE PARTY LARA

YEAR: 1999

PURCHASE CONDITION: Boxed 

PURCHASE DATE: 1999

MOLD: Lara

OUTFIT DETAILS: Original.

NOTES: My girl Lara! I credit this doll with sparking my renewed love of playline doll collecting as an adult. She was just so beautiful that I had to buy her. I'd mostly been collecting vintage pieces, action figures and My Little Pony at this point, but Lara marked a swing toward playline dolls that has never stopped. She remains my favorite from the Gen Girl line.
