Videos: Jennifer Lopez and Robert Best Bring you the J-Lo Barbies

At first, I wasn't too sure about the Jennifer Lopez Barbies, but if I see them, I will most likely buy them. Here are two videos featuring Robert Best and Jennifer Lopez which discuss the process of working on the doll.  There are some nice close-ups of the dolls displayed. There are actually two videos, so when the first one ends, stay tuned for the next one.

I like the dolls as-is, but I can't wait to see how they can be customized and redressed.  Sometimes I think they look very much like J-Lo, and other times not so much.  Guess I will have to pick one of these Barbies up and see for myself.  A few of our members on the Doll Cafe Facebook group already have the doll.  Please check out these amazing pics.  The link will take you to an amazing re-root but there are various pictures of J-Lo scattered throughout the page.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria Barbie® Behind The Scenes

Will this Barbie be joining your collection? There have been photographs of her popping up on the net for months. She has now been released and will be available soon. I have not ordered her yet but I do hope to order her soon. She features the Louboutin face mold and a tiny red reproduction of the famous "Bandage" Hervé Léger dress. Also featured is the black harness and matching gladiator boots. The alternate look features a black-and white jacquard dress, open-toe booties. 

I hope you enjoy this video featuring Barbie Designer Robert Best and Lubov Azria.

My Silkstone Day

Silkstone in Yellow Dress, a photo by The Doll Cafe on Flickr.

Back in February I had the opportunity to visit Studio P.H. 8442 for an amazing time viewing the current collection of Silkstone Barbies in the display Portrait of a Hollywood Dressing Room. The display was set up and arranged by Robert Best. I took several pictures which you can see here. You can also click here to see other amazing Barbie pics and posts at Studio P.H. 8442's website.

I have spent the last several days going through my dolls, de-boxing and taking tons of pictures.

Brunette Generations of Dreams Barbie

Today I had the opportunity to attend the Women's Conference in Long Beach, California. Barbie Collector created this exclusive brunette Generations of Dreams doll signed by Robert Best to - benefit the Women's Conference charities. I think she is striking with her brunette hair. Here is a close-up.

Barbie 2010 Calendar with Robert Best Sketches

I had the opportunity to take a look at all of the sketches in this calendar when I was at the Barbie Convention. I now found that the calendar is available at Amazon. It's really worth the money and the sketches are suitable for framing after you use the Calendar!

I'm still going through my convention photos. What can I say the DC experience was incredible. I shipped back most of my dolls and they have not yet arrived. As soon as they do it's going to be Christmas again.

Here is a picture of me and Doll Artist Matt Sutton. He designed one of the official Convention Dolls. I will post pictures soon!
