What a knock out!! First of all, when I renewed my interest in Barbie just a few years ago, I happened upon Hollywood Hostess and was thrilled by how tres chic she was, but disappointed because I thought she was someone else's one-of-a-kind creation on display; I didn't realize that she was an actual Mattel production doll. I HAD to have her in my collection, but what agony - she was in a price range that I couldn't just acquire on a whim, so decided I'd just have to hunker down for a price that would suit.
I mean, she's HAUTE Hollywood Hostess (with THE mostest). The red tresses in a side-swept do with the retro face sculpt definitely suit a Hollywood of yesteryear when the actresses of the day were indeed Classy. Now, I simply have to tell you what the outfit reminds me of. In the "Tales of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter, there's a story about the "Tailor of Gloucester" in which an elderly Tailor has to complete a fancy outfit for some nobility but it's a struggle because his eyesight is failing, so little mice help him out by cutting out the waistcoat out of beautiful brocade, etc., and overnight create a masterpiece. Well, Miss Tres Chic Barbie's outfit is of lace that is lined and shaped just so - no way could a real person craft, cut and stitch this diminutive ensemble to such perfection - it has to be the same sewing mice from that story.
All of that to say that the details of this doll are superb and the orange chiffon scarf/shimmery aqua jewelry pieces compliment the whole look to PERFECTION! Subsequent to her purchase from Amazon (which offered the best price) I then had to obtain "French Maid Barbie" and featured her in a diorama with a tea cart pouring high tea - old Hollywood style, as you can imagine how the studio Execs. would have indulged her. Anyway, I could go one and on, but if you're a Barbie enthusiast and she's not in your collection, it's i-n-c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e because she's par excellence! (See how she inspires the snippets of French in the description)
