I was happy with just one original Barbie, I can't fathom having 65! But if you got it flaunt it. My peak Barbie years were the Malibu orange years. My spinster Aunt Sadie gave me the entire Malibu family, and Santa followed with the orange camper and a house. I took them everywhere. I mean, EVERYwhere. I'll never forget those last moments of packing for a vacation , and my dad at the trunk of our 65 Galaxie, fitting in the suntan family and their accessories. Dad never failed me and neither did the Barbies. I even had an orange and pink bikini. To this day, these are the colors I gravitate to. What a sight to behold!

Over the last 15 years I've collected vintage Barbies/clothes/furniture and reproduction vintage Barbies. And while the mirror is ultimately cool, I'd never display my true vintage in this manner. The reproductions - more likely. I'd just shudder at the idea of exposing them to the elements of the house. Even if one does not smoke, there's food odors, fireplace odor, sunlight, extreme heat/cold, etc. It looks (I scrolled to enlarge the page so I could see the dolls closer) as though he's got a mix there of true vintage and some reproductions. No matter, that's got to be one pricey mirror should it ever go up for auction! My goal is to find the perfect size case so I can display different scenes (living room, kitchen, bedroom) and rotate them out so I can enjoy my collection. I adore my vintage and repro Barbies!
