The Shopgirl


The Parisian woman is seen as the height of style and sophistication to be emulated, and I know the look that The Shopgirl Barbie is going for, but the black hair with the white steaks just makes me laugh! I call it the Pepe Le Pew Barbie!

Barbie has arched eyebrows, purple shimmering eyeshadow and cherry red lips. She has a beauty spot and wears white pearl earrings. A pair of black-rimmed glasses hangs from a gold chain around her neck, and a gold bracelet adorns her left wrist.


The Barbie wears a black fitted dress with white elbow length cuffs and collar with a chiffon bow. A white rose (or a Chanel signature camellia?) is attached to her dress, and a shiny black, gold buckled belt accentuate her already tiny waist. Barbie wears fishnet stockings and black and white sling back high heels. She carries a Fashion Model gift bag containing a bottle of perfume (for Pepe Le Pew!). Very chic indeed, but the hair! Hilarious!
