Third in the Classic Ballet series, Marzipan from the
Nutcracker ballet reminds me of actress Dianna Agron (ok, I must confess that I'm a "Gleek" because I'm a fan of Glee!). Barbie’s blonde hair is in ringlets (waaay too much product, not a strand will dare be out of place!) and tied in a
ponytail adorned with a pink ribbon rose, pale blue ribbons and pink braids.
She wears pale pink stud earrings and has rooted eye lashes.
Barbie’s skirt
consists of layers of glittering pale mint green tulle and her bodice is made
of pink and turquoise fabric embellished with a ribbon rose. The dress was held up with clear plastic straps but it has disintegrated over the years so Barbie's ample "assets" ensures her dress stays on! She wears pink
tights and cloth ballet slippers (I prefer the plastic pointe slippers like
Sugar Plum Fairy and Swan Queen) with lace-up ribbons. This Barbie has
specially sculpted legs to emulate "on-point" ballet positions.
