1992 - Special Expressions Barbie (Whitney)

Such a beauty!

Special Expressions Barbie is a Woolworth exclusive to the USA in 1992, my friend Lori had sent me a list of Steffie faced dolls and I just glanced over the name thinking she would have some sort of strange expressions face. How wrong I was, this beautiful girl arrived in the box and was a huge surprise. She is one of my favourite girls now and is clearly Whitney. She looks a lot like the rare Ultra Hair Whitney so maybe her face and makeup where re-used? She has the most beautiful hair as it's a light brown shade and so shiny & glossy. Thanks again to Lori :)

1990 - Lights and Lace Teresa

Lights and Lace Teresa falls just out of my usual collecting era but I couldn't resist her. With her big brown eyes and masses of dark hair.

I am going to say nothing about the whole concept of this doll or what they dressed the poor thing in. The belt is the light and as for the oversized hairbow?!

A quick hair touch up, new dress and Jems earrings she looks a bit less like 80's Cyndi Lauper at a kids party! The dress is an outfit I loved as a kid and was a bargain at 50p from e-bay

1983 Sun Gold Malibu P.J.

I have wanted Sun Gold Malibu P.J. for ages. My good Barbie friend Lori found her for me, and while she doesn't have her bathing suit or accessories I think she looks great in my favourite Twice as Nice fashion. I would still like her mint sometime in the future.

1982 Dream Date P.J.

A bargain price from e-bay. Due to the fact the sellers pictures made the doll and box look faded.

Isn't she beautiful?

P.J is one of my favourite dolls ever with the Steffie face!

1983 - Sweet Roses P.J.

This is my 2nd Sweet Roses P.J. I had a P.J phase a few years back and got this version of her. I was never really taken with her so I sold her on. Since then my passion for the Steffie faced dolls has increased so I got her back. I won this lady from a lovely U.K seller, She came with very matted hair due to her curls. It took me nearly an hour to comb the dreadlocks into this style. She is sweet but not my favorite girl in the Steffie/P.J. range.

P.J. are my initials too incidentally!

1987- Jewel Secrets Whitney

Jewel Secrets Whitney is one of the most stunning dolls I think have ever been produced.


I think she just looks so Dallas/Dynasty in this outfit.

A beautiful Steffie face and masses of beautiful 2 toned hair.

Barbie & Whitney.

I have wanted Jewel Secrets Whitney for as long as I have been re-collecting Barbie. Trouble has been at £100+ she is very pricey and highly sought after.

I recently decided to sell/trade some Jem clothes and came across a guy who had her boxed and wanted to trade. I am waiting for Whitney to arrive as she is coming from the USA on the boat so 4-6 weeks is the expected time frame. In the meantime I saw this Whitney on e-bay from the same UK seller as I got Sweet Roses P.J. so I could not resist putting a bid in. I did not think I would win her for the minimum asking price but I did. I think that the seller did not put Barbie in the title so maybe she was overlooked, who knows. My boxed Whitney will stay minty (when she arrives) and this little lady will become a model for any fashions I pick up in the future.

1988 - Nurse Whitney

Beautiful eyes and silky soft hair

Here is her glamourous evening dress hidden under her uniform.
