January 26: Barbie Loves Elvis... or anyone else who will buy her a drink

Those eyes! She looks like a sorority sister who has yet to learn that mixing 'ludes with tequila isn't such a good idea. There are valid reasons these no-quality-control "Collector Edition" Barbies from the mid-1990s are worth less today than they cost twenty years ago. This is the "Barbie Loves Elvis" set from 1996-ish. I got it on eBay for cheap for a project I had in mind. The Elvis figure doesn't look much better, so that project might be shelved. (Well, actually, that project has already been shelved, because it was a Christmas-themed project that never got off the ground.)

The "old school" microphone stand that comes with the set is pretty cool, though, and so is the guitar. Those pieces may show up in future photos.
