Partyin' at Barbie Club, Part 2

And the fun continued on through the night...

There were more people for VTBarbie to meet.

Then there was a vintage photo op...complete with a vintage carrying case.

The party was in full swing. VTBarbie bumped into Travel Ken again...and his gorgeous blonde friend.

VTBarbie certainly didn't mind the attention they paid to her.

And then there was the doctor...VTBarbie had a blast!!

The party continued in the loft by Mod-o-Rama.

VTBarbie loved all of the details that were put into the loft.

Mod-o-Rama specializes in making mid-century furniture and rooms.

VTBarbie had her eye on a few pieces that she would have loved to take with her on the rest of her journey.

Who am I kidding?!! If I could have given her the entire room, she would have been estatic!

VTBarbie and Travel Ken talked about their travel adventures and chatted about how they will meet again in Florida.

And then it was attack of the doctors again and we decided it was about time to wrap it up.

But this Barbie said it all...Happy Birthday Ken!! Fifty years of being there for Barbie!!

Partyin' at Barbie Club, Part 1

Almost 2 months ago, I had a visitor, Barbie, the Vintage Travel Doll. Vintage Travel Barbie (VTBarbie) is traveling the US, making new friends before she makes it to the National Barbie Convention, where she will be raffled off. I was lucky enough for her to visit close to her birthday. She arrived on March 10th and we went straight to my Barbie Club Meeting with the Windy City Collectors.


The crew was all there to welcome both VTBarbie and the Travel Ken.


Both Barbie and Ken introduced themselves...then it was time for the surprise...


A cake and candles!


The club sang to the Travel Ken, to Vintage Barbie and to Vintage Ken, who was also in attendance.


It was a great moment considering all that Ken has been doing to win Barbie back.

Another Barbie had a special cake for her Ken, and Vintage Travel Barbie helped to sing to him.

Vintage Travel Barbie us very friendly and walked all around the meeting to meet new friends.

This group was celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Boy, March sure is a busy month. Barbie's birthday on the 9th, Ken's birthday on the 13th and St. Patrick's Day on the 17th.

VTBarbie found yet another Ken and Barbie celebration!

And she found this Ken who'd had one drink too many!
