SKIPPERGENDER! . . . a gender related to skipper from the barbie franchise! this gender is related to ALL forms of skipper. this gender is has a purple streak, just like skipper. this gender may be related to being a cooler younger sibling who’s into tech. it may also feel plasticky like a doll! this gender may also relate to being kin with skipper. . . . the stripes do not have any specific meaning, they are just her colors.
[PT: skippergender! END PT]
[IMAGE ID: two flags and then a divider.
the flags are almost the same, except the first flag additionally has an image of skipper from barbie: life in the dream house in the middle. she is a fair-skinned woman with long, straight deep brown hair with a magenta highlight streak, and she’s wearing a short-sleeved purple shirt with a hot pink jewel-studded crop-top style jacked over it. the flags have seven horizontal stripes that are all equally thick except for the much thicker second and second to last stripe. from top to bottom, the colors are deep brown, purple, hot pink, blue, hot pink, purple, and deep brown. the divider is a thin, solid black line. END ID]
O1 ; tagging @accessmogai for image ID. O2 ; requested by no one, coined by the hero! if anyone has already coined this, kindly let him know!

Another Goodwill vintage Barbie (mini) haul! This one only included a few vintage fashion pieces, and a Skipper doll you might have spotted at Weird Barbie’s house if you saw the recent movie
First, the clothes (sadly there was only one fuzzy slipper to go with the two nighties):

And one of the only Skipper dolls I was interested in adding to my collection, Growing Up Skipper:
Tumblr media
This Skipper’s main selling point was that she could go from a young girl to a teenager with the twirl of an arm. The end result was a bit odd:

Of course you could push the mini skirt up to make it appear Skipper had longer legs rather than a loooong torso, or she could wear the longer skirt which disguised it as well:

Barbies of the BPCL: 1964 Skipper with carrying case
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This doll is Skipper, Barbie's younger sister. She made her debut in 1964 as a response to calls for Barbie to have children -- instead of making Barbie pregnant, she would instead babysit her little sister. Our Skipper comes with a carrying case and clothing changes, though she remains here in her original 1964 swimsuit. Skipper is popular enough that we have an entire book dedicated to her and her accessories: Skipper, Barbie Doll's Little Sister: Identification and Value Guide (1998) by Scott Arend, Karla Holzerland, and Trina Kent
Check out our other Barbies at #bpcl barbies.
The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use. Visit our website at https://www.bgsu.edu/library/pcl.html.

They are using Matte paintings in the Barbie Movie like in the early movie days instead of using CGI
And here’s a look at Skipper, she’s living with Midge in Chelsea’s treehouse :-)

This started as a joke after seeing the movie, but the second one I could actually see helping me adjust as a tween. Mattel please contact me I have so many ideas for educational Barbaras.

I have mentioned in the past some of the Disney themed Barbies that were not portrayed as characters from a movie, but as Barbie depicting a fan of the property.
The thing is though that there are surprisingly a lot of Barbies that are themed around... Barbie enjoying Disney. Way more than I mentioned in that post.
So: to summarize. Barbie is often dressed as characters from other media. I wanted to use the specific Snow White Barbie I had as a kid as an example, but there are so many different Snow White Barbies and non-Barbie fashion dolls that I couldn't find it. So instead, you get this one.
Tumblr media
My Snow White had a knee length yellow skirt rather than a full ballroom skirt, and bobbed hair. She may not have been a Barbie, but I'm pretty sure she was. I can't find her anywhere.
But throughout the years, Barbie has had a variety of different outfits where she is not herself portraying a Disney character, but she is attending a Barbie park, or being depicted as a fan of a particular movie.
Tumblr media
I really like this one because this depicts Barbie going to Walt Disney World as a park guest (and was, I believe, only available for purchase at Disney parks) but it shows here wearing a bottle of water around her neck on a lanyard. Theme park attendance rule one: STAY HYDRATED!
(Also this doll's hair is REALLY cute!)
Tumblr media
It's not just Barbie getting in on the fun, either. This giftset from 1991 shows Skipper and Ken also dressing up in themed outfits. (Donald, Minnie and Mickey: the three genders.)
One of the most curiously specific is Barbie's little sister's friend Whitney and her best friend, a stuffed Piglet.
Tumblr media
And she also has a cool prop: a working flashlight.
Tumblr media
Mouseketeers Barbie from 2005 features a then and now, showing Barbie in a knee-length skirt to represent the past and a cute pair of pants to represent the present.
I think my personal favourite, though, has to be the Disney Fun Barbie iteration from 1996.
Tumblr media
It's so busy. You cannot hope to escape that Barbie fucking loves Disney.
