![]() Though Haunted Beauty Vampire™ Barbie® doesn't quite fit into my personal collection, I was unable to resist her magnetic allure. I am a big fan of Bill Greening's work for Barbie Collector. A doll this steeped in fantasy and high fashion has tremendous potential for incredible photographic compositions-it deserves arms that can truly move to achieve the fullest, most intense dramatic effect! It was a brilliant idea to provide points of articulation on her wrists and elbows-making this body a hybrid of the gorgeous, though rigid, Model Muse™ and the very posable Pivotal™ Barbie® body. This enchanting mistress of the dark is absolutely to die for! Dramatically arched eyebrows paired with dark, smoky eyeshadow lend an air of ferocity to her hypnotic gaze. Painted white fangs protrude from her deep ruby lips. ![]() An elaborate braided up-do crowns her head. Long raven tresses frame the pale face, and fall in cascading curls down to her knees. Unlike the unsightly Nosferatu, this vampire is truly a stunner. Finally, though unseen, the shoes worn by this nocturnal beauty are a lovely pair of appropriately gothic-looking black heels with painted gold accents. A 'jeweled' collar necklace and matching blood red gemstone ring also adorn the doll. Golden trim adorns the waist of the gown, which has a hook-and-eye closure in the back. Underneath the cloak is a red-charmeuse-with-black-chiffon-overlay empire waist gown. This initially struck me as old-fashioned, so I was surprised to find out on the doll forums that the inspiration for this face-framing billowy cloak appears to be an Alexander McQueen creation. ![]() The red shantung floor-length coat has full sleeves and a dramatic, high collar. The spine-tingling clip shows glimpses of an ethereal beauty in a gothic setting. The first glimpse I caught of this doll was in the teaser video (shown below) released by Barbie Collector.
