NEW NEW NEW Fashionistas 2012 HIT USA

The NEW NEW NEW Fashionistas are in the US!
Strange, because of shelf gridlock we skipped over a wave (featuring the too sexy Sassy) But that is a good thing because both waves of the Head Swappin line were AWFUL!

With the exception of  that last too sexy Sassy and Glam (Below)

The new Fashionistas are right where Barbie should be in 2012.
At least the packaging for the new Barbie Fashionista on the right (below). The pink goes perfectly with the outfit and together it makes for a fresh and exciting offering from Mattel.

The other dolls on the other hand are just frightful!
There are some positives.
They have a new skin complexion which is very appealing to the eye.
The above Teresa's fashion is not so terrible but there is nothing 'fashionista" really about these Fashionistas(and there never has been in the history of the line)
Take the doll below "Raquell" Looks like she's wearing a Misfits's reject outfit.
The outfit on the left (Summer) is just nonsense that no adult or child would want to wear
BUT
has an outstanding pair of boots that are two toned!
(But they don't necessarily go with the stupid outfit)

SO! An OUTSTANDING JOB with the new Barbie of this collection!

It's right where Barbie should be in 2012 (The packaging not so much the outfit unless you subtract the tacky frill on the bottom...she's not a birthday cake!)
However for these Fashionistas to really be true Fashionistas you may have to take a peek at the pages of Vogue or Teen Vogue or US Magazine or Star or any newspaper to see what girls really wear outside of the house!
BUT PLEASE,  JUST OPEN A MAGAZINE OR TURN ON THE TELEVISION OR SOMETHING!
