tape + paper + one naked Barbie = future fashionista
"Fashion design. Faaaaaaaashion design. I am fashion designing! Fashion design. Faaaaaaaaaashion design. I am fashion designing!" Her voice echoed in our empty house while she feverishly cut away at the paper and tore apart perfectly equal pieces of tape.
It was on this day that I realized she was mine.

Stella McCartney, look out!
Such a cute photo ... better pad your pocketbook :)
That is so funny. I wish I had been that cool as a child!
That is so cute! One word for that Barbie's outfit...CLASSY ;)
That is so fun!
My 3 1/2 yr old strips hers naked and runs into the room naked and shows me that both her and the doll have "bodies". That means she is going to be a doctor right??? RIGHT!!!
Project Runway here she comes!
I felt the same way when Moo picked a Barbie because she liked her shoes...
with nooooo somber of doubt!
lol
She can totally design my whole wardrobe!
I feel a mother of the year award coming. You have clearly raised the kid right :)
She is so creative. That reminds me of when I was a kid. I would make life-size paper clothes. I must have played with paper dolls too much.
LOVE childrens imagination.

Too cute. How creative is she?!
What an awesome dress! I once saw a girl make a dress for herself out of duct tape!
Barbie is looking good.
Apparently, our children were separated at birth...
I realized mine for mine when I heard them cursing like a drunken sailor! Oh well!
She is a cutie pie!
I think that's so much more creative than dressing the dolls in those stupid clothes that you can't button anyway.
I love the creativity!
Oh that is too cute-I love it!!

Soooo funny !
Too funny! She's a doll!
Project Runway contestants are getting younger and younger. Why not put her in an internship this summer. Has she seen True Jackson yet?
and last night my daughter told me she wanted to have a family of gorillas at the zoo she will be the zoologist at....how did THAT happen?
Love it!! I would be head over heels if my daughter was doing this. Love the girly-ness!
That is hilarious! And, she did a GREAT job. Paper is NOT easy to work with! Very classy, too! No question...she is yours.
Oh man that is cute. I think Madeline would love to do this, but her "everything-must-be-exactly-perfect" self would probably win. She can't even deal when the clothes that come with barbies don't fit exactly right.
And I love that she had a sing-song voice while she designed. That is perfect.
HA HA HA - love this!!!!!!!
My five yr. old granddaughter prefers to dress her dolls in toilet paper.
At least she wasn't cutting Barbie's hair off and becoming a hair stylist. Super Cute!!!
A classic pinstripe, strapless gown for her first design?! Impressive!
That is awesome and so creative. I see a sewing machine in her near future!
I LOVE it. She is not much younger than I was when I got my first sewing machine -- a scaled down model that really worked. I'll bet she would love that too.
That is just too cute!!!
That dress is coming to runway near you soon!!
That is pretty stylish...you've got a lil fashionista on your hands!!!
That is darling!
Cute! My little girl loves to "put makeup" on all her barbies with markers. As if the dolls don't already have purple eyeshadow to their eyebrows!
Too cute. I only have a boy and he is all his daddy. The other day he took the patty off his hamburger and ate only that. My child would never leave the bun behind.
Yes, I love the Barbie outfit. She definitely takes after you. Classy girl!
That is really cute! She really is your daughter, HA!
Project Runway Star!
Oh that's just too cute!
Adorable!!
She did a wonderful job with the outfit!
What a haute couture outfit for Barbie!
That picture is perfect. Lola will be looking back at that in a few years knowing that she is your daughter too.
I think my oldest might be yours, too.
I wish I had that much creativity as a child. My Barbie would have just gone naked.
Hee Hee very cute. At first I thought the thing on her neck was tape because she'd possibly been "beheaded" by Jay or somethting. Then I thought it was a whiplash brace. Only as my third thought did I realize it was one of those choker things. See you can tell that *I* will never be a FAAAAAASHION designer. :-)
That's adorable. Reminds me of my Barbie days... Ahhh...
:) Cutie pie.
Oh how I long for a dress like that...
And that bow in the hair...ADORABLE! :)
Just wait, I'm sure that will hit the stores next season. I can see it already!
So cute.
Impressive...love the choker!!
This season on Project Runway...
Very cute and very creative!
Totally your daughter!
So cute!
And it's a LOVELY pin stripe strapless! Brilliant!
Oh, my! You must have been so proud! She's her mom's daughter, alright.
Oh I love it...how precious!
I love how she tears off the boring cliche clothes and decides to work with a plain canvas..and..creates her own masterpiece!
niiiice. way better than the felt skirts i made way back when!
How sweet is that! I hope to have a girl someday. I look forward to playing dress up, Barbie and maybe even fashion designer.
She is her Mommy's girl!! :-) Very cute.
I think I see a future Andy from Pretty in Pink in the works, keep her away from the richies and don't let any one named Ducky befriend her
I love it.....just like her Mommy!!
What a gorgeous dress. That doll is definitely ready for the cat walk!
And she's a "doll" herself! : )
Start saving for FIT. That place is EXPENSIVE. ;)
Try giving her some yarn and old tights and teeshirts - that's how I started designing for Barbie.
Mrs. Obama is on line two -- she's looking for hot young designers like her!
That is priceless and adorable! Maybe it will be on this day that you also have documentation that she chose her career path.
So cute - way to go, Lola!
ps: would love to enter the contest again!
So sweet. I love it!
such a cute photo! love it!
Donna Karan watch out!
Cute photo!
She is most definitely YOURS...through and through!
Lisa
looks like you have a future designer on your hand.
Love it. I think my mother had the same thought when I started reupholstering my dollhouse furniture...
Oh, that is just perfect!
haha, well thats rather good news, because speaking from experience Older Cousins + Littler Cousin (being me) + Scissors + Barbie = Traumatized for life, I wish I knew every detail to what happended but I do know that I am successfully terrified of barbie's and think they are going to come alive and hurt me. The only things I can muster up from being 4 is watching them cut her hair and dangle her by her head, then it goes blank and turns into me running down the stairs of my cousins house being a crying raving lunatic child. Glad to see your child will have fonder memories of barbies :0) haha
Very creative!
That is so cute! I don't think I could have ever thought of that as a kid. Do they have a "Project Runway" for the under 10 crowd yet?
Oh oh oh!! My cousins and I used to do that at holidays and birthdays with wrapping paper and tissue paper. It was SOOOOOO much fun.
