I thought it was a reference to Lenna at first. Also, sorry if this is a little crude, but since when does Barbie have nipples?...
The purple-haired Barbie was originally a mermaid:
It's a cheap playline Barbie, but it's popular among doll collectors because of her head ๐ People usually buy her and replace the original body. I used a MengF body. Here is my old post. I covered her breasts, but there's no NSFW. You can see more photos of the body in this article (not mine!). It's in Ukrainian, but you can just skim through the photos ๐
Hehey, so she got her legs! I hope she can still sing! :) That's cool, I had no idea about any of this. It's uncanny how much the details on the collar bones add to the realism of the body.
The hat is perfect, it's incredibly tightly and cleanly crocheted once you consider the scale!
Thanks ๐
