​Hi Dolls! I'm Lynne and have been a Barbie fanatic since I was a young girl in the late 60s. I rediscovered my love for Barbie in 2009 and started collecting. My favorite Barbies are from the Mod Era 1967 - 1973. Some may call it an obsession but I prefer the word "hyper-fixation", haha. Thanks for the fab descriptor, Trixie Mattel (LOVE her, btw)! Got to meet him (Brian - my current crush!) at his infamous mod-renovated motel in Palm Springs, The Trixie Motel. Highly recommend! #NeverTooMuchPink

Did you know Trixie Mattel collects Mod Barbies?!  She's also from Milwaukee, like me. #SoulSisters

I also love and collect other early 70s dolls like Dawn dolls, World of Love, the Sunshine Family, Dusty and others.

Visit my contact page to learn more about me or to drop a note. Also, check out my MANY photos of Mod Barbie on Pinterest!

How you celebrate turning 60! At the Trixie Motel, of course.
