I took a deep dive into my crated dolls to find this week’s Friday Girl. She is High School Stacie from 1988. You have to love how Mattel keeps recycling names. How many Stacie’s and Chelsea’s have we had over the years? Different spellings but same name.
So, this Stacie is a friend of Barbie’s long-lost cousin Jazzie. Jazzie had two friends Stacie and, you guessed it, Chelsie who is a redhead. I have her too but not Jazzie herself.
Stacie is wearing her original outfit minus a white top. Not sure about the shoes either. As you can see, she has the Steffie face sculpt.
If you would like to see High School Chelsie I’ll try to find her for an upcoming post.
She’s so cute. The reuse of names can be pretty confusing sometimes.

Since I rename all my dolls for the most part, their original names don’t mean a lot to me. This Stacie is super cute though!

I always rename my “play dolls” and while I accept that you can know multiple people with the same name it is very confusing for collectors i think.

High School Stacie is a charming doll. I love all the vibrant colours of her outfit. If you can find your High School Chelsie it would be greeat to see her, too. Maybe even show the two dolls together. I do find the re-use of names annoying when I’m trying to identify a doll.

Stacie is a beautiful doll. I agree it would be better to have some new names though, there are plenty to choose from. I sometimes keep the name and will change it if I already have a doll with that name. I have a Stacey who is a 1974 Barbie with the Stacey headmold. She is on the Readers Gallery page receiving a valentines heart from Ken
