When you’ve always done fashion forward, sometimes taking the past and making it modern can be a new way to shock and amaze. Even though Holiday Barbies came only once a year, they’re not all rare since they were mass-produced.This is the year that Seinfeld debuted, Johnny Carson cancelled his show, and Bette Midler topped the charts with From a Distance. The Never Removed From Box(NRFB) has less than perfect packages but nothing too serious – a fraying here and yellow there but still intact. That doesn’t mean the packaging won’t have dents, scratches or flaws, but it does mean that the item has not been removed. She’s also one with beautiful festive accessories, including a red, gold, and green headband complimenting her holly-style dropping earrings. Her giant golden bell-shaped dress is adorned with large faux fur pipes separating the Victorian-patterned front from the glittery golden sides of her dress, designed to reveal a stunningly detailed underskirt.
