The Essence of Nature

What can I say, another thing that I love is different color hair. Don't get me wrong, I love the blondes as well, but there is nothing like a Barbie with purple and blue streaks in her blonde hair, or better yet RED!!!!That was the main thing that attracted me to this series and they are just as pretty or more so in real life.

Second in the Essence of Nature™ Collection, Whispering Wind™ Barbie^® doll is a whirlwind of beauty. Fashioned in a fantasy garment reminiscent of a blustery breeze, her taffeta skirt features a liquid palette of sky blue and lilac hues swirling about. Her pleated bodice is printed in matching fluid tones and embellished with sparkling sequins. Attached to the dress is a sequined chiffon sash that flows to one side as though it's swaying in a gentle breeze. Whispering Wind™ Barbie^® doll's long platinum blonde hair - tastefully tinted with tiny strands of lilac and blue - gracefully gusts to one side, while she holds a white dove in one hand.
