Mattel Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses Genevieve

Advantages: It's a Barbie
Disadvantages: The twirling wears a bit thin

One of the Barbie and The Twelve Dancing princesses range; in fact, I think this one is the most important one...the one the other sisters look up to. Little Miss was especially looking forward to ownership of this one, as she was often advertised and did look rather lovely in her peachy pink tulle- what looked like layers of it, and she really did look as though she could dance.

...remarkably like them- long flowing blonde hair, perfect features and figure. Her dress is rather lovely, with a full flowing skirt and underskirt. She also comes complete with a little cat, Jetty, although what this does I don't know. However, he is genevieve's best friend so I suppose he has a right to be there.

My daughter had Princess Genevieve for Christmas and we all oooohed and ahhhed at her in her shapely box and beautiful clothes. My daughter had seen all the adverts on the TV for this doll, which some kindly relative bought ...
...and was beside herself with joy at receiving it. I think I was as excited as my four year old when I took her out, desperate to see how this lastest barbie piece of merchandise worked, I pressed the button on her back and was disappointed when nothing happened 'you need batteries, Mum' my baby said So we read the instructions, utilized the screwdrivers from the christmas crackers and opened up the sections on the inner thighs of both of genevieve's ...
