Christie Tribute

These are the Butterfly Art Dolls.   This is one of the rare times that I purchase Christie, Steven, Barbie, Teresa, Kira, and Ken.  I thought I was going to be rich.  The dolls were in the toy stores, but parents were in an uproar because it was promoting tattoos.  Mattel had all the dolls removed.  I was so happy I was able to get them before they were removed.  Just my luck,  they came back on the shelves within the year.  There goes my early retirement.

Christie Tribute 

Some of the series that Christie was in was dealt with beach or water.  This is probably where she met her last boyfriend Steven. Brad was gone and now a new guy was on the scene. She appeared in several series with him.  In this photo: Cali Girl Christie.  She came with different feet. She had bigger flat feet and could not wear any of the old shoes. She came with a paper surf board.  Beach Party Steven. Flip and Dive Christie. She loves to do flips

off her cool diving board.  She came with her own diving board.

In these series no one came with shoes.

She is a little shy about her feet.

This Christie is Party Party Party Christie.  She was an exclusive for Walmart.  This is one of the few Christies that I left in the box. I like the gift set and did not want to separate it. The back of the box came with Party invites.

These Christies came with something extra

Chair Flair Christie came with an ever flex waist and chair.  “Hanging out with my friends is fun in our cool butterfly chair”.
Fashion Photo Christie came with a camera and stand to move her into different poses. Her waist was flexible to create various poses.
Secret Spells Christie came with Barbie and Kayla- the power of 3.  The dolls were loosely based on the television show Charmed.  She came with a secret book compartment and potions. She was school girl by day and witch at night.
Cut and Style Christie. This is the second doll under this name. The first one was created in 1994.  You could cut her growing hair again and again.  She came with extra pieces of hair to add.

Day 5 of Christie tribute:

Christie has had several hairstyles over the years. Pop life Christie wears a short hair cut. The first one since the 1970.  She is surrounded by Jam and Glam Christie. She is showing her blue hair but with  a twist of the scalp, she is now wearing black hair. Glam and Groom Christie was a gift set with her pet dog, Keely. She wears two curly pigtails.  I love the hair and orange jumpsuit on Cool Lookz Trent and Bendy.  Hollywood Nails Christie has hair that is  single strands that looks like microbraids.  She is one of the first Christie’s that came in two versions.  The faces and hair are different.  The hairstyles have two different cuts and textures.

Christie Tribute continues:


Christie has changed over the years  from 1970 to the 2000.
They are ready to celebrate in their crochet fur coats.  Can you guess the years that they were created.
Live Action Christie, Very Velvet Christie, Rio De Janeiro Christie, Pink and Pretty Christie,
Malibu Christie.

After the 1969 Christie, she would never wear short  hair again until 2007 with Pop Life Christie..  Live Action Christie is the first one to wear Long straight hair.  Live Action made a one time appearance and then she was gone. There are two versions of Malibu Christie and then she was gone. They are unique in that you can clearly identify them as Christie.

Christie has a date for her celebration and it is talking Brad.  He looks good after being gone for 50 years.   Talking Brad would say,   My Name is Brad, what is yours? CHRISTIE is the greatest. Baseball is my favorite sport.  Come on, let’s go to the movies.  I dig the mod look. Hey, Let’s all go for a ride.  The love affair would only last a short time and he would never be seen again.
