Christie Tribute

In the late 80’s Christie started to get different hair colors.  She appears in this photo with Barbie too. Sitting down is 1996 Hula Hair Barbie. In the back row are 1987 Island Fun Christie, 1993 Camp Fun Barbie and 1991 Totally Hair Barbie.  As the years go forward, it is difficult to know the difference between Christie and Barbie.  These dolls can be separated based on their various  hair colors. Christie would get long hair like Totally Barbie a few years later.

Christie Tribute


In 1981 Sunsational Malibu Christie and Sunsational Malibu Ken were created and they were listed as friends of Barbie. This was the first time that a black Ken had been created and he look great with his real hai.  (Note: The 1983 Ken had molded hair under the same name, Sunsational Malibu).  Brad had been gone for almost 10 years and Christie decided to go to the beach with Ken. In the series there is a Blonde Barbie and Ken, but the photo on the box shows Ken and Christie together.

Christie Tribute

Each of these Christies came with something a little extra.
Cool clips Christie came with hair clips for you and her.
Christie with the knapsack with her belly top.
Fruit style Christie had an orange scent smell and  came with a fruit belt for you.
Rain or shine  Christie had a working umbrella for her
Amazing Nails Christie came with plastic nails for the you. 

Each Christie has a different look, which was great because growing up she had one look for the longest and the late nineties brought new face and skin tone  changes.

Christie is taking pictures with Steven from 1990's with his molded Afro and Steven from the 2000's with his real hair. I loved the fact that Steven finally got real hair.  Beyond Pink Christie finally meets 1968 Christie and Brad.

Christie Tribute


Christie has had several body changes over the years.  She went from slightly bendable at  the knees to full splits.

Her body has allowed more flexibility for sitting and stretching.  Beyond Pink Christie in Black is able to sit  in a chair without falling. It works better if she is wearing  pants. Dance Moves Christie or Barbie can do a full split.  This one came dress in blue and I redressed her.  The box says Barbie but Teresa is identified so I figured there was a mistake and she should be Christie. Her box said, "you can make her move like a real dancer”.  In the back is Jewel Girl Christie.  She was created in 2000 with first time Ever Flex waist.  The doll on the end has traditional bendable legs that were standard on most dolls. I cannot remember her name. 
I wish when I started collecting in  1991 that I tagged each one, but when  you start, you think you will remember every dolls’ name.
