Wigstock!

In 1963 American Character's Tressy doll brought forth a cornucopia of hairstyling options with her unique "hair that grows" feature. Every new look yielded transformation. And every transformation yielded a new iteration of Tressy. Kids were enthralled. 

Not to be outdone, the Barbie doll, ever transformative, appeared in toy store shelves as Fashion Queen Barbie: one doll, three wigs, unending style options.  The rest is history - fashion doll history- and an ever lasting imprint in vintage dollectors' minds was forever etched. 

In wigs by Yatabazah (and one by Monique Trading!) and a silvery chainmail dress by Lotus Dolls Boutique, a very 1960s Fabiola of Hollywood, by Mike Buess, follows her vintage friend's path in a most luxurious way. 

This is Fabiola's Wigstock!

"Mai Fun Ta" is an orange delight with its hyperbolic flip.


"Electric Rose" gives Fabiola the hue of science-fiction summer berries. 

"Lolota-Lola-Lolita" provides height and substance when arriving and leaving. 


"Blossom" is a Monique Trading staple. Style and lacquered, it's also a protective helmet. 

"Cucu-Lala" is a titian pixie style with a statement black bow. 


"La banane à la moutarde" is all about yellow! Not blonde, but yellow!

"Marthe" is a sedate style, one of Yatabazah's signature looks. 


"Boom!" is a wig of sequins. For there are days when only sequins will do. Boom!

A Little Flip

Flannery, the new 3D-printed fashion doll by Joey Versaw visited Dolldom and loved modeling human hair hard cap wigs by wig master Yatabazah.  Modeling a fabulous bubble dress by Marirose and pair of 3D-printed high heels, Flannery is the epitome of Paris style. And her cat Mitchou could not agree more!

Le chic

How to define it? Some have it, some don't. Flannery, the new 3D-printed fashion doll by Joey Versaw certainly does have chic. A lot of it. Recently, Flannery visited the Dolldom studios for several projects and as she was photographed with her ingenious reversible 3D-printed wig, Dolldom's editors suggested a session wearing human hair hard cap wigs by wig master Yatabazah.  Modeling BFMC's "Classic Black Dress" and pair of 3D-printed high heels, Flannery is the epitome of chic. Even her cat Mitchou agrees!

The Legacy of A Fashion Queen

It was 1963 when Mattel issued the Fashion Queen Barbie doll in a fabulous gold lame swimsuit and turban set. Most shocking was the sculpted head of brown hair that begged to be covered with any of the three synthetic fiber wigs that came with the playful new model. We at Dolldom love to see these distinguished fashion icons wearing the turban and the ingenious swimming cap issued with Miss Barbie in 1964. Why? The wigs, although fun, when improperly styled, can make a woman look, well, fake.

Today, ladies enjoy the luxury of natural fiber wigs that come from animals such as humans or goats. Yatabazah, peruquier to the stars of Dolldom, knows very well that fit and scale can make or break the deal. As Persia Idols Habanita and Carla show us, the right wig not only enhances but also allows the woman to change her identity in order to meet the exigencies of real life.

Habanita au naturel

Habanita and Carla model an Alexandre de Paris wig most commonly seen on Dheei.

Although beautiful,  the scale, shall we confess, can be overpowering. 

 Now in Yatabazah's human hair Mensonge...

Habanita wows us...

and Carla makes us salivate.

In Yatabazah's baby mohair wonder,

Habanita reigns supreme, 

and Carla owns the place.

The lingering question for us all now is: How would a Fashion Queen Barbie look in Yatabazah?
