Daily News | In the times of ‘Barbenheimer,’ these Philly and South Jersey collectors are strictly Team Barbie
On March 9, 1998, Ilana Volain, received a “Beyond Pink” Barbie, dressed in a bright pink guitarist outfit, for her sixth birthday. That’s when she learned that the doll was her birthday twin. Years later, the Mattel doll and Volain remain inseparable.
Her collection of about 500 dolls ranges from “Monster High” to “Project Mc²” and contains other customized dolls with bespoke outfits. But Barbie dominates the collection with about 350 dolls purchased online and thrifted. Some sit in their designated houses, and others stand on IKEA shelves in Volain’s office.
For the two collectors, Barbie became a sort of role model with her wide span of careers, and later diverse avatars. For Volain and Fanelli-Brennan, the doll was a representation of the endless possibilities a woman could aim for. As Barbie’s biggest fans, Volain and Fanelli-Brennan are eager to see the much anticipated live-action“I’m excited for the campy, fun side [of Barbie], playing into the whole ‘this is what everyone thinks Barbie is, but making it multifaceted and dimensional,’” said Volain.
