Barbie Girl

“Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses” is the 6th full length, direct-to-DVD princess story. In this enchanting musical tale, Barbie partners with the New York City Ballet. The ballet moves in the movie are choreographed by the New York City Ballet’s Master in Chief Peter Martins and performed by the ballet company’s prima ballerinas.

of the 12 dancing princess is very different from the story presented to us in the barbie version.

There was no evil Aunt in the original version, only alot of dancing at night, and an old soldier who managed to figure out the secret of the worn out shoes and thus win for himself the hand of the eldest in marriage and the throne of the king!

The interesting thing about the names of the 12 princesses is that their first names start with the first 12 letters of the alphabet; for example, A for Ashlyn, B for Blair, etc. Another interesting thing is that the Flowers that appear on the books and the stones are on the girls dresses. On Ashlyn-Genevieve, it is just below the neckline of their dresses. On the twins, it is off to the side. On the triplets, it’s located on the sash in the middle where the dress meets the upper part. (Much like a belt buckle.)

It’s the oldest sister who is the focus this week!  She is also available on ebay – you can see her here!

Ashlyn (ASH-lin)
The oldest sister, who is practical, calm, and knowledgable. She loves music and especially likes to play the flute. Ashlyn is straightforward and cares for her sisters, for whom she tries to act as a role model for. Her favourite gemstone is the garnet and her flower is a geranium. She has dark brown hair and wears a purple dress.
