Cali Girl, Hawaiian Style!

     The last official Cali Girl line was the Hawaiian Hair line. It featured Barbie, Summer and Christie taking a vacation to Hawaii. The girls all came with long, "wrap and twist" hair and over 20 hair accessories. They also came with suitcases and were dressed in Hawaiian style. As they had the bigger feet, the sandals they came with were the only other shoes you could put on these dolls beside the cowboy boots from the last line. 
     Two playsets were released with this line as well. First was a Hawaiian Party playset, which came with three activities: you could make a lei, a bracelet and a hula skirt. It also came with a small brown teddy bear dressed in a hula skirt. I imagine this is a souvenir for the girls to take back to California once the vacation was done. The second playset was the hotel the girls were staying at while in Hawaii. It had a check in kiosk where the girls could check in to their room. The room itself had a balcony and a hot tub. This set, unfortunately, is quite rare and I don't have it...YET! It's on my to-get list. 
     In this line, Summer, who is normally a brunette, became a lovely redhead. I'm not sure why they changed her hair color, but the red hair looked good on her. I had the hardest time trying to find Christie at a decent price, but I prevailed and finally obtained her. I was so excited! 
     Without further ado, the girls go to Hawaii!

     And with this line, the official Cali Girl line comes to an end. These dolls were great fun and are my second favorite play line (after Generation Girl). They were beautiful, had great, fun fashions and introduced some new friends. I was sad to see them go, but there was a bit of a sequel! Stay tuned!
