Patsy Carlyle: the Barbie Collector

Barbie's in the pink at the moment. There's a huge buzz surrounding a new comedy-fantasy film about the iconic and multi-vocational doll hitting screens next week. Collecting Barbie dolls has been a decades-long passion for retired St John Ambulance paramedic Patsy Carlyle. Her Helensville home aka The Pink Palace houses over 1,600 boxed Barbie dolls, and more than four hundred freestanding dolls. Patsy and hundreds of her dolls are being celebrated in The Barbie Collector at Wellington Museum from 22nd July - 10th Sept.
