Barbie Polaroid Instant Camera
I got this beauty at my favorite camera shop in the flea market for $10 in June 2008. The guy had this one and a couple black ones, but I just couldn't help but get this crazy colored thing. I love the weird looks I get whenever I use it in public! :D When originally packaged this camera also came with a sheet of "Cool Barbie Stickers", but when I bought it used, obviously some little girl had had a blast, because the stickers were all over the camera, but they were peeling so I took them all off except for the five on the front as you can see in the picture. It's definitely one of my favorite cameras yet! I just hate the fact that the film costs me more than the actual camera did.

Very cool camera and excellent shot! It is an atrocity that Polaroid is discontinuing this line, and even worse that some camera shops are asking $40/pk (it's $19 on e-bay, so that's where I get mine!)
