Certainly Candi isn't going to fall back into old patterns ... Let's face it, even though we may have Helena to thank for the original candi (who liked her anyhow?), everything that we know and love about Candi was brought about by people other than Helena. I didn't mind the Retro fashions. I felt as though they were inspired by vintage Barbie fashions. Certainly vintage Barbie fashions are classic enough that we can draw inspiration from them, right? I think that knocking off a new concept is different that being inspired by something.
