My friend Amy and I played Barbies as a never-ending, ongoing telenovela, in which the characters had affairs, were under psychiatric care, plotted to break up marriages, got pregnant out of wedlock (with the help of a rubber bouncy ball that was the perfect size to replicate a 9th month belly on a Barbie doll), and committed heinous crimes. It was AWESOME, and our mothers were often worried about us. :)SimonGodOfHairdoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212589438751647406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-52489090096962988262009-02-16T20:01:00.000-05:002009-02-16T20:01:00.000-05:00omggggggggggggg when i saw this pic.. omgg i almos...omggggggggggggg when i saw this pic.. omgg i almost cried it was just like mine~~ i use to loveeeeeee barbies and that house was my own worldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-21709338577590329222009-01-28T10:21:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:21:00.000-05:00Love your blog Kathleen....I had kissing barbie as...Love your blog Kathleen....I had kissing barbie as well and ironically she had a mohawk on the side of her head (as if she had some brain surgery) I was convinced back then that you cut the hair and it WOULD eventually grow back!. Elaborate plots as well with my barbie's...when they would get pregnant we would shove a bunch of their close under them so they'd have "the bump"...since I only had two Kens (blonde and brunette) and 6 barbie's there was alot of boyfriend/husband stealing! I always had Skipper running away because with all the drama no one paid attention to her....she was "too young to understand"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-18295578483275362782008-12-19T18:04:00.000-05:002008-12-19T18:04:00.000-05:00My cousin Lauren had that Barbie house!
