I LOVE Barbies!! No really, I do! Well, did. I had a ton of them when I was a little girl. I loved to dress them up and do their hair. I was sooo girlie! Well, happy birthday to Barbie! Wow, 50 years!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope I look that great when I'm 50...
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day Barbie :)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of fond memories. I loved making clothes for them out of scraps of material and then having them go on dates with Ken.
ReplyDeleteI loved Barbies when I was a little girl and now I get to play with them again with my little girls.
ReplyDeleteI was always jealous b/c my friend had the Barbie Motorhome!!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI loved barbies when I was growing up, I think I played with them til I was like 12. My girls don't really play with them much which saddens me because I love Barbie!
ReplyDeleteHappy 50th Barbie you look Great!!!
I use to have my Barbie hook up with my New Kids on the Block dolls. My baby was so over Ken!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA
Love your polyvore Barbie collage! Zen Cupcake is having a fabulous Barbie giveaway! (Stila Can included!)
ReplyDeleteI was a Malibu Barbie girl!
When I was growing up, my mom wanted to make sure us kids had individuality - so my older sister always got Barbie, I always got one of her friends, and my younger sister always got Skipper... :) So when I got older, I started collecting Barbie, then started customizing my own Barbie dolls...I have about 400 Barbies stashed in my attic. Guess I love Barbie, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the Virtual GNO!
ReplyDeleteDid you hear they released a Tattoo Barbie? She's certainly come a long way!
I can't believe she's over the hill.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she has been around for 50 years!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello....Happy VGNO!!!!
I used to have one of the very first barbie dolls ever made from my aunt - she has the biggest boobs ever!
ReplyDeleteI just turned fifty last year and I don't look like that. How come? Oh yeah, it's that whole plastic thing she has going on.
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO!
And she still looks good. Stopping in from the GNO

ReplyDeleteI had a barbie bus, and I though that was amazing! I got it for Christmas from Santa. I think that is my best Barbie memory:)
ReplyDeleteI loved Barbie, can't wait til my daughter gets to play with them too! Happy Friday & VGNO! Erin
ReplyDeleteHi, I am from the follow me club. I am following you. I look forward to your updates. Donna
ReplyDeleteI remember that my grandmother had bought a bunch of barbies for one of my cousins who ended up moving away, but she kept them anyway. When I discovered those barbies, I wanted to play with all of them, but she let me play with just two of them. She still has them, waiting for my cousin to get them.
ReplyDeleteBarbie continues to be a genius toy, especially since girls like to imagine themselves grown up and Barbie helps them do that
