Barbie
a lot of people have some really strong opinions about Barbie, and her value as an appropriate gender model for children… I can see both sides. my kids all wanted Barbies and I didn’t think it would make any positive impact to deny them. it’s not like they’re guns for chrissakes. I’ve seen them make guns out of toast, for that matter. I didn’t want to deal with the frustration of having to dress toast fashion dolls.
my one real complaint about Barbie? they’re always fucking NAKED. I’m so tired of picking up the hordes of naked Barbies with feral hair. for some reason I find it really offensive. it’s tacky.
of course I was little better as a kid. my barbies had illicit nakey romps in my closet with the sunshine family on a regular basis. still, MY dolls got dressed afterward.
Barbie’s a ho.

you got that right. and i’m permanently scarred from when one of my uncles picked up a naked barbie at thanksgiving or something and said “barbie is stacked!” i shudder, even now, at the thought.
Aw, I remember my sunshine family. I find the naked bean bag body baby doll just as obnoxious, they get so dingy and you can’t wash ‘em.
my favorite barbie game was naughty barbie and her goodie twin sister, and how the naughty barbie used to trick ken and pretend she was the good one, his real girlfriend.
I dont think any kid does the “right” thing with those dolls, ha.
Great idea. Working Girl Barbie. Think of the outfits!
all those naked barbies in the closet….they’ll put lesbian thoughts in your kids’ mind.
get some gi joe for barbie, yo!
Ohh, you DONT like it.. Hmm *puts my clothes back on and brushes my hair* Sorry
LOL! But Derrick from Barbie and the Rockers was hot!

Sorry, *Taking back props!* even though they were deserved.

I used to shave my dolls head.
Both my kids take a pass on her. Mosta’s been given a few, but prefers dogs as people and Tumbler is nothing less than repulsed. She is a Pisces you know. March 1st I think.
i only had one as a kid; she was usually at least bottomless becuase holy fuck those dolls are hard dress. those ridiculous tiny shoes, and her unbending legs…
bill’s sisters had this doll called “grow-up …somebody”. she started with a flat chest, and if you rotated her arm, her torso elongated and she grew boobs. talk about poor body image, i nearly tore a rotator cuff after seeing that.
Okay – good. I thought Tara was just a slob about her Barbies hair and nakedness. I used to take Mother’s maxisuperstuckpig pads and slap them to the floor of the townhouse; good Barbie beds!
You have to relocate the naked ones, otherwise thay go feral and rome the house looking for small prey.
You thing nekkid ones are offensive? Someday I’ll post pictures of my S&M/B&D barbies! Heh heh heh…..
RACHE – that was Growing up Skipper!!! I have ALWAYS WANTED ONE. They are so fucking hard to find!
ahahhaa. YESSSs they’re always naked in my house, too.
I started playing with Barbies late – like 11 or 12. My friend had the dream house and a sex book she got from her mom, and, well, you do the math.
skipper! right! i kept thinking “grow up kenner”, but i knew that was wrong. wanna hear something funny? she was naked, too.
Of course she was…aren’t they all?
hey the girls got barbies for x-mas they now have plastic undies !!!! but yes ours are always nekkid, unless i dress them.
my little sister tried to get my mom to dress the dolls and mom always made me do it.. i used to color ken’s hair and give barbie haircuts.. i dont think mine were naked though
my super-liberal aunt wouldn’t let my cousin have Barbies because she thought it was degrading to women. she chnged her mind when her child started getting picked on at school for being stupid because she thought troll dolls were barbies- which is worse?
I suspect Barbie trawls the easy bake oven at night and has put on a few extra pounds…
So … what are you saying really?
lmao at ‘feral barbie hair’…..
No matter how much money you spend on Barbie clothes…they will ALWAYS be naked!!
