They're kinda creepy aren't they?
So I was over at Vit's Place and she had a picture of a couple of her daughters dolls that had been ...um....modified LOL. It put me in mind of when Katie was younger and her barbies.
For some reason, Katie WOULD NOT keep the clothes on her barbies so there were always naked barbies left lying about the place. Worse some of those barbies had no heads, some with no legs, some with no arms. Now if there were only say 4 or 5 of these it wouldn't have been so bad but for some reason, everyone we knew kept giving her more and more barbies. There ended up being close to 30 of the damn things - including the ken that needed a shave and Vietnam vet Ken (named by Potsie) who was missing a leg AND an arm.
Anyhow, one night Potsie got the fright of his life at about 3am. He was coming out of the bathroom and the light shone over his shoulder and there facing him against the wall was the Naked Barbie Army. The ones whose heads had been removed had their heads in their laps. It was freakin creepy. He came back to bed wondering out loud if there was something wrong with that girl. So I guess Vit should be ok until she gets that Army of the Dead thing tableau made out of barbies LOL

TELL me about it! S. has so freeking many of these dolls and none ever have clothes on them that people are always buying her Barbie clothes thinking we just don't have any. LOL I guess all girls prefer them that way.
Thanks for your comment regarding my decision to explore surgery. In my head, I know you're right about what my parents meant, but it's so easy to twist their meaning into what I think I want it to mean. It's like I'm not giving myself permission to be OK with my choice.
I used to wonder why kids always want to have their Barbies naked, but then I tried to dress one of those damn dolls and I found out.
Getting the clothes off is easy. No problem.
But trying to get that rigid little doll (even the flexible ones are still rigid) back into those skin tight little outfits is HARD!
I think kids just give up.
Collectively, who had more legs the army of Barbies or the Centipede?
its.already.happening! aaaaaagh.
there's probably fifteen barbies in this house, not a stitch of clothing on any of them. all with their hair standing up on end... nasty nasty nasty.
Rowan - gawd only knows, I have the barbie army and a huge wardrobe of their clothes put away in a bin lol.
Shannin - if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here if you need me.
Vegasbaby - At least the barbies didn't shoot across the floor in front of your feet. And I've never had to smoosh a barbie clinging to the wall LOL
Rachelle - I don't think that's it, maybe barbie is just a nudist lol
Joe - the Naked Barbie Army had more legs - definately!
Vit - I actually know how to get barbie's hair back to looking semi-normal. It requires Windex and patience.
Snicks - they might be haunted - depends on how much you are willing to pay for a haunted one.
It's like some kind of strange scene from the Skinamax version of Stepford Wives....
oh bollocks, blogger won't let me sign in (zed). i hate barbie dolls and always have done. an aunt of my daughters gave them barbie dolls and what did they do to them ? chop off all their
oooooooooooooooooooooops, i'm back again after supper. now where was i ?
as i was saying ... chopped off all their hair, dismembered them and it was really quite funny seeing as i HATE barbie dolls.
a skinhead barbie doll is a must to be seen though, really.
The reason for many naked barbies across the generations is simple. None of us wanted that fabulous, pert rack to go to waste, so it was our duty to release, lift and separate!
OMG--I just had to LOL when I read this entry. I've been reading for just a short while, but can SO relate to many of the things you blog. LOL
After reading your post, it inspired me to write my OWN Barbie post (but I didn't know how to link back to you). Thanks for bringing back the memories! If you get a chance, take a peek at my blog LOL
I also have a breast cancer page at http://members.tripod.com/mikki630-ivil/
Take care!
My daughters did the same thing to their Barbies - I don't think they had their clothes on for more than the first day they came out of the box.
They also never had a Barbie with nice hair for very long. It was always ratty and tangled... Crack whore Barbie, maybe?
