What kind of things you like about Barbie?

I just remembered! I had Civil War Nurse Barbie too! Now I'm wondering where all my Barbies have gone. I bet they are in storage in this locker I have probably never to be seen again.

And I had Victorian Lady Barbie! Amazon has her. Barbies must not be very good resale because when this one first came out she was $50 and now she is below half that. She's still beautiful! I just love the Victorian Era!

I had a few Barbies, but I used them to pay my younger sister for cleaning my room for them. So, Barbies were good tender...that's what I liked about Barbies.

The only Barbie thing I liked was my Barbie truck and horse trailer and the horse that went with it. My sister tried to get me to play Barbies with her, and I never knew what to do. I would just hold the doll standing there and repeat the words my sister told me to say. And if she told me to put a certain outfit on the doll, I would.

That was the extent of my playing with ANY dolls. I had one stuffed bear that I particularly liked..and I played with him by tossing him up and bouncing him off the ceiling and catching him again. I would see how many times I could get him to spin/flip in the air before hitting the ceiling.

Oh, I also played with a doll in one other way with my sister. I created this game where we would put the doll on a doll blanket and we would each hold the corners of one short end. Then we would fold the blanket over the doll length-wise, then snap the blanket flat as fast as we could, shooting the doll up into the air. Barbies were good for that, too, because they were small and light.

Nerdygirl would have been MY kind of girl!

I didn't mind Barbie---but I wasn't into all the tea parties and stuff that girls were into! And I wasn't social like most little girls are as kids. I wanted to just get out there and play ball, even though I sucked at it.

When I got a little older, though, I liked to eat. I could have used an Easy-Bake oven!

I think Barbie was launched in 1959.

I never saw a point in Barbie. You dress her up and that's it...well I guess some kids do the pretend play type of thing with her but I wasn't ever good at that. I liked toys that actually DID things, like bouncing balls. I still have stuffed animals because they're soft.

I've never really played with barbie, or dolls at all. I did have some though, but I was mostly just deeply annoyed that she couldn't sit on the barbie horses because of her legs. I did spend one 8-hour trip by car bandaging barbie, pulling the bandages off then putting them on again. For eight hours.

I was always abysmal at playing out stories. I'd spend ages making elaborate lego, playmobile and plain simple paper-and-carton sets and then I'd put a few figures in and that was kinda it. I did and do make stories, but it's all in my head.

I recall that I always liked the idea of Barbie but never actually had much fun with it in practice.

I never played with Barbie herself, but I played with her pets and furniture.

I didn't play much with Barbies or dolls. I mostly took their clothes off.
