Like all girls, I loved Barbie. My brother loved it too (I caught him kissing her boobs when he was five). My fave one was the Twist and Turn Barbie that allowed me to braid her hair with a few clicks. I used the toy on my hair too ended up with lots of tangles (and a bald patch). Good thing I wasn't into collecting them all (I think I only had a total of 7 dolls), my brother would just cut the hair when I'm not looking or take the legs apart when wrestling with He-Man.
Happy 50th Birthday Barbie! I can't believe that every girl's fave doll is already 50 years old and still looking hot with her 36-24-36 figure. Moscow pays a tribute to Mattel's no. 1 toy with an exhibit of different dolls wearing Russian designs. The exhibition takes place at the Cara & Co. concept store where it runs for another 2 weeks. Doesn't she look so fab in this number? How I wish I had her clothes... and her hair... and her body.
Speaking of dolls, my baby does not have one yet. She's got lots of stuffed toys but not one doll (poor baby, so deprived). The first baby doll she played with was her cousin's Baby Alive, the toy that eats, drinks and pees. I found it entertaining to see the doll cry (sadist) when hungry. I have yet to see the version where the doll burps, snoozes and blows out her birthday candles. Can you dig that? There's even a Caucasian, African and Hispanic version. Hmm, unfortunately, my daughter can't relate to any of them since she's Swiss-British-Filipino. Doubt there's any doll like her!
I wanted to get her one but it's for babies ages 3 and up. Guess I have to wait for another 2 years. Gosh, I wonder what they would have invented by that time... maybe a human-looking robot like Small Wonder? Hope not!
