This thread is sooooo hilarious. You make me want to go out and buy some Barbies and play with.
(I'm an only child) I used to have an extensive collection of Barbies (in particular Black Barbies) Wellllllllll, my mom was like, "you don't play with them anymore, you should give them away....What the H*LL was I thinking! I listened to her and gave, do you hear me GAVE away all of my stuff, till this day I still regret it. I had collectors stuff. And the little girl I gave it too, ahhhhhhhhhh she trashed my stuff, (unappreciative little

....). She cut their hair, wrote on them (and she was old enough to know better.)
Sorry as you can tell I'm still a little bitter about that! LOL...
Another funny story about barbie, I loved her sooo much, I used to umm cough...steal

her stuff from the store when I was little. I know I was a little thief, I used to hide them under my bed, but dumb me, my mom used to clean my room, so of course she found them, asked me where I got them, and I lied and said my auntie bought them, I course my mom checked it out, found out I was lying, and yep, I got my but blistered

(not litterally) for that!
Unfortunately, i was was a repeat offender, after the 3rd strike, I gave up, and reformed. (Actually I got tired of getting spankings, and of course embarrassed when I had to take it back to the store.) I think I was 7 yr old or something. LOL

Dang, couldn't my mom understand! I did it all for the love of barbie!
My mom used to always say, it's the same BARBIE just wearing different clothes, of course I didn't believe that!
Just some of my stuff:
Mansion
Townhouse
Hart Family station wagon
Corvette
bicycle
Hart Family
LOTS of clothes
ETC, Etc
I even had the Michael Jackson doll (with the red leather outfit).
