I’m all about the spandex and leg warmers, but a sports bra and underwear on the outside of pink sweats?  You worry me sometimes, Barbie.

Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie

those velcro stars always got stuck in my hair

kimmythebaker:

WHERE are those dolls ; and WHY don’t I have one?  

what what?  Why don’t I have one either??  lol

Glitter Hair Barbies 1993

Full House dolls.  Did you have them?  I always wondered why poor Joey was never included in this… he was only sold separately by mail. lol

Barbie Fashion Designer includes shoes, Velcro, ribbons, rosettes, and sequins, plus a tube of glitter paint to decorate the clothes. (via chanterlafolie)

American Girls, pre-Mattel taking over the Pleasant Company in 1998

:(

I grew up with these 5 girls in my life.  Now, 3 of them have been retired and the Barbie company is running the Pleasant Company.  I don’t know what to make of life anymore. haha

imremembering:

Show & Tell 

Nostalgia double-hitter:

1. Our adorable little copper-top as the now-retired American Girl doll Felicity.

2. Photo taken at Zany Brainy.

I’m in love ^_^.  How sweet

 wait, Felicity is leaving now too?  This is insanity.  What IS the American Girl doll collection with Samantha, Kirsten, and Felicity in retirement??  rubbish.  

But can Dr. Ken fix this horrible haircut? (via barbieworld)

haha Tommy had the WORST hair I’ve ever seen/felt on a doll.  I was always trying to brush or wash my Tommy’s hair.  It was nasty.  

all the Kelly dolls had beautiful long, soft hair… I never understood why they did this to Tommy… 

Mommy’s Having a Baby (1992)

apparently, Mila advertised all of the dolls I loved. haha— here is another Mila commercial for glitter hair Barbie.  

btw, the glitter gel never worked right.  mine was always clogged up and it left the Barbie’s hair really nasty. lol  did anyone else have this experience?

(1994)

Telephone Tammy (1994)

(Mila Kunis?)

I use Tammy here to represent all the baby dolls of this kind (Baby Alive, Baby All Gone, etc.)  I loved them all.  This was high technology for sure.

(recognize little Mila Kunis there?) 

Teacher Barbie.

I love how they don’t even try to straighten the kids’ legs as they “run” from their seats

(thx @thegoldensunset)
