They could market a line of bendy dolls especially for authors who write erotic romance. I'd definitely purchase some bendy dolls. I must check out the Yoga Barbie that Jenyfer suggested.

I had this tiny set of drawers stuffed full of clothes for my doll. She was larger and easier to dress. When I learned to knit the first thing I made, after a scarf, was dolls clothes. I think I still have some knitting patterns somewhere. Thinking about dolls and things has made me remember how my mother used to sew and knit dolls clothes.

I've noticed a lot of kids have naked Barbies. I'd wondered about that. I didn't realize the clothes were difficult to take off and put back on. Lucinda - your cousins sound like my brother and sister. They used to do terrible things to my doll and her clothes while I was at school. Pat - I take it the Rockets are a sports team of some sort??? I've often thought of buying a doll so I have a physical muse - maybe one in a pretty fairy costume, but my muse tends to be a male so that makes things more difficult in that area! Fedora - LOL. It's not so much the equipment. It's more the limbs and positions. Sometimes I write things and when I go back I realize a body can't do what I have it doing. If you have two or more dolls it's a bit easier to think a love scene through. :mrgreen: Amy W – Barbie is going so strong that I think a 50th anniversary doll would be a great investment.

I had only one Barbie--it was a hand-me-down, and was shorn of any long locks. I spent a lot of time making little kerchiefs and hats and other hair coverings for her. My daughter is starting to be interested in Barbie now, but I haven't broken down and gotten her one yet--we'll see! ;p And huh about using Ken and Barbie dolls to work things out--but they don't have actual uh... equipment, right? Or am I missing something? :blush: LOL, Shelley! I had only one Barbie–it was a hand-me-down, and was shorn of any long locks.

My Barbie is not dressed as a Barbie usually is - she is clothed in a Houston Rockets outfit! She is part of my Rockets fan display! Both my daughters and all four of my sweet granddaughters have all owned or do own Barbies. The youngest granddaughters (aka the "baby girls") have a storage box full of clothed, semi-clothed, and totally unclothed Barbies. Besides lacking clothes, some of these dolls also lack various body parts! LOL Pat Cochran I’m a 72 y/o grandmother of 10 and yes, I

I got one for Christmas back in 1966. She came with packets of hair dye so I could dye her hair red and then back to blonde. One of my little cousins poured my hair dye down the sink, and I was stuck with a redheaded Barbie doll. I wished I had kept her, because I saw one just like her on sale with the original box and accessories for $500. I did own a Barbie. I got one for Christmas back in 1966.

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:50:22 +0000 http://www.shelleymunro.com/blog/?p=1684#comment-9161 Okay yes. I played with Barbies. My sister and I had a ton of them that we dressed and did their hair. I actually taught myself to french braid hair on my Malibu Sipper doll. I have all the barbie Fairytopia dolls in their boxes on a shelf along with the DC comic book heroine ones, in boxes as well. Barbie was always getting it on with my brother's old GI Joes and Ken. The little hussy was all about the PDA. Emma has a few Barbies now, one she takes to the pool named Ester, but/ nthey're mostly naked as she undresses them and then can't figure out how to dress them again. Her Barbie box lo I just got the new catalog in the mail and was considering the re-release of the Barbie and the Rockers for the 50th anniversary, my sister had one and I was so jealous, Emma stole the book from me. :sad: Okay yes.
