I want to be Barbie.

Posted by kim on July 22, 2008

I saw these pics of Barbie shoes over on Crispy’s Shoes Blog (and I believe they belong to Hermine Vermeij), but the first thing that came to mind was a card that Squeak told me about, “I want to be Barbie. That bitch has everything.”  So true.

Man, I used to love to play with Barbie dolls.  I especially loved to go to my grandma’s house to play with Squeak’s old Barbie dolls.  My three daughters never got into them as much as I did, against my much delight.  But I still coin the guest room as “Barbietown” as it’s full of Barbie houses and cars and totes of Barbie and friends.  And it also houses my Holiday Barbie collection.  I have every Barbie in that collection from 1989 still new in the box.  The first one debuted in 1988 and goes for a pretty penny if you can find one. I’ll have to go downstairs and take a pics of the Barbies to share, and then maybe I’ll line up all the Barbie shoes!
