..i'm a barbie girl..

Ok, lemme give you a little backstory. I love Barbie. I've been collecting Barbies since I was born. And except for the few that played with, they are all in their original boxes in very good shape. I just love everything about her.. the gorgeous outfits, the accessories (oh the accessories), the Dream House! :D I just love her. And I love it when famous designers create Barbies. Like the fact that Linda Kyaw has designed an Aphrodite Barbie... be still my heart.

And then there's the Holiday Barbies. I started collecting them the first year they were put out, and I haven't stopped since. Just looooook at the 2009 Holiday Barbie in all her pinkness!

The next one really takes me back. She was one of my most favorite Barbies that I ever received when I was a little girl. She was just awesome... and now, she is being re-released! It's the 1980's Barbie and the Rockers doll! Rock on with your white pleather skirt!

And of course, there's her.. the newest Harley-Davidson Barbie..

Of course I have to have her because, well, I mean it's obvious :D Seriously, I could go into such debt just buying these gals.. and yes, I will be one of those mothers that will never, ever let her kids play with her collectible Barbies. Sorry kiddos :D

  1. Ha- I didn't know you loved Barbies. My dd did too until she was 12. I thought she'd never grow out of it. I'm glad she did. I *whispers* didn't really have a fondness for Barbie. :OP
    I'm more of a Strawberry Shortcake & Friends kinda gal! But you have got to get the Harley one. And the 80's one brings memories! Woohoo!!
    Hugs and Happy Collecting! Oh hey- do you collect Kelly's too??

  4. OMG i didn't see the new Holiday Barbie yet!! How gorgeous! I too love Barbie.. I used to have HUNDREDS, but the only collectable ones I have are 3 holiday barbies (2004, 2007, 2008). I really love the 50th anniversary one too, but it isn't mine yet...
