Move over Barbie

My mom saved her Barbie dolls from her childhood and gave them to my daughter. They look nothing like the Barbie of today. They are not out of proportion with legs and the waist being so small. The ones my daughter has also look younger, as in more childish.

I was startlingly impressed at the glaringly opposite contrasts some of the kids attributed to each of the dolls. Barbie seemed to elicit images of the negative stereotypes of the typical cliquish "cheer-leader" kind of girl, while the Lammily doll brought out emotions of the kind of girl they could see as a good friend.

Shrinks are going to love this new tool.

I like the part in the video where this little girl pictured Barbie as a cook.

I was more of a stuffed animal person, but I did play with Barbies sometimes. But animals have always been my passion.

I have some of my mom's old Barbies from the 70's, actually. I don't have any use for them anymore because I'm too old for them, but she doesn't want me to get rid of them.
I couldn't say for sure how they are without looking, but the ones I have aren't too different from the ones we have today from what I recall. Mainly the clothing style is reflective of it's decade.

I forgot to mention that my mom's dolls were from the 50's or early 60's.
 
I had a Terri Lee doll ... never played with her...
 
They look pretty much like the ones I played wi............. er, I mean, the ones my sister played with.
 
YUP .. did you know you could shoot a kitchen match out of a BB gun .. if ya hit your brother just right it will strike scuff it over his levis. :) ..
 
My daughter and her friend used to dismantle their Barbie dolls.I did not have Barbie dolls but I had Baby dolls and I would diaper them and change their clothes.I guess I was dealing with maternal feelings at a young age.
 
I played with dolls a little bit, but I was more into animals.
 
stuffed animals are softer then most dolls nicer to hug

Lol, really. Was yours a Red Ryder? My brother and I had those and we could put these little berries in them that grew on some kind of cedar tree. We could play "War" because we could actually shoot the berries at each other without getting hurt unless you were to get hit in the eye. I guess it was as close to what paintball is today.
 
I am a girl i was not allowed to have one.. so i took my brothers.. :) a daisy i believe

That sounds like fun... not wanting any one to get hurt... just messing around

Paintball actually hurts and the welts will bleed. You could purchase a cheap airsoft gun and it would be like a BB gun, but the more expensive airsoft guns might kill someone.

I still used BB guns when I was a kid though.
