My daughter saw, and wanted, her first Barbie when she was 3. But she got tired of them, in favor of other dolls, beanie babies, and mud. Whether she would be a girly-girl or not didn't come out until around 6-7. My daughter surprised me by becoming not so much a tomboy as a funky girl. She has a club called the Slime Sisters and you can only be inducted if you don't say eeew or yuck to gross things. She prefers mud for playing outdoors, and dolls for inside.

I scanned this last night, it was GIANT, I messed with it until it was smaller but now you can't see the polka dots, really. Anyway, this is the outfit I was referring to:

So when are you taking her shootin' sozobe? Mrs. cav claims it's very therapeutic, but then again, she hates her job.

Just be glad she hasn't found out about American Girl dolls yet!!! They're very nice, very expensive and an obession once the catalogues start coming to your house every month.

My daughter was finished with Barbies by the time she was 7. They're cheaply made and the hair turns into a fright sight after they're played with a few times.

When I was a kid, I had one Barbie and one Ken. I drew the nipples on her breasts and played with her until I was about 11.
she had outfits my grandmother made for her, and we used to have Barbie marathons in the yard, my friends and I.

Nowadays kids aren't into them as much. They get tired of them because of all the other toys they can have. so I wouldn't worry about Barbie as a bad influence.


OMG
he have a couple of those also!! Laughing now the mrs is into collection certain barbies for herself! I have the Husker cheerleader Barbie!

Frankly I'm concerned. She looks to young to be rearing a child.

I was never allowed a Barbie - although I wanted one - not for political reasons, but because Children Can't Have Things Just Because They Want It - and You Will Grow Out Of It In No Time.

I ascribe to this cruelty my over-buying of clothes for a number of years after I became professionally employed! All that pent up wanting to take clothes off and put them on...

ALL kids love doing that, by the way - every goddam little kid who comes into my office - (and they are legion) - regardless of gender - takes off any clothes that are on ANYTHING - whether they are meant to come off or not - and puts them on other things, or puts different clothes on - or leaves any number of naked, shivering little beings littering the place, to terrify the next kidlet to come in - naked fairies, people, puppets, dolls, (including the little fella with the willy), bears.....it looks like a nudist convention in there - they would pull the very fur off the big cat families, if they could....including that of the already purposely pathetic figure of the Littlest Leopard of All...

Not to mention all the tragic dolls' house people in the waiting room, whose clothes have now been lost forever, save those (including, thank god, grandpa) whose garments are glued on with a glue that MEANS it!

I had the sozlet when I was 5. Didn't I mention? We think it may have something to do with BGH.

(I better post a picture of myself as I look today before I get to Madison or people will be shielding their eyes and saying "But... but... you USED to be so cute!")

I've noticed that kids are into taking the clothes off dolls, not dressing them up, until they're about 6 . Changing one outfit for another starts after 7 or so . Poor naked dolls. I wonder what developmental thing that is where young kids love to dress themselves up as princesses and fairies, but play with their dolls naked?
