Most of mine were hand-me-downs from my cousins. The were the 80's ones with zero defining features, no clothes and frizzy messes of hair. The only ones I can remember being bought were diving Barbie whose legs turned black like a wetsuit in water- I used to make her dalmatian Barbie, hair cut Barbie, was very upset when I realised that her hair grew back because it was a wig and hair beads Barbie who was my favourite up to the point that I got rid of them all due to her brown hair and fringe. I think that was when they started making Barbie have different looks, rather than generic long blond hair.

i wasnt To intersted in barbie i was more into my little pony and attacked them with highlighters lol XD

haha I love your honesty

I always cut the head of my barbies

My barbies happened to have a lot of sex too.  Oh well.  However, my very first and most adored barbie was Peaches and Cream Barbie.  Ken would always take her on the most glamorous dates.  Secretly I played barbies until I was like 14.

Patina!!  I totally forgot about this Barbie!!I loved her also!! 

To be honest, a few years ago, I didn't understand how a grown-up man could have an interest for barbie dolls. According to me it was the sign that this kind of person didn't want to grow and had a big psychological problem.

Thanks to you, Stephane I understood that my prejudges were totally a non sense.
I understood that you can collect barbie dolls as a grown up man and be responsible in real life, that you can normally socialize , that you can have a succesful job, that you can love...

When I was a child I loved barbie dolls too. My schoolmates wanted me to feel guilty. They said that I was a boy so I hadn't to play with this sort of toys. And it worked.
So I got rid of this entertainment. Barbie Dolls were definitly not for me... because  sadly i was a boy.

This passion of dolls, the ancient frustration and the guiltiness were sleeping inside of me and when I met men who collect barbie dolls it was a problem. Subconsciously, I was obviously frustrated and I couldn't bear a person close to me who could wake up in me the ashamed thought about my childhood passion : barbie dolls.

I had a lot of work to do inside of me to assume all this sad past story around barbies dolls. I had just to meet the persons who could help me to accept what I have been liking inside of me for a so long time. This persons had to help me to know why I liked dolls when I was a child.
I had a lot of work to do to assume what I was,  to accept what others are...

Thanks to you Stephane it's done.

My sister had that barbie   Now it is looks like crap because I used to play with it.  There was a reason I wasn't  allowed to play with anything of hers, I destroyed everything.  They just came out with a new version of that, as they have been re-releasing the old barbies for part of the 50th anniversary.

I have always loved Barbies, not so much now, but I used to play with them all the time.  I would spend most of the time setting up the house though, then I would always have the same storyline of a Cinderella barbie is homeless clothes meeting Ken who was rich and they would fall in love then I would get bored with that and put everything away again.

I once got a barbie wig and I would put them on Ken and cross dress him.

When I was kid I had a big collection of Barbies but they didn't last until today cause most of them had her hair cut by me and stuff and the ones who still in good conditions I gave them to poor children.

I love Barbie

Like Patina, I also played barbies long long time, til the age of 12. Me and my friend used to spend hours and hours playing barbies. I had like 13 barbie dolls but only one of them was my favourite (too bad I can't find a pic), and I used to make them clothes myself, knitted cardigans, knitted hats and scarfs; I even made some bathing suits And I had one Ken. So my barbie (I called her Cindy) and my friend's Ken were a couple and my friend's barbie (Carolina) and my Ken were a couple

God, I loved playing barbies.
