My friends did though, so I have Barbie memories from their houses. Usually we were busy building forts out in the woods or running through the neighborhood playing games or we were at the beach. Dolls weren't really on my radar. I do have to say to Ken, "my, what skinny legs you have!". They are quite feminine. Maybe that's why he wore his shirt open, to counter those girly legs.

All my friends had 20 Barbies along with the dream House, the sports car, and an endless supply of clothes. I always preferred playing with my baby dolls instead, but eventually I did wind up with 3 Barbies and a Ken doll.<br /><br />Funny how people who aren't attached to dolls always want you to sell them. I have several of my dolls from my childhood, and it's my brother who suggests I could make money selling them. Like you said, the sentimental value of them is worth way more than their monetary value to me. I agree that if they make you happy, you shouldn't party with them. <br /><br />Have a great week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355964629556443461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262856102619977361.post-8904913265783019392012-10-07T12:54:51.094-05:002012-10-07T12:54:51.094-05:00I had a blonde bubble cut Barbie, an older Barbie ...I had a blonde bubble cut Barbie, an older Barbie with a pony tail, a dark haired Midge, the same skipper and Ken as yours and a newer Ken. I also had a red headed doll the same size but not a Barbie. Lots of clothes, many made by myself and a Barbie camper so they could all go on vacation. I gave them all to a friend's little girl when we moved cross country when I was 21.
