I never lived in a Home where there was a Barbie! In fact, I don't believe I have ever actually touched a Barbie Doll. My sister was about 16 when Barbie was born, too old for Dolls. And my brothers' preferred little metal soldiers over plastic Dolls.

Let me say this about that. The soldiers were plastic not metal and they all lived in Quaker Oats, or their cheaper A&P generic brand, round containers or barracks.
Barbie? Yeah I know her. Met her a few years after I got married. As a matter of fact I knew about 38 +/- of 'em.
Some were fashioned in the "Mali" look. Whatever the mood was that day that's how Molly, or a Mali, fashioned them.
Others were coiffed with chopped hair, magic marker tattoo type markings or permanent 3 year old applied "makeup".
Some were mutilated by an Airedale. Some were knock offs and delegated to the little sister at play time. Some were hot and sexy. Some were Ann Taylorish. Easy to know which were Molly's which were Seana's. Kate's were the knock offs or Airedale deformed, handicap parking Barbies. Meg's were the tear stained, naked, unclothed, disfigured, saw her around here somewhere type.
Did you know that the Kotex Company made special "Barbie beds"? Yep. I found out one day when I came home from work and our small front lawn was a Barbie camping ground. Littered with a box of Barbie beds that the folks entering the hospital across the street found very entertaining. Good beds actually, they had blankets attached to the sides already.
Barbie did have a way of disappearing at times. You could usually find her in the trash can, under the couch, in your bed, tool box, underwear drawer, veggie compartment of the frig, just about anywhere a doll would want to vacation.
Do I know Barbie? Yep, sure do.
I love my Dad! I think that Ken, Barbie's perfect male equivalent, should be re-named to Tim!
