Doll Rivalry?

[Food Lady]

Merriweather, at your granddaughter! And I always thought playing Barbies was boring.

You should see what my sisters and I used to do with our Barbie dolls! We didn't go in for the "let's play house" kinda games, ours were more along the lines of "Barbie (or whatever, we always gave them other names) gets kidnapped by hostile cannibal giants."

I was more medieval as a child. . if any of mine misbehaved, they were beheaded using the lid of my toy chest.

Henry VIII would have been so proud . . . *sniff*

My daughter used to make a really weird and creepy Barbie-garland. She cut off most of their hair first, then strung them up by the ankles and decorate her pink, Disney-ish very girly room. No she's not a pyscho, she got into collecting Beanie Babies when she was a bit older and treated them much better.

All my younger sister ever wanted to do with her Barbie and Ken dolls were make them have sex. She'd strip them down, put them in missionary position in the doll bed and leave them like that in the family room for days. Finally my mom would get fed up and tell her to clean up the dolls and my sis would always reply that she couldn't because "they aren't done yet!" Somehow I think yearsw later she must have been rather disappointed in the stamina of non-plastic men and that it must have been quite the moment of disillusionment!

ok, i get what you're saying...it's weird for doll collectors to believe that their dolls have opinions and what not. i get that, as a completely sane person....


HOWEVER, i'm a very AVID doll collector. I have 2 Pullip dolls and if you aren't familiar with them, they are ball jointed import dolls from japan. gotta pay 100 dollars or more for them.

now then, as a person who collects them, i can say that yes, my dolls have personalities. It's a fashion doll, and so you pretty much do what you want with them as you would a barbie. they have special features that allow you to move their eyes and make them blink too. So possing them in more realistic ways is possible. that being said, bc of those features, you can make your doll to be whatever you want..thus giving it a "personality"

while all my dolls can stand eachother and like one another, i'd also never get rid of a doll unless i, myself, decided that doll just wasn't to my taste. I'd never use the excuse "my dolls doesn't get along..."

I've tried that too with my dolls (the ones who didn't misbehave.)

Believe me, years later, that was a disappointment. As in "that's is? Where was I?"

You gals have just met the wrong people. You know the old say "Nice guys (or gals) finish last?" Yes, yes we do.

Even so, I seriously doubt any guy lasts for 6 days straight. And even if he could. Ow! The chaffage!
