C'mon, admit it.
We stuck pins in Barbie's breasts to create nipples.

(3,379 posts)My Barbies had plenty of sex.....with various genders. While I didn't do it to my own dolls, I had friends who drew penises on their Ken dolls.

My sister had a Barbie doll in a leotard.
I would put the two of them in the spacecraft and fantasize about what they could be doing.
I was about 12 years old.
Im so embarrassed!

(35,983 posts)in Barbie clothes ..so our Tina dolls only had the outfits they came to in. We couldnt afford any clothes for them. I really forget where I was going with this .just that we were rather poor, and I still feel and donate to all the causes I can. EAT THE RICH.

(23,084 posts)Built troll houses out of all kinds of packing. But there was nothing sexual about them except that the little ones didn't wear clothes.

(1,350 posts)But didnt get clothes so made my own out of old socks.
Worked pretty good and the for furniture used things like thread spools.
Somewhere along the way I got one green dress for her I still have it.
When my girls were young
I showed them the sock trick.
but they were lucky yard sales and second hand stores they got clothes for their Barbies I saved and added to that batch for my grandkids and nieces.

(16,952 posts)So my grandmother and aunt would make our Barbies these beautiful and extravagant outfits and elegant gowns. When we visited a couple of times a year, they would gift us everything they had created; they were exceptional seamstresses. We had the best dressed Barbies in the neighborhood. I wish I still had them. I think my step-mother threw them away. I'm sad that we took it all for granted.
thinkingagain
(1,350 posts)But after I graduated high school and moved. things boxed up to catch up with me but somehow they never did that still saddens me.
but all the things I saved from my kids growing up. Im pretty sure my kids will go. Why the heck did mom save this?

(16,952 posts)With the exception of some books that were also "lost" after my mom died and my father remarried, I had girl stuff, and my two children are boys. I can't imagine them being interested in my things.

The Unmitigated Gall
(4,710 posts)Best friend in junior high had a younger sister had tons of Bs and Ks. What prompted it I dont recall but we went into her room one afternoon, stripped them all down and laid out one HELL of an orgy. We put nipples on the barbies with tempera paint and hog-legs on the Kens with silly putty waving around the action it really was something out of the minds of two thirteen-year-old pervert boys. Craigs sister was crying, his mom was furious but I was totally in love with her, ever since she accidentally fell out of her robe one day (the face of God). She shot me a quick smirky glance as she was turning away from her stern lecture that almost made me pass out. It seemed to say Im marking you youre going to be trouble!.

(11,851 posts)It wasn't until after I started to bloom that my multitude of Barbie's were defiled frequently with plastic dry-humping from my only Ken doll.
Apparently I wasn't the only one trying to figure out what it was like being an adult and being curious about sex during my pre-teen days.
I have no desire to watch the new Barbie movie, but I love the fact that this movie has the Nazi AKA GOP) party in a tizzy.
