oh, I am serious in my reply - I could say a LOT more about Barbies, but it would probably not be considered appropriate to do so here... and I am all about politeness and decorum.....

Yup. All of ours (about 15) are naked. In fact, I don't ever remember them dressed. They cook in the Barbie kitchen, drive the VW bug, naked. All the time.

We have one Ken. His arms have been pulled off at the elbows and one leg keeps falling off. We have used Scotch tape as a form of surgery to repair the arms. But, I am afraid there is no hope for him and the naked Barbies shall rule the universe, in the end.

I wouldn't worry about it. (But do go look and see what shape the Ken is in....)

No, anne...this thread is actually about Barbie's...
By the way...I want to clarify that these are not my Barbie's, but rather my kids...
they have about 60 when put together...
i mean how many Barbie's is too much???

I have a party every year and one of the decorations is a pornographic Barbie Diorama covering the mantle - complete with bondage scenes and the occasional Barbie horse....

My neices used to always have the Kens naked and across the room behind a chair.... who knows why?

My daughter barely played with hers. But she loves this song and so do I. Especially because Barbie is skating and petting a horse in it.

Anyway if you really want to know, sit down and play with them for a couple hours....truth is stranger than fiction and I'd love to know why...

I've never seen a clothed Barbie doll at any child's home.

I think the clothes and the thematically different Barbies are just there for the parents. Once they're home all Barbies are the same. Naked as fuck.

Barbies & Kens need baths too.

"My neices used to always have the Kens naked and across the room behind a chair"

I dont know why, but thats funny.

All of my daughters have redressed their Barbies a million times. They cut their hair, washed the clothes, took them in the bath tub and every thing else you can do with a doll. Sometimes they dress ken up in drag. LMAO. They have had a lot of fun with them over the past 30 years. I still have a bunch of them but the value is totally gone. They were played with well..

This woman dismembers Barbie parts and sets them in gold and silver to make jewelry. Mattel is not amused.

Caution: it's a little creepy in a serial killer sort of way.

hahaha

a couple of those are interesting :D

nice link

My daughter never played with her barbies. She would behead them so, I stopped buying them for her. She turne out awesome.

My sister and I had like 40 barbies. They were often naked. Sometimes it's hard to dress them. If my barbies were in the sink, then either they needed to be washed or they had a pool party. Fun!!!

Isn't it because the barbie/ken clothes are really easy to lose and kids are experts at losing things?

I used to love the paperdolls!
