Barbie is 50!

Do you know that Barbie turned 50 recently? March 9 to be exact.This piece of news would never have caught my attention until I read Toronto Star's feature of girls owning Barbies. How they enjoyed their Barbies --- differently.Good thing I never owned a Barbie. For one, we could not afford it. Secondly, I don't remember ever wishing for one.

Did you (or still) own a Barbie? Did you ever (or still) wish for a Barbie?

Read the Toronto Star feature by clicking here and be surprised.

    I LOVED Barbies! I had a few dolls (even paper dolls)! When I joined Little Ms. NSC, I told the interviewer during the last Q&A portion that if I win, I'd use the money to buy more BARBIES! No wonder I lost :-S

    Surprisingly, Kyla doesn't like them. We've re-gifted all Barbie(s) and dolls she'd received as presents.

    *I've always wanted a Ken, too but I never got one. Oh wellz, they got divorced anyway. LoL.

    Never had a Barbie. As a child, I don't think I was aware that it existed. But my daughter had several. Growing up in America, it's a given that little girls play with Barbie dolls. Growing up in the Phil, we played with cheap dolls.

    that barbie doll on the pic is uber cute! I did have a couple of barbies but I get bored with them easily. Wow, never realized that Barbie has been playing with kids for that long.

    Ting,
    Barbie and Ken divorced? Gosh - naulahi ko sa chismis!
    Au,
    I know those cheap dolls - baligya in front sa simbahan. I can still vividly remember how they look.
    Kreez,
    lucky you! You really are younger than us.
    Dang,
    ha-ha shatong! Your daughters had Barbie and they mutilated them - I know!

    At 50 she must have wrinkles and the flab.

    I remebered Gem was over a year old and was given a plastic red doll by her yaya at Christmas. It was the one that makes a sound when you press any part of the body and she loved it more than anything else and never looked at any other gift.
