oh dolly

i stumbled across this stack of barbies over the weekend.
It looks like porn to me. All that flesh.
Barbie consciousness ends at about 8 even though we girls still like to play until 11 (we keep this on the hush hush)
When I was little I would play for hours and hours days and days by myself talking and creating stories with my barbies. I'd wake up early stay up late to play and play. My cousin michelle and I would play for like 14hour time periods. Playing with other girls creates a matrix of barbie situations..sometimes our barbies would fight and then so would we...we would get so mad that we would say that we didn't want to play anymore.
But then there came the time when I would go to play, and I just couldn't. Just as how my mom would never play barbies with me. Adults can't do it. They can't get into that world anymore. It feels to uncompfortable and it just doesn't make any sense.
I actually went through barbie withdrawls. I was so sad to leave that world.
The young imagination goes through hell during domestication.


On the other hand, I hated these kinds of dolls. I never played with them. I had friends who had some and I always thought they were freaky.
