Barbie Doll's 50th Anniversary

It's hard to believe that the Barbie doll is still around after 50 years. I remember my first Barbie doll. It was the first Barbie doll. OMG! I am getting old!

I wish I looked as good as Barbie at 50. She never ages. Can't say the same for the rest of us.

I am going to offer you a nostalgic look back in time at the different Barbie dolls. There are some new ones. The Barbie doll pictured here is a 50th anniversary edition. Just click the link.

    I still hold many boxes of NRFB Barbies for my daughter. When she has a baby girl some day, she can pass on to her.

    I love the Barbie quiz - even though I only got a 30%. Wonderful barbie dolls. Thanks for pulling this one together it was really fun to see.

    I don't have any Barbie dolls and never did. But I like the witch doll. I wonder if they will offer a crone doll since she is so old?

    I am actually not a Barbie fan. She still looks anorexic.
    You've put together some cool versions here, though. I never knew they made dolls to look like all these stars.

    Well, 6 out of 9 is not that bad for that I never played with barbies until recently. My daughter might have done better. ;)

    Apparently I don't know much about Barbie. By the way, she still looks as young as ever for her age.

About Me

Former Barbie Doll Owner

Oh, how I wish I still had my Barbie doll! She was the original Barbie with blond hair. I do recall thinking that black and white striped bathing suit was pretty ugly, though.
