I'm glad it wasn't just me
I was treated like a bit of a freak for not liking Barbie. Sometimes I used to steal my brothers Action Man, camo up Sindy and go on a mission!! :D

ahah see thing is,
I think I only wanted one because mum wouldn't let me have one and because everybody else already did.

I instead had a very tiny pink bear that went with my everywhere (it's the size of my palm. He's my good luck charm. There's a little patch on his tummy and nose where I used to rub my thumb when I was nervous that has no fur on it at all. I still have the little bear - he's been to new zealand and around aus and he's going to the UK next year too. He's well travelled. :P

Just for a second
and only a second, I read that as "he's been to new zealand and around anus"

He really would be well travelled then!

Honestly, Flim...
there was one Barbie. She had a retractable pole sticking out of the top of her head! Yes. Read that sentence again.
I was traumatised. Why??? She had on a white leatherette jumpsuit and a pole in her head, This was apparently supposed to make bouffants easier. I'm sure I didn't imagine this.
Trailer Trash Barbie?

Do you remember Jem? She was truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous!
