What in the world is a grown woman doing collecting Barbie dolls, let alone blogging about it? It mean, really?! What is the world coming to? LOL I've heard those sentiments so many times and guess what? I don't care. I love my Barbies!
The name of this blog came from my brother. He would look at the Barbies in my bedroom and the dolls that came in when I ordered, shake his head and say "Vanessa, Don't just play Barbie, be Barbie!" Thus the title of this blog. If he had any idea that he would contribute to this I'm sure he would have kept that comment to himself.
Anyhoo, I'm just doing this to have fun and relieve a bit of stress. I'm also incorporating my love for fashion and accessories into this blog. Stay tuned and feel free to join in. :)

My friend Rona sent me this video, Do the Barbie. I love it. Some of the moves may seem familiar because JaQuel Knight also choreographed Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video.
Barbie was named for a real young lady from California named Barbara Handler. Barbie, the teen fashion doll that debuted in 1959 was created by Barbara's mom, Ruth Handler, who named the doll after her daughter and the rest is doll history.

This is great I had been looking for the video! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Margaret. I love your blog. Thanks for visiting. Glad to connect you with the video. Come back again soon! :)
i love the video and the Ken in there, that's right,but in the other hand a little bit of sarcasm seems to be the new mattel strategy.
AQUA is in my mind again.
Found your blog while surfing for something else (research projects bring us such interesting things, hm?), & I enjoy it very much!
I see your point about the 'Single Ladies' video (and a paper in & of itself could be written on the correlation between barbie & the main theme of that song), although I think his fosse influences are stronger in Single Ladies, & here he's taking advantage of the awkward angles created by a not really lifelike doll. Very clever!
Thanks again for sharing!
