I heard that the process involved hours/days of pain and grunting but this must be another one of those silly myths that we women are sold. Yes a party is definitely in order for Coaties arrival- maybe we can have a teddy bear's picnic - so everyone can bring along their dolls/bears!!Rebecca-the-Wreckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675132959467696109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26713841.post-1152676819056796252006-07-12T14:00:00.000+10:002006-07-12T14:00:00.000+10:00I never had a 'barbie' Barbie either, but one Chri...I never had a 'barbie' Barbie either, but one Christmas, in my early adolescence, I was given a 'giant' barbie type doll. I was mortified. There was no balance in her composition and she could only stand on her toes. What sort of doll was this and why was santa clause giving it to me? I know my Novas Infinite (12) has much more purpose. I think Rebecca, that if you own a Novas and indeed, have a Coatie soon to enter the house, then unlike pretty in plaid you didn't come in a box but more possibly in brown paper and string. My children did. I think you should have a party when Coatie arrives, I will bring my Novas (12), her name is Alison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26713841.post-1152657453687556102006-07-12T08:37:00.000+10:002006-07-12T08:37:00.000+10:00lianaI think that having your hair turn pink and c...liana<BR/>I think that having your hair turn pink and clothes turn black at age 16 is much groovier than lookin like barbie.Rebecca-the-Wreckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675132959467696109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26713841.post-1152654146527007502006-07-12T07:42:00.000+10:002006-07-12T07:42:00.000+10:00I had about twenty Barbie dolls.

I was particularly fond of the one that self tanned.<BR/><BR/>Let me tell you that having Barbies does not leave you without trauma of the female kind. I clearly remember playing with my cousin's Barbie who was wearing a sweet sixteen t-shirt. I believed that when I turned sixteen I would look like her.

Or maybe I am kidding myself. <BR/>I think Novi is feeling better now- it was just such an awful shock when the giant human baby mouth attacked!Rebecca-the-Wreckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675132959467696109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26713841.post-1152597833281622232006-07-11T16:03:00.000+10:002006-07-11T16:03:00.000+10:00I never had a Barbie either, and like you, my sist...I never had a Barbie either, and like you, my sister had several, I never had any inclination towords them, I just could not relate to the whole ordinary human being type doll, how boring. Give me Gover; with his big pink nose, blue fur and big red line for a mouth.<BR/><BR/>That said, I spent most of my spare time from school in my pjs, so dress sense also had to be aquired. Which I did at uni crawling through the op shops before it became cool and expensive.<BR/><BR/>I hope Novi will be alright, I could bring around some of his fellow Novas Infinite for some group therapy sessions if needed.Florence Forresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539672176570172886noreply@blogger.com
