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. :)

Here's a video from this year's Barbie Convention in Washington, DC. I'd love to have attended since this is a historic anniversary year for Barbie.

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 blog...! I will introduce your blog to my daughter later, she might like it.
Hi Vanessa,
I saw your comment on my blog! I belong to a whole group of collectors on Yahoo groups. It's called weloveblackdolls. The owner of the group is Debbie Behan Garrett, she wrote The Definitive Guide to collecting black dolls and the name of the second book escapes me right now. Anyway, you will find many fellow Barbie lovers as well as those who collect other dolls!
