Dear Marika,
You must not berate me for not having them on display. They are safely packed away in the attic because it’s a zillion times more important to me that Tim be comfortable in his apartment than that these be displayed (and trust me, with a couple of hundred of them, there’s NO room inside my bungalow, but their existence is why the TimLair was formerly called “The Doll House”).
Maleficent, Princess Aurora, and Prince Phillip.
Wow… three Barbies. I have those two… I also have Aladdin, Jasmine, Prince Eric, Ariel, abd Beauty and the Beast.
Don’t try to best me, Beckster
I’m really curious now about whether I have a Jasmine and an Aladdin. I’ll be checking everything out when I repack them.
Although … I think that looking at your Maleficent — well she’s a little drag queenie. Did you add eyeshadow? I’m going to look at mine now
My Maleficent isn’t a doll, but a mask. I’ve got a 1960s cross-dressed Ken under the costume, but I didn’t touch her eyeshadow.
Marika! I have around 200 dolls, admittedly only a few of them Disney. I have Belle and Beast, Cinderella and Prince Charming. I don’t think I have any other Disneys, though, unless I’ve forgotten them. These were the only ones I wanted.
I stopped buying Barbies a decade ago when I lost my income. Although a few generous people are willing to buy them for me, I asked them not to, since I don’t display them anymore.
They’ll be downstairs for awhile, because I want to buy new storage containers for them, so if anyone wants to see more photos, this would be the time to ask.
Don’t bombard me all at once. 😉
this would be the time to ask
Mod! TNT!
(fuck, how do you post anonymously?)
You best not mock the Barbies, mister. 😉
No, not dynamite. Mod era, Twist-N-Turn, ya nitwit. : )
Man, I’m dense…
So your telling me basically that your Malificent IS a drag queen. Ah hah! So your a barbie girl? Do you have any living dead dolls? I collect those … well, not any more because I’m poor .. but I did. I love them? Do you have living dead dolls?
She just got through saying she quit buying dolls a decade ago. How dare you skim Becky Cochrane….
No Living Dead dolls. Barbies and a few Barbie-alikes. Other than that, I only have my Betsy Wetsy that I got when I was five-ish and a baby doll my mother gave me when I was around thirty because it looked almost identical to one that was stolen from me when I was little.
I have my Velvet! Remember her? I also have my Malibu Skipper, and my Disney Dolls — but mostly Living Dead Dolls … Do you want a Living Dead Doll?
I fear the Living Dead doll would terrorize my Barbies, and they already have to live with Discounted Tori Spelling looming over them. Have mercy!
Oh, I have a couple of 90210 Brandons and Dylans (I think they are members of my Gay Ken group), as well as a couple of Elvises. My Elvises are hooked up with some saucy Barbies. However, I see that the vinyl flight jacket of my Air Force Teresa has deteriorated, so Elvis’s chicks may be naked now. I hope they’re at least wearing plain white panties, the way he liked.
I do not know Velvet. I have a couple of Skippers and a couple of Francies. Do you know Francie?
Believe it or not, some of this is part of a discussion in the next Coventry book, so this conversation isn’t as random as you may think.
I once bought Jordan New Kid Barbie and took off his clothes cut off his rat-tail and the covered his crotch area with hersey’s chocolate and used him as a cake topper for one of my friends birthday cake … he was into hispanic guys.
I had the Joe New Kid… and the posters, and the pillow cases, and the puzzle, and all of the albums, and one of their concerts on VHS… Oh, shut up, I was young and stupid then.
Hello, I have a Winger videotape which sends my nephews into paroxysms of laughter, so I can’t judge you.
“so I can’t judge you”
Even if I told you that my BFF and I got into a fight, resulting in neither of us speaking to one another for over a week, over which one of us was going to grow up and marry Joe?
Funny thing? That friend and I recently got back in touch with one another, since she moved back to Houston from Tennessee; and it turns out we’re both lesbians with absolutely no interest in marrying Joe from the NKOTB.
I think we should do a study. It’s possible that Joe from NKOTB turns women gay. If, in fact, he is the cause, I think he should be celebrated everywhere by all the wonderful lesbians he created. Plus he deserves to know he’s got toaster ovens for life.
I think you’re on to something…
“You’ve got the right stuff, baby,” is definitely all I need to hear from a guy to be turned off to him. I mean, seriously, what girl of consenting age is actually attracted to this kind of choreography?

And all this time I thought I was gay because of Punky Brewster…
I think your safe as long as you didn’t smear hersheys on his crotch
Umm…
No, nor chocolate pudding either.
Busted…
Francie… I like her. : )
I used to have the Sunshine Family dolls.
I did not know of these dolls, but I have just researched them. They’d have been perfect for me, the little hippies…
Gary, you remember a family that lived in this house that was sort-of like a tree? You like could lift the dome up and their house was under there… that’s going back a ways. Was that them? One of my neighbors’ kids had that.
Yeah, that’s them. The dad had brown hair, the mom and baby were blondes?
I can’t remember, now. I only remember that treehouse. : )
Betsy Wetsy freaks me out.
I had a bunch of Barbies, but my older sister collects them, so I gave them all to her. Plus, I really wasn’t into Barbie as much as some girls. Although, I was not afraid of them, at all, like the other dolls. Odd that.
oohhh, those living dead dolls are cool! let’s see some pics of those!
post more doll pictures!
Definitely will, no matter how many people BEG ME NOT TO, because you asked. =)
yay! 🙂
Are Aurora’s eyes closed/asleep, or am I seeing things?
Aurora’s eyes are painted such that if she’s “asleep,” the color will fade to look like eyelids. In theory. In reality, her eyes are just kind of washed out now. But by golly, her lips are STILL PINK.
My Aurora looks totally drugged as well
Hey, is your Aurora’s dress reversible, so it can be blue, too?
YES!!!
Okay, this thread was the cutest thread evah!
Are you working on Coventry right this very moment? I am pretending that I am working on PK.
No, I was asleep when you sent that. But perhaps I was dreaming about Coventry, so that counts. (Actually, just before I woke up this morning, I dreamed that Mark G. Harris was a co-writer of WHEN YOU DON’T SEE ME, and two doctors he worked for took him to task about some parts of it. I was telling him how to defend us, then I saw one of the doctors who was HOT HOT HOT, holy shit. In our dreams, Mark G. Harris.)
Mark G Harris works for Doctors?
In my dreams.
Whoa. Wonder what you looked like, when you awoke from that.
If only I could post pictures in comments. I’d be torn, though, which to post: Scarlett, the “morning after” Rhett has his way with her… or Scarlett, with that look of utter disgust, while off-camera that soldier is getting his leg sawed off.
I actually looked more like that soldier who was getting his leg sawed off. If I could wake up looking like Scarlett O’Hara on her worst day, I’d rule the world.
I know. I wake up looking like Stephen King’s It.
Oh hell. I just posted the 50th comment, and squished the look of this entry. Sorry. : )
You’ve given me the courage to admit that I do, in fact, own the Star Trek Ken and Barbie. I also own Captain Janeway, Captain Picard, and many more embarrassing possession.
I bought the X-Files Ken and Barbie for a friend of mine once, and I think they were the only ones I’ve seen where Ken and Barbie are not actually smiling.
Jeffrey R.
I have Scully and Mulder! But no Star Treks, I don’t think.
P.S. Since this is the month of National Coming Out Day, let me commend you for your public admission about your dolls, Jeffrey. 😉
