I was kind of obsessed with Barbie dolls when I was younger. Although I had over 50 Barbies, my mom knew we couldn’t leave a toy store without visiting the Barbie aisle. I didn’t get a new doll most of the time, but sometimes she would buy me a new Barbie outfit, which is just like getting a new doll. Anyone that wanted to buy me a gift knew that anything Barbie would delight me. I could play with my Barbies for hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but on some rare occasions, I did play with baby dolls. For most girls dolls are a large part of childhood because dolls allow them to play at adult situations, like being a mother or having a career. Some women continue their doll play even as adults. We’re not longing for our childhoods, but every now and then we feel the pull of nostalgia, so we put together a list of our favorite dolls. Check out the list, as well as some classic commercials, after the jump.
1. BARBIE
2. CABBAGE PATCH KIDS
3. BETSY WETSY
5. JEM
6. MY CHILD
8. BABY ALIVE
9. RAGGEDY ANN
10. PAPER DOLLS

Baby Alive is going to give me nightmares.
Also, I desperately wanted a Cabbage Patch when I was a kid, but we were kind of po’, so my parents got me a generic, fake version for Xmas. My stupid rich cousin got the real one. Sigh.

Ahh, I am having a flashback…I killed my sister’s baby alive. To this day she still holds a grudge for it.

@Amelia - I’ve heard that so many times before from girls. What was the big difference between a real one and a generic?
