Welcome!
A blog for those who loved Barbie growing up and whose fascination remains today! Let’s get right to the reason for this blog and more to follow. I will be posting the extraordinary world of Barbie and highlight her growth in everyday life, careers, and fashion. Sure, she has been surrounded by controversy, whether for her physical proportions influencing a false sense of body image, her narrow view of beauty, or how some of Barbie’s professions portray women as unintelligent. While I don’t think Barbie’s looks or fashion choices are trivial issues, I do see Barbie as iconic in fashion, career, and beauty. My Barbie blogs are simply meant to give you a feeling of familiarity and entertainment. Hope you enjoy them.

My Barbie and Ken collection were the most important playtime for me till I was 12. 1962 is when I started my collection. My Grandmother designed most of my Barbie dolls wardrobe which I still have today along with every style of clothing and furniture. My 2 girls have had the honor of enjoying playtime growing up with Barbie and now in hopes one day I will have grandchildren to dazzle in The Barbie world.
I thank you Jeanette Bonfiglio for letting me share one of my most happiness memories . Childhood for me were best friends called my Barbie dolls. I have my Barbie and Ken dolls still in my home – where my heart is. Each playtime with Barbie had a different focus a story untold but still a memory for me.
