I was only kidding, Katrina! Though, I must admit my arches are sore from years of heels. I prefer to see Barbie as a toy and not the making or unmaking of my psyche.
That would have been one interesting wedding, as my Barbie weddings were the stuff of Dynasty and Dallas, or undressed, or once Ken was broken in half, sort of handicapped…not that there’s anything wrong with half a Ken.
As an aside, I wanted my wedding to be just like White Christmas…well, you know, the dresses from the last scene in White Christmas…except, white. And that’s exactly what I did.

Kristabelle? Are your feet always in the high heel position, too? Do you wear high heels with jeans? Does your hair hover over your head like a halo? Well, then my apologies. I was present when a young lady told her sister. “I want my wedding to be just like Barbie’s.” She was not kidding. I’m glad you didn’t get warped, some young ladies did. You can stop tipee-toeing now!, my fellow peep, or, as they say, “Stand Down”. *snerk* I will not trash her again. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, it was not my intention, but as I did it, I am sorry.

Hey, hey, no picking on Barbie, now! She and her unnatural proportions are the basis for my positive self image.

DaytimeDeb- niiiiiiiiice. Digress away, I can’t stand what “The Mouse” has come to symbolize, shlack, uniformity, groupthink, ah, no “Mouse” for me, it is right up there with “Barbie”. Ugh.

Reminds me of our late bichon, Max… white ball of floof who could (and did) sleep anywhere, in any position.

@cheshirekittehkat — Most of them do have happy endings, it’s the story leading up to the ending that makes kids quake in their slippers. The Velveteen Rabbit, for instance, is in danger of getting thrown out (some versions actually have him destined for the incinerator!) But when he finally sheds a real tear and is kissed by the fairy, he is real…and he does run into the ‘boy’ later and even though the boy doesn’t know it is his rabbit, the boy does remember his old bunny fondly.

Walt Dismal movies are the classic example of terror for kiddies: I can’t remember how many times I ran down the hall screaming “I can’t watch let me know when it’s over!” when some goose is about to get beheaded or you think some dog broke it’s leg and is going to get eaten by a bear, only to be thrilled with happy moments later when it turns out OK. Honestly, I think the writers for Disney were bi-polar. The emotional ups and downs in those stories… oy.

But I digress…

Go for it, Pyrit!

As for the puppeh, very cute!!! I have one similar, only in Wheaten color. She sleeps with her head one way and body the other – no bones! I think she must have been in the womb that way.

It’s rlly OK to read all those sad children’s books, rlly!!! Because I have taken it upon myself to re-write all their last chapters…… (Anybody that is acquainted with me knows that: I ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE A HAPPEE ENDING…… o_O )
