Girl Interrupted

At what point do girls learn to be moody and difficult ?" 6th grade was your last good year "- my mom. I can remember deciding that it was time to give up playing with Barbie Doll even though I wasn't ready." Girls going into 7th grade don't play with dolls " -Who told me that ?

    I think I gave up Barbie in 7th grade. I gave them (and most of my horse collection) to my sister, who was six. Somehow I knew "it was time"

    Hi anne-
    When I opened my laptop, and saw that i actually had a comment, i felt inordinately thrilled-LOL ! It's rare- no one seems to be interested. I'm not sure why. Perhaps others aren't as into blogging as i am ??? Anyway, thank-you for responding. You've made my afternoon.
    Now , about Barbie : I stupidly gave my doll, and her entire wardrobe, to my cousin, who promptly ripped her head off, cut her beautiful, blonde ( I always dreamed of being blonde-so-i lived out that fantasy /w all of my doll, but especially Barbie ) ponytail to shreds, and then threw the whole mess into the garbage. Naturally, I blamed myself.
    Flash forward- I'm 45, and it's time to have a ' healing ' ( LOL , but also true ). I start to build an impressive doll collection. The dolls I bought are designed for adults- Beautifully crafted works of art, not play- dolls.
    I stopped buying dolls around the age of 54. It was fun while it lasted ; )
    I am very interested in your art-
    Following your blog would be fun.

    Blessings and Peace,
    Elizabeth

    I loved the photo collage of the pre-adolescent girl- torn between "teenagerhood" and young girl....

    My barbie story is kind of sad...We could never afford a "real" Barbie, but I had one that was a very cheap imitation that someone gave to me. I pitied both myself and my poor Barbie-wannabe!

    I'm sorry Your Mom didn't just let You outgrow them when Y-o-u were ready....((((((hugs)))))
    Glad You validated Yourself and began Your own collection; hope that brought You satisfaction.

    Hugs, Robin
