Attack of the Headless Barbies II
Submitted by Lance on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 10:28am.
Mattie, I have often been on the receiving end of those dreaded headless Barbie assaults (although not lately, I must confess). The missing heads may have been soft, but those bodies, made of rock hard vinyl, made great blackjacks. They were especially lethal if the famous pointed Barbie breasts were on the leading edge at impact.

Lance, headless Barbies were my weapon of choice against my little brothers. They were terrified of them! Bwaa haa haa!

The sparsely decorated tree and braided oval rug -- very familiar.
Topless Barbie

I remember, during my childhood, that every kid's toybox contained at least one, sometimes several, nude Barbies, minus their heads. Were the heinous decapitations carried out by us brothers? Personally, I don't recall ever doing such a thing...I suspect it was Ken. Never did trust the guy.
A blast from the past!

My former wife put all our home movies from the late 40s & early 50s on tape and gave one to each of our children. Their mates loved seeing their mates as children.
Nuh-Uh!
