I bought Ramona her first Barbie on Friday. But it is a NASA Barbie and I bought it at a Thrift Store and her hair is brown and her feet are flat. Of course she also has a tiny waist and giant boobs without nipples. Go figure.
We've had many Barbie moments in the last two days. Some of them are common Barbie experiences and some are unique:
1. Her head popped off within 10 minutes of buying her. Why does that always happen?
2. Her arms and legs can bend into all sorts of unatural positions, which Sumner has to undo for Ramona.
3. Ramona called her "Girl-Dollie" and then "Airplane Girl" because she was from a Rocket Ship. Then Sumner renamed her "Rocket Girl", but as Ramona fell asleep (with the new Barbie sitting next to her--you can't cuddle a Barbie) she started calling her "Out Space Dollie" or, my favorite, "Out Space Ba-bie"
4. We've done her hair, which is too much for her head, several times. Ramona brushed it for quite awhile at the sushi bar while we waited for dinner to be served.
5. Sumner exclaimed after a part of an hour of owning her, "We could take her clothes off!" And we did. The next day. And her clothes are now missing so we have a naked freak of nature laying on the living room floor.
Barbie, Barbie, Barbie. What is it we see in you?
