I found this out watching some 80s thing where "Barbie" was short for Barbara and that surprised me but then I was like "it all makes sense!" Like Barbie seems more like a nickname anyway, to me.

I remember being obsessed with Barbie movies and the Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse show that's on Netflix.

I was also obsessed with Barbie, I literally watched everything and had so many Barbie CDs and toys. Also I am seeing barbie shorts, bags, glasses... everywhere in shopping malls so maybe they will drop new movie

Quote from Elbereth

yes i think it was based on the creator's daughter or something like that?

Omg same. I still love barbie movies and do marathon of my favorites from time to time. I still love to sing along to classic barbie songs

i remember i would set an alarm at 7 am just so i could watch Barbie Life in The Dreamhouse when it was airing on tv

Oh I didn't know that either

I was also waking up early to watch barbie
