Growing up in the badlands of Kildare, Beatrice and Rosemary were big – BIG – Barbie fans. But how do they feel about the blonde bombshell now? Would they give Barbies to their kids (would that Holy God would bless them with a child who had an iota of interest in a Barbie)? And what, exactly, does Barbie have that Sindy doesn’t?
Things we mention include…
- The Barbie wallpaper that started this whole walk down memory lane
- Beatrice’s Instagram obsession, Sindy the Traveler
- Orthotics for flat feet 🙁
- Who invented Barbie?
- Stephanie Yeboah’s fab CARBIE jumper dress
- James Corden got a bad time from Reddit
- THE Barbie Dreamhouse (the fate of which is, as yet, unknown)
- Philip Larkin’s This be the Verse
We would love to know your feelings about Barbie – then, and now! And please, reassure us that Rosemary wasn’t the only psycho to go at her Barbies with a scissors…
