Can we talk about why Barbie is reading the classifieds tho
SHE’S LOOKING FOR LOVE
and also a career, after all,
we know how Barbie feels about commitment.
New Dream House?
So beaver is a verb now? I’m down with that.
“Secretly”?
That lesbian in the pink vest looks so dapper!
Thank you Riese for this fine compendium.
one of your best!
#21’s facial expression is terrifying, lol. Even the dog is scared.
She has no pupils? “I have your number” instantly transforms from cute to creepy when eyes lose their pupils.
#7 really sums up my dating life.
Or,rather, lack thereof.
I lost it at the beaver one.
So much Barbie angst! Those are by far my favorite Mattel products
I have those 80’s barbie ones and the description for #7 is too true.
Also, I have just realized that my last two comments on here within a week have been barbie related?
The rainbow brite one took me back, glorious 80s nostalgia there, maybe she was my root… Pretty glad it’s not common for kids to send valentines to each other in the uk as I feel my childhood at an all girls school would have largely been a lot of no.7 feelings… I mean it was anyway but you know.
#7 speaks to me on a personal level at the moment.
love love love this
18 is so perfect lol
These are precious!
I love that the puns are all in quotes.
You know, I came to the comment section to remark on how much I’m feeling #7, but it turns out that we all are. So… Good luck with all of our unrequited love, I guess?
#18 how could they have possibly been unaware of the innuendo?
#21 is creepy, but #13 is really cute.
