AND I think she has a couple of brothers too. One, Im sure of, Tommy.

Lets see, there was Skipper, Stacie, Kelly. Then Tutti and Todd.. and then
another "baby sister" Krissy. Also, Francie and Jazzie were her cousins.
But, just think, counting Barbie, there were 7 children in that family!!.. It
IS odd that the parents are ever elusive, then again, to make all those
kids.. maybe they were just always "busy" LOL

How did she do all that with her deformed body? <g>
I never even thought to ask where her parents were. Now I will ponder this.

Tommy is one of Kelly's friends - part of the Kelly Club.

We have her. It is Midge, Barbie's best friend. Her husband is Allen and
they have an older son also (the size of Kelly and Tommy.) They really
make sure that you know they are married - wedding pictures on the box
and a tiny silver ring painted on Midge's finger. The tiny accessories
are really cute, but easy to lose. It has amazed me the anti-pregnant
doll reaction from some people. I remember a grocery store cashier
saying she felt they were disgusting with a look of great distaste - not
that we had ours with us at the time. She was just voicing her opinion
because Jayn had another Barbie with her. Jayn loves her Barbies,
princess dolls and Sailor Moon collection.

Yes, we have the pregnant Barbie too. There was a big controversay
when she first came out. Apparently, a lot of parents complained and
WalMart pulled her from shelves. Now Walmart has its own version -
the Midge doll with a baby, but no pregnant tummy. How weird is
that? I get the impression that being pregnant is somehow offensive,
disgusting, etc. but having a baby is fine. ????

Midge is part of the Happy Family line from the fine folks who
bring you Barbie - Midge has a husband, a son, and the new baby
girl (maybe even a dog, LOL). You can still get pregnant Midge
from Target. Apparently folks thought Midge was Barbie - the
kids call all of the line Barbies - and Barbie isn't married.

Tommy and Tutti are twins, Barbies brother and sister. I rechecked several
reliable collectors sources.

I KNOW! Isn't that the dumbest thing you ever heard?!?!?! My husband now
calls it Fundie-Mart, after reading our posts about Fundies. LOL!

I guess the complaining parents all spent their time in a horsepiddle,
doping up and narry catching a glance of their infants until it was time to
pack the formula bag and head home to their mechanical parents waiting in
the living room.

Oh this one chaps my hide!

Jennifer, who HAS had several horsepiddle births and two glorious home
births and wishes to offend no one...just my experiences and aggravations.

Good grief! It's not like Midge actually gave birth! The poor woman has a
magnetized half-egg belly with a replacement Britney Spears gut waiting in
the wings!!

Ok, I'm shutting up now....

Well...
Maybe it's okay if she BUYS a baby with the money she makes being a
veterinarian and a teacher!

With no apparatus to become pregnant, she has no business being pregnant.
OBVIOUSLY it could be neither Ken's nor G.I. Joe's. They have no apparati
either.

Would it be just some kind of spontaneous pregnancy? Some freak spark of
life entering a molecule of plastic? I would think that to suggest
otherwise would be equating Barbie with the mother of Christ and no WONDER
they took them off the shelf.

Yes, we are not supposed to flaunt being happily pregnant nor nurse
in public. We are supposed to hide in shame in the disguting dirty
public bathrooms or ridiculously small dressing rooms. I remember
when me and hubby visited Scotland a few years back their malls had
acutal baby stations. An entire, large room devoted to mom. Huge
isles of diaper changing areas with bottle warmers and lovely large
sofas for nursing. Of course, clean as can be. What a difference to
Florida, where apparently nursing moms do not exist. Let me also
mention for those of us who had trouble enough, it did not ease our
transition into public life. It definitley hampered my experience!
Just my little soap box <g>

Well, Barbie is simply having too much fun!
I was at Walmart in NH last week and somebody must have returned one cuz
there she was Pregnant as can be all alone on the clearance self. I almost
bought her cuz I knew she wouldn't be loved there. lol

Does anyone remember, from the 70's, when Mattel came out with the "Growing
Up Skipper"? At least I think that was the name. She was somewhat flat
chested, and when you cranked her arm around in a circle, she stretched
taller and her boobs got bigger! There was a terrible controversy about
that, and I believe they were pulled from the shelves too. I'd sure like to
have one now...bet they're worth a pretty penny!

But at least, thanks to this list, we now know that this would be Virgin

Hmm, I think it would be neither.. More likely an "unwed mother" I know that
the Barbie and Ken that lived at our house when my sisters and I were growing
up frequently "got it on".. LOL.. . Well, actually, they got married
several times too. YEAH, didnt they also sell Bride Barbie and Groom Ken????
Maybe they should sell the pregnant Barbie as " Family Barbie", along with
her husband Ken.
