Any Barbie experts? I want to find my old barbies..

[karrie91]

Okay.. I'm thinking up starting a side collecting project in the upcoming months. It's going to be tough though. I want to *takes deep breath* recollect all if not most of my childhood barbies MIB. I don't know them all by name though. I was wondering if there's any experts out there that knows of all the barbie releases by series name that I could search through or of any barbie database out there?

The only ones so far I know are ones that I've seen pop up on ebay and noticed right away that they were items I use to own and love.

So far, this is ALL I know..

Palm Beach Midge (one of the last Barbies I got as a child)
Ocean Friends Kira
Ocean Friends Ken
Ocean Friends Barbie
Bath Time Kelly
Sit in Style Teresa OR Barbie (can't remember..)
Secret Messages Teresa

I had a lot more barbies then that though..

If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate at it. Most of my barbies were mid-late 90's. So if there's 90's specific barbie guides out there.. that would be the most helpful. I really think owning the barbies will help me come to terms with some childhood trauma I suffered and help me remember the good. Just seeing pictures of these barbies bring back memories buried so deep.

I literally remember begging my mom to buy me Palm Beach Midge at a grocery store. She was 3.99 and I had to clean my room to get her. Back then, Barbie's were so much cheaper. She was the start of my love for redhead dolls.

I can remember when my mom bought the Ocean Friends Barbie's for me and my sister. I used to take them in the bathtub and absolutely loved them! Kira got more attention then Barbie. She was dating Ken.. lol

I'm rambling about my childhood.. but.. that's how much I loved them. Barbie's were my everything for many years.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks for reading!

I did a huge research on my childhood barbies on google. I didn't know their names either, so I just started searching for words that would match how they looked of the accessories they had and looked at the images that would appear. It does help xD
