Totally Hair Barbie, Chewing On The Shoes, And Other '90s Barbies Memories

I was a Barbie girl for sure.

1. Did you covet Totally Hair Barbie?

Mattel

Totally Hair Barbie holds the record for the world's longest successful toy sale from 1992-1995. She is the most successful Barbie ever sold. I totally get it, because I totally wanted one.

2. Did anyone actually own a Ken doll?

Mattel

Everyone I knew who had Barbies, had lots of them. But I hardly knew anyone who had a Ken. If they did, they probably had one for every 20 Barbie dolls. Ken was definitely living in Barbie's world!

3. Was Aqua's "Barbie Girl" the anthem of your pre-teen life?

Universal

The song that declared we should be the center of our own world. For the younger folks reading this, the song that Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice sampled to make "Barbie World."

4. What Barbie parts did you chew on?

Mattel/BuzzFeed

There was something about the texture of Barbie parts that really hit the spot when having an anxious moment. Personally, I'm partial to the shoes.

5. Did you hold out and save a special edition Barbie?

Mattel

I received this very Barbie for Christmas in 1996. I waited some time thinking I could hold out for the inevitable pay day when she would be worth millions, but alas, temptation was too strong; I needed to know the color of her shoes!

6. Did it hurt your feelings to receive an off-brand Barbie?

Greenbrier

Their legs were hollow and empty like my heart.

7. Did your Barbie sleep on VHS tapes?

A comfy little bed, if I say so myself.

8. Did Barbie coloring books give you unrealistic expectations of how voluminous hair can be?

Golden

Or was that just a me thing? I am always disappointed when I leave the salon with hair that isn't wider than my shoulders.

9. Despite opposition to off-brand Barbie, were you ok with watching Jem?

USA Networks

The world was clearly missing a live-action Barbie moment. Thank you for all you did, Jem. The show was truly outrageous.

10. And did you feel like a badass in the Barbie Jeep?

Power Wheels

5 mph was no comparison to the racing spirit in my heart.
