i was noticing on this buddies list window thing a list of "recent buddies" that i never noticed significantly before and wondering what it was i looked up what i could about it and from that i found out it's a temporary list of buddies that i have IMd recently...so i guess what i would like to do now is apologize to anyone i may have IMd recently because i honestly didn't realize i was doing it! (you too vanna white!) ??

anyone understand these phenomena?

Absolutely not, but sounds very interesting... Are you sure you need to apologize???

i hope not!

Hi Wyld!

Congrats on your dollhouse! Is it a Barbie Dream House? Must be comfy and cute. I envy you When I was a kid I said to myself "When I grow up I want to be a Barbie doll wear blue eyeshadow, have long blonde hair(that prediction came true), and play with myself Did I say that? Off to the bad girl chair I go


Peace,
Lorie

Wyld, you sure do move fast! Congrats on your apartment, job, great life

You're not too far off the mark, Lorie. Barbi was based on a doll (intended for adults) modeled after a rather loose woman in a German adult comic strip. See the following:
"In fact, the Lilli doll was based on the character of a prostitute in a comic strip drawn by Reinhard Beuthin for die Bild Zeitung. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955. The dolls were manufactured in Hamburg, where legal, licensed prostitutes are ubiquitous. The doll was marketed to adult men in bars and tobacco shops, not to children."

A woman from the states bought a few of them for her daughter, reworked the look a bit, and the rest is history (er, or "herstory"!).

Dang! I hit the quote thingy instead of the edit! This should go in the "You can tell you're getting old when..." thread! Wanted to add, congrats on yer new digs, Wyld!

Hey there Cap! WOW!! I knew the name Barbie had a German origin. That reminded me of the movie "Rat Race" that had a Barbie Museum not with a world of plastic bendable limbs and two molded chest mumps. The museum resulted as the history of a mean bad Nazi Leader name Klaus Barbie.
As a matter of fact 10 years ago I was shopping at Toys R Us and bought a replica of the first Barbie from 1958. She was designed like Bettie Page the red lipstick and heavy makeup, hair, swimsuit, cats eye sunglasses, red painted fingernails, red painted toenails, opened toed spike heel shoes, and round hooped earrings in a prostitute form.
The model of the doll looks like it is suited for a horny male to bring to bed and play with every night.

Overall, (hitting my head with the palm of my hand) WOW!! I could have had a V-8!!

Thanks for sharing that info, Cap

Peace,
Lorie(HUA Syndrome Barbie)

COngrats on the new apartment. Have a good life in your new digs...
