Verse:
Today I met someone special,
Not going to lie talking with him was stressful,
He wasn't big or that helpful,
It's just the lessons that he taught me were mental,
Yes I did meet him before,
We explored the world and knocked the same door,
But the difference's is what each one of us asked for,
Different decisions placed us on different floors,
learned a lot from him but I still don't know him,
Tried my highest grade but I still couldn't hit the same hits,
I said dude how can I get it, get a bit, even a split?
And who are you and why you are trying to help me?
I tried to act like you but I couldn't find the key,
said, look I am not the greatest so don't expect me to be like those angels,
Life is like a war so fight through the battles,
And dam you ask many questions that I can't handle,
So shut up, and blow the dam birthday candles.

"Kitty Fun Barbie, Marshmallow and me!" I will never, ever forget the infamous Kitty Fun Barbie commercial of my childhood. Like the Generation Girl, Kelly Club Amusement Park, and Jam 'n Glam Tour Bus commercials, this Kitty Fun ad was never forgotten. Even after a five year hiatus from dolls, Colleen and I could still bust out into song. This set came out around the time we got a white cat in real life. While out at work one day, Dad saw that a mama cat had gotten run over by a car. She had a single kitten with her, that was crying by her dead body. Dad (who was a cat lover) felt terrible for the kitten. When he got home that night, he told the family of the poor kitty, and expressed that he should have taken it home. None of us really thought that Dad would be able to find the kitten the next day while driving around for work. But it just so happened that this kitty hadn't strayed far from his mother's body. I'll never forget coming home from school the next afternoon. Mom handed me the dictionary and asked if I could look up the word cat. I was very confused, as an eight year old, needless to say. When I sat on the couch, I suddenly spotted the all white cat with one green eye, and one blue eye. He was the cutest kitten in the whole world! Colleen and I named him Marshmallow because of his color.
When we found out that Barbie also had a cat named Marshmallow, we were ecstatic. Of course, I don't think Barbie's kitty was a stray. This cat looks like a fancy purebred, like the one on the Fancy Feast food containers she was packaged with. I desperately wanted my own Kitty Fun Barbie. Back then, I didn't get brand new Barbies super often. Mostly that's because I was supposed to save my allowance money up for things, and I was TERRIBLE at doing so. But I did get to play with a Kitty Fun Barbie. I picked one out for my friend Lisa as a birthday gift that year. Lisa was always like me and loved animals (although she admittedly wasn't much of a cat person). She must have thought Barbie's cat was cool though, because we opened it that same day. I recall sitting in her bedroom trying out the litter gimmick. These dolls came with colorful, clumping sand. The idea is that you bottle feed Marshmallow water and he pees in the litter box. Then you can scoop the litter clumps out! Honestly it made a horrifying mess. I think that's why I decided not to get myself a Kitty Fun Barbie. Even as a kid, I was extremely fastidious (to the point where Mom and Dad both thought I was very odd). I still wanted Kitty Fun Barbie...just not for $20!!!
As you can see, my inner child was satisfied with not one, but FOUR Kitty Fun Barbies. I have a duplicated African American doll, not shown here (she was actually my first). I found all three of these dolls in a year's time. The first (not shown as I mentioned) I got on opening day 2012 at the flea market. The last, ironically the other AA doll, I got boxed at a consignment shop in early 2013. Clearly Kitty Fun Barbie was an amazing seller. However, if I didn't get a boxed version, I'd still be chasing after Marshmallow. I did get a few of the spare pieces with my blonde lady. She was my cousin's wife's childhood doll. But she had lost her cat years before. Ironically, some of the spare Kitty Fun accessories I have once belonged to my friend Lisa! She ended up giving me and Colleen what she could find of her childhood doll stuff in 2015/2016. Although Barbie herself was missing, there were fragments of her left behind...it's very awesome having bits of the first Kitty Fun doll I played with. Honestly, as a kid it seemed like Kitty Fun Barbie came with a lot more goodies. Now I can recognize that she mostly came with a plethora of useless colorful sand (which I obviously chucked when I got my boxed doll...still traumatized from the mess we made at Lisa's house). Even though there have been dozens of pet themed Barbies produced over the years, this Kitty Fun doll will always be a classic. The commercial, the years of pining, and of course the cat who forever captures the memory of my own kitty named Marshmallow make this Kitty Fun Barbie impossible to beat.
my incredible GG friend. We have soooo much fun together with makeup and girl talk and we laugh ourselves silly. We can get serious too ... that's how good a friend she is. She took this picture of me right after two of her puppies had attacked me! I look a bit flushed:-)

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: The fantasy of owning a blonde Skipper on an '87 body began during the flea market season of 2001. While with our parents at our regular flea market, we bought a blue table and chairs and a Pretty Surprise Barbie. When the nice lady who sold us the table packed it up for us, she moved another doll that we weren't buying off one of the chairs--a blonde, blue eyed Skipper with this body type. I think that may be what led to me becoming interested in Skipper and I know that it was what made me especially want a blonde one. I pined for a long time about not buying that Skipper doll. In late fall/early winter of 2002 or 2003 (depending on whether it was before or after the new year), we were at a REALLY gross indoor flea market. It was cluttered, dirty, and a bit scary. I had just recently acquired my beloved Robin (Pet Pals) and was more into Skipper than ever. I saw three disgusting dolls in bad, tattered clothing but wanted them because they were "old Skippers." The guy wanted five dollars a piece! One was a blonde 1990 Babysitter with awful hair, one was a Cool Crimp Courtney (the beauty of the bunch), and another was the Hawaiian Fun Skipper, the forth from the left in this photo. She reminded me a lot of that doll I left behind at another flea market a year earlier. So, while I thought the Courtney doll (christened Vanessa) the most exotic, I took more of a shine to this doll. She was incredibly rough at the time--she was on the wrong body (it was too pale for her tan face), she was rather bald, and what remained of her hair was pretty damaged. Still, she was like the blonde "old Skipper" I was pining for, with sweet blue eyes. I was acquiring a lot of dolls around this time but, of all the new Skippers, this doll got to play Robin's best friend. I named her Margie--Margie Valentine. She and Beach Party Cloe were such good friends to Robin and Yasmin that they more or less lived with the family. Our backstory was that they were siblings with a hard home life that slept over with Robin and Yasmin most nights. Margie was nearly as important as Robin and a lot of Robin's soap operas were centered on Margie. I honestly can say I love Margie as much as I love Robin and Daphne (Teen Time Courtney). She's just that much a part of my favorite memories of playing with my sister and of who I was as a teenager.
The doll second from the left is also a close friend. I named her Scooter. I got her sometime in 2003--not really that much later than I acquired Margie (who I may actually have gotten at the beginning of 2003 instead of the end of 2002). However, it still felt like an eternity later. I bought Scooter from sellers we dubbed "The Case People"--I believe she is one of the earliest finds we bought from them. Scooter is actually the doll who I got with the actual swimsuit. Trinket, far left, a later find from around 2004, stole it to wear on display in my room for a while. I've kept Trinket in it ever since because I like the lay of her bangs--they remind me of Margie's before Shelly fully re-rooted her (there wasn't much left of her hair!). When I finally found another swimsuit and hula skirt (separately from each other I may add), I gave them to Scooter because I felt she deserved it! While her new swimsuit is a little more stretched out than the one Trinket stole from her, she got the better hula skirt!
I got many Skippers in bins in 2003 and 2004 and, honestly, I can't remember where I got all of them. I got the doll on the far right, named Alana, around the same time as Trinket, but don't know which bin I found her in. In fact, she may have been a separate purchase, not a bin doll. However, I remember getting Trinket very clearly. She came in the same bin as William and Joy--our Beast and Belle dolls! We went to our Auntie Kim and Uncle Ray's the same day. We didn't have time to wash the dolls first, but we toted them along and played with them anyway. I vividly remember because I put poor William in a large baby doll diaper that actually fit him. I don't have such a strong memory with Alana, but I know I've had her since around the same time. Alana was also the funnest to try identifying--her kanekelon hair threw me off. All my others, including Margie, have saran (Margie's hair looks different because she got rerooted in 2012, but both her original hair and replacement hair were saran). So, while I don't remember getting Alana, I have the most memories of trying to crack the case of her identity back in 2011 when we re-immersed ourselves in dolls! The fifth doll from the left is Megan. I got her at a large outdoor flea market with Dad. I got her with the outfit she's wearing--which is funny because I got Margie in the same exact shirt! Megan reminds me more of Margie than any of my other Hawaiian Fun dolls. It's funny because I didn't pay Megan much attention when I got her, I was more excited about my first Todd and Pizza Party Courtney I bought with her--not to mention the ensemble I bought her for. She's grown so dear to me because of her uncanny resemblance to my beloved Margie. The third doll from the left is my latest acquisition. I got her in February 2020 in the "Tortured Treasures" lot. She luckily still had her swimsuit! I decided, at Shelly's suggestion to name her Margo. I have always liked the name Margo and think it is fitting because, like Megan, Margo reminds me a lot of Margie. Margo's head was floating around the bin when we got her and her neck needed repair. Like Margie, she was a battered beauty in need of rescue. Margie made Hawaiian Fun Skipper iconic to me. Ironically, she gained her station in life because she reminded me of a doll I wished I bought earlier. I later crossed paths with the seller that had the other doll and she still had her! (For the full story, see Wet 'n Wild.) While I am definitely glad to have been lucky enough to find my dream doll, and while she was a much better buy than Margie, and while I don't feel like she was less wonderful than I dreamed, I will always love Margie more! When I think "80s/90s blonde Skipper," I always picture Margie! So, while Sonya (Wet 'n Wild) was the doll I pined for, Margie was the one who stole my heart. I guess it's like that saying, "If you can't have the one you want, love the one you're with." And--I'm glad Margie and I found each other.
