I haven't been on this board in a long time, but I just ran across something on pinterest that cracked me up and thought it might bring a needed laugh or smile to others here as well. Copy the link below and paste in your URL

My daughter used to hang her barbies from a long string and dangle them out of her bedroom window so they would hang over the front door. They were always naked. A lot of people were appalled and disgusted by that. I got a lot of lectures about making her quit that. I thought it was funny. I never said a word to her. I did get a little annoyed when they started clogging up the gutters.

Was the string around the neck or the waist? If it was around the neck, she might have issues. Who am I kidding, that would only make it more awesome.

Well, she's not married. She's engaged.

I'll keep you posted if it falls through. However it does concern her mother that the main attraction is that she has a sadistic bent toward barbie. lol

Some kids are born with a macabre sense of humour, which I find amusing.

As for best idea ever? More like barfiest idea ever. So glad I don't see stupid shit like this on my Pinterest pages. I get to see actual interesting (and useful) things like room design, upcycling, photography, art, and cooking.

I thought it was going to be a photo of a barbie covered in tatoos, not garments. They should do that use white paint not forgetting the masonic signs. It is pretty sick though. they can't even tolerate a naked barbie

On the one hand, I am absolutely stunned by the creativity and originality displayed, on the other hand I am sad that these women are condemned to a life of domestic serfdom. Just think what all that creativity could do in business or work, or politics or whatever.

But noooo, the highest purpose of Mormon women is to stay at home and wipe the butts of hubby and children.

So the Mormon men invented Mormon porn (bubbling the naked bits on a women in a bikini so she looks naked) and Mormon women paint garments on their daughters' dolls?

Mormons - making regular people shake their heads since 1830.

Why give them a full body suit? Wouldn't a bikini paint job suffice if the nudity really bothered you? Mormons are the only people who think a belly button is one of your naughty bits.

If they use the right nailpolish it can look like a very sexy latex under suit.

Cool!
At the risk of letting the entire exmo kingdom know what a weirdo I am, I've been stitching up some extremely modest clothing for a group of Bratz dolls I picked up at a flea market. I had read so much online about how Bratz are of the devil and should not be allowed in a decent Christian or LDS home that I just had to get these and bring them home to help them "repent".
There are six of them, all pretty slutty looking, and my dear sweet exmo daughter suggested as a backstory that they are BYU students with a fondness for over-the-top makeup and Big Hair. They have been studying church history and have decided the manifesto against polygamy was a big mistake. Now they are looking for a good man to marry.
I was just looking up garment styles online yesterday, trying to figure out how to draft a pattern to make Bratz-sized garmies. This would be a whole lot easier to do, and they make white nail polish for doing french-tip manicures, right?

Does anyone know if today's fundamentalists wear knee length or the old style ankle length?

This idea *begs* to be turned into a photo-comic book!

Notice how they even have cap sleeves so we're not showing any of those erotic tops of arms.

Such a great training tool. "Honey, Barbie's garments are showing in that outfit...it that appropriate? No...I didn't think so. Let's see if we can dress Barbie like a sweet spirit."

How bizarre! I'm sure the painted on t-shirt will show up under Barbie's wedding gown and swim suit. One can never be too modest, I guess. I can't see a busy mom getting that worked up over a naked Barbie doll.

That's why you paint them white and delightsome.

So this woman must think it would be modest to walk around with only body paint on?

Legally speaking, a topless woman is not really considered topless, in my neck of the woods, if her nipples are covered by pasties, or even band aids. Luckily, we are not a bunch of savages who require this in strip clubs, but if a woman wants to do so on the beach, or walking down the road, the police are powerless to do so.

Generally, because of ignorance of the law, or because most women really don't want to cause a scene, this is rarely taken advantage of. That is, until the body painting guys come to town, at the same time the bikers arrive, then you see women sporting the most beautiful of artwork, everywhere they go. Most of the time, you can't even tell they are topless, until you are right near on top of them. It is a glorious time of the year that my TBM sister hates.

Why don't they just paint burkas on them and be done with it? Seriously, if you are having dirty thoughts about a Barbie, you probably shouldn't be posting it all over Pinterest.

I confess, while I have never had dirty thoughts about barbie, the same can not be said about her brunette friend.

I see, it some sort of silly modesty thing from the Mo's.

I was thinking along the lines of psychedelic colors, polka dots, colors of various sports teams and so forth. Something fun.

I was only a sort-of mo. My grandparents converted from Catholicism when my dad was about twelve. My dad converted back to Catholicism after his mission when he met my mom. my grandparents babysat my twin brother and me when we were two so that we could be blessed against my parents' wishes. I've never been officially baptised into the LDS church, but I was baptised for the dead in a temple in Utah. How it happened was a long story. I'll share it sometime.

My mom was very ill when i was little. When I was six, my brother and I spent some time in Utah with our relatives while our mom was receiving treatment. Halloween came while we were there. My dad's younger sister was a rebel (she's now a Wiccan). She decided that I should be Trailer Trash Barbie for Halloween, complete with my baby cousin's shorts for Daisy Dukes, a cigarette package rolled up in the sleeve of my baby cousin's t-shirt that I was wearing, trashy-looking toy heels, Jonbenet hair, liberally applied cosmetics, and fake tatoos all over my body pledging my undying love forever to various males. No one noticed at the Trunk or Treat because it was dark, but afterward we went to a party at a neighbor's house. People noticed there. I was major fodder for gossip in their ward. My grandparents never found out until years later, when video footage taken by my dad's younger brother ended up in a video shown at a family reuinion. My grandparents probably still haven't recovered. They blame me even though I was only six and was merely following the orders of their teenaged daughter, who was left in charge of me.

Two of those dolls aren't true Barbies. They are Disney princess dolls. I'm not certain about the one in the middle. She might not be Barbie either, but I can't tell for sure. I thought it was ridiculous when Mattel started putting molded panties on Barbies. So I guess it's okay for Barbie to be topless. :-) I believe Mattel started doing the molded panties because of the complaints about a teacher Barbie that didn't come with panties. The painted dolls already have molded panties, but I guess that wasn't enough.

Another thing I find funny is the parents of today probably grew up playing with Barbie and Barbies back then had no panties or panties that were optional. Why the lack of panties is such a huge deal now has me shaking my head.

There was also a big uproar over a Midge doll that was pregnant. Some parents group got Walmart to pull them off the shelves. I guess they think there is something perverted about a pregnant doll even though they gave her a husband. Go figure.

There is a lot of funny stuff out there about "offensive" Barbies. Mattel even gets complaints about collector dolls that are meant for adults.
