And I am so a whiner- good call. I learned it from the best teachers, my children. New Goth Barbie is much better.

I was Miss New Romantic, with short short short hair that I kid you not, looked quite a bit like the lead singer from Flock of Seagulls. Listen, the 80’s were my heyday.

My flashback Barbie is the one with the light-up rollerblades. I had a couple of snap bracelets, and multi-colored plastic bracelets, too, but it was the very early 90s.

I wanted one, but they were declared lethal weapons before I got around to buying one, alas. I STILL have my crimper! And yes, New Goth Barbie is much more depressed-looking. Although suspiciously excited...maybe she scored a date with Trent Reznor? Ah, yes, the snap bracelet. I wanted one, but they were declared lethal weapons before I got around to buying one, alas.

We wore shapeless black sweaters, crinkle skirts and combat boots. And my walkman usually had Echo and the Bunnymen, or Siouxsie and the Banshees. The Smiths, Ramones..... And I had a huge crush on Danny Elfman, so Oingo Boingo was always in my playlist. And of course the Cure. And this ends confessions of a grown up 'goth' girl (which we did not call ourselves then.) And raincoaster? The Dream house line made me snort tea up my nose. Also- how many plastic bracelets did you own? And did you ever, at any point, own a snap bracelet. I had something like 15. Who had a crimper and used it? Ahhhh, the 80's... Not only is she smiling, but her dress is too pretty. We wore shapeless black sweaters, crinkle skirts and combat boots.

That's not a real Goth; she's SMILING!!!! (is it bad that I still have the whole Madonna Barbie outfit, plus rubber bangles?) “They tried to make me go to the Dream House, but I said no, no, no.”
