I think I died a little inside the first time I saw a disembodied Barbie head with the hair cut off...smeared with lipstick and dirt...

Maybe it does have to do with where I lived, but I never did it. I would have gotten whupped. However, I knew a lot of kids that did and always thought it was weird.

It IS kinda disturbing what bubbles up in little kids minds, innit? There was a study done in England that showed that this is what girls tend to do when they feel that they have outgrown their Barbies. I guess it's a form of "not so fond" farewell.
I used to beat the crap out of my Ken doll when I was a kid. But then, I've got "Daddy issues."
Here is a link to an article about that study.

Whupped? Whupped?
And you say I have been talking like a hick?
Worst thing you and your sister ever did to your Barbies was to make a non-Mattel "fashion doll" into the Maid for the rest of the Barbie residents. I thought it was pretty cute.

I worry about my daughter and her Barbie collection. I think she has been watching the news too much. I walked into her bedroom and saw her interrogating one of her Barbies. She was waterboarding it to extract information about Ken. She has been putting them in various places around the house so she can torture them with impunity. Impunity can be quite painful if used in the hands of an expert. I never mutilated Barbie as a kid, but I picked on Ken quite a bit. I think I was just jealous. She was such a doll.

I think that the more creative kids did it. Why have a bunch of dolls that all look alike? I would always cut their hair, make their clothes, etc. I would also give them those little cocktail swords to fight with. I finally realized I was too old for Barbies, though, when I was making Barbie and Ken have sex. That's always a sign that you're too old to play with Barbies anymore.

Because it's socially unacceptable to mutilate a Super Model.
Seriously, I took care of my other toys but I bit the feet off my Barbie! I never thought they looked like a real girl so I never felt like I was being a doll sociopath. I took care of all my other human like toys as well as animal like toys. Barbie never had a 'personality' so I never got attached to her.

I never mutilated Barbie, but I did bury a GI Joe once in an attempt to send him to the devil. This is what bible belt kids do for fun.

Like you I was taught to take care of my toys. The girls that lived next door to us when I was a kid was a destructo!! She always wanted to play with my Barbies, because I had so many clothes for them, (my granny sewed tons of stuff for all my dolls.), but I never wanted to let her play with my dolls beccause she always mess them up! She got mad at me one day and after she told me I was adopted, (I wasn't, but my parents did "have"to get married), she stood up and stepped on my favorite Barbie and mashed her boob.
Then she laughed about it! I never let her get near my Barbies again!

My sister had a Jaime Sommers (i.e. Lindsay Wagner) 'Bionic Woman' doll which I played with more than her. It looked like this:

The only 'mods' I added were to shear her hair into a rather chic blonde crop, and interchange both her arms with both her legs. In return, my sister flushed my 'Incredible Hulk' figurine down the toilet.
And, um...er...
...why do parents ever bother having more than one kid, anyway?
