In celebration of @thebreakfastgenie having a birthday, the request ahs come in for "anything from" the early 2000s. This was an exceptional period of time for Barbies, featuring such delights as the controversial Happy Family pregnant Midge, and the pop culture collection featuring Faye Wray in King Kong.

But more than that - there are some great playsets from around this time featuring both Barbie and her younger sister Kelly.

For example, one I find personally very charming is Mother Goose Barbie.

Which in addition to the two dolls, also had a storybook, a goose and a pig. (Are there pigs in the Mother Goose canon? Or perhaps Mother Goose was telling a story about a pig? I don't actually know.)

Barbie & Kelly Art Teacher also featured additional items - paints and rubbing plates (including, yes, the Barbie logo) so the kids playing with Barbie can learn just as Kelly does.

Kids love re-enacting things from their real life as well, so naturally there's also a Barbie and Kelly grocery shopping doll, featuring Kelly sitting in the baby seat of a shopping cart.

And why not relax after a long day of sibling bonding with Sleepover Girls, a playset featuring Barbie and Kelly tucking in with a bottle of generic cola and a bucket of popcorn. (And featuring sleeping bags for them to tuck in together afterwards!)

In particular I love Kelly's pink dressing gown. I think she's adorable.

All these just from 2002 - there's plenty more from the era in surrounding years.

Happy birthday @thebreakfastgenie

the way that margot robbie’s smile and facial expressions were all very… plastic while in barbie land. like they were real but they didn’t look realistic. they were to perfect.

but then when she says “you’re beautiful” to the woman in the bench and she replies “i know it” and margo just smiles… it feels so real. like there’s more laugh lines, you can see more details of her face so she looks human… like she sees the beauty in aging and being human and starts to become human herself in that moment

It's hard to overstate how much of a phenomenon Spongebob Squarepants was. I have in my mind that it was a latecomer to the golden years of Nickelodeon animation, following highlights like Rugrats, but I can't really argue with the fifteen seasons, three feature films, the Braodway musical, and whatever else Spongebob there is that I don't know about.

And the Barbie.

Barbie Loves Spongebob was a 2002 Barbie featuring the lady herself in a Spongebob shirt and trousers featuring Spongebob jellyfishing.

But sorry, did I say Barbie? I meant Barbies.

Spongebob Squarepants bobble buddy Barbie is a surfing Barbie in a Spongebob-themed swimsuit, with her pal Spongebob and a cardboard cutout of Patrick Star.

Two Barbies was not enough for the sponge though.

Spongebob Squarepants Barbie has a third different Spongebob themed outfit, with a different Spongebob top and plain yellow pants. She also features a Spongebob keychain.

Not to mention the Kelly and Tommy Spongebob and Patrick.

Which are adorable, but really puzzling.

They're more unsettling the more you zoom in.

my favorite thing was when allen started fighting the kens and said stuff like “i’m kens buddy! all his clothes fit me!” and also when he said “allen’s have gone to the human world and no one cared. NSync, all allen’s.”
