Once upon a time, there was a young girl who loved dolls. Her mother and father took her shopping and told her to pick out a new toy. The girl went all around the store, searching for a toy she wanted. She came to a big display of doll and in the center, she saw the most beautiful glass doll she had ever laid eyes on.

The girl asked her father to buy her the glass doll. Her father picked up the doll and examined it closely. All of a sudden, the doll’s eyes turned red and the father dropped it like a hot potato.

“I don’t like the look of this doll”, said her father. “There’s something not quite right about it”. And he refused to buy it.

Then the girl asked her mother to buy the glass doll for her.

“Your father doesn’t like the look of this doll”, said the mother. “I think you should choose a different one.”

But the girl began stamping her feet and screaming “I want! I want! I want!”

Finally, the girl’s mother relented and bought the glass doll for her.

Later that day, the father was preparing to go away overnight on a business trip. Still uneasy about his daughter’s new toy, he left the girl a note. It read “Daughter, do not go to sleep with the glass doll in your bedroom.”

The girl played all day with the glass doll and then, at bedtime, she placed it on the night table beside her bed and went to sleep.

A few minutes later, she heard a noise in the darkened room and sat upright in bed. In the darkness, she could see a pair of glowing red eyes. She thought it must be a trick of the light and she rubbed her eyes.

When she looked again, the red eyes were closer. Thinking it was just her imagination, the girl rubbed her eyes again.

When she looked again, the red eyes were right beside her face.

She heard the doll whisper in her ear “Lie down on the pillow. I promise I won’t strangle you.”

So the girl laid her head down on the pillow and the doll strangled her to death.

The girl’s mother came into the room and when she saw her daughter lying dead on the bed, she ran to her and hugged her tight.

The mother heard the doll whisper in her ear “Lie down beside your daughter. I promise I won’t strangle you.”

So the mother laid down on the bed beside her daughter’s body and the doll strangled her to death too.

When the girl’s dad came home the next morning, her called out to his wife and daughter, but there was no answer. He climbed the stairs and went into his daughter’s room. There, he was startled by a horrible sight. His wife and daughter were lying dead on the bed and the glass doll was sitting in between them, laughing her head off.

In a rage, the father grabbed the glass doll and smashed against the walls and the floor until it was completely destroyed.

But his wife and daughter remained dead.

The End.

My friend from the workplace, Maria Margarita Jennifer Faicol (Mia for short), brought this cool website to my attention, www.dreamofdoll.com ,after she found out that I am an amateur doll collector. I am absolutely fascinated with dolls, I would definitely expand my doll collection and I would be posting pictures of course here in my blog once I have at least 50 in my possession.

Anyway, so she posted the web address at my facebook account (add me up by the way, you can search me by my e-mail add charmedwishes18@yahoo.com) and when I got into the sight, I was almost overwhelmed by the beauty of the dolls featured.

I wanted to buy a doll and have it shipped to me right then and there, however, when I looked at the price, I almost died! $69.00 was the cheapest pair not including the air freight and delivery charges. Sigh. Oh well, maybe I could save up and one day, I'll have even one doll in my hands.

Here's some pictures of the dolls I especially liked.

Ben writes, "This doll was recently for sale on eBay. The auction stated that the doll was given to a young girl in the hospital before she died. After the death of the girl the doll began to take on a life of it's own. Some of the activity was beginning to scare the family until they finally gave it away. The new owner promptly sold it on eBay."

For me, this is the way a Barbie Doll should look like. Beautiful, fresh, fashionable, forever young and vibrant... (The dolls above look like they are from a sorority, hehehe)

Since I was a kid, I liked playing with dolls, ESPECIALLY Barbie dolls (take note, I am a boy so you can put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5, hehehe). I am currently 27, turning 28 this October, but my fascination with Barbie still hasn't waned. I plan on showering my baby niece, Yannah, with Barbie dolls when she is old enough to play with it. But the dolls you are going to see next are definitely not on the list! Some of the dolls are okay and even educational, but most of them are just ghastly. So here's some of the weirdest Barbie dolls ever conceived...

1. Zombie Barbie


She could definitly be staring in MJ's Thriller movie, the Zombie Barbie is a sexy, creepy and totally modern woman.

2. Pregnant Barbie


3. Princess Unicorn Barbie

It's the doll you never knew you wanted, the "Princess Unicorn Barbie." Little girls everywhere are dreaming and drawing up lists for princesses they want wrapped.

4. Fat Barbie


This fat Barbie was created as an ad for the Active Life Movement that used iconic children's toys to get their tagline out to parents to “Keep obesity away from your child.”

5. Oreo Barbie


In 1997, the "Oreo Barbie" scandalized the African-American community which slammed the name for insinuating that the doll is like the eponymous cookie: "black on the outside, white on the inside".


6. Working Mother Barbie


She didn't just fall off of the turnip truck! Turleen is a sophisticated and patriotic American and a model working mother. After hours of hard work gathering carts at the Honk & Holler and waitressing at the elegant Bowlarama, she still finds time to spend quality time with her kids. With seven children and one on the way, she recently won the Mother of the Year Award from the Pink Flamingo Trailer Park Homeowners Association! This special trophy sits proudly on the kitchen window sill in her luxurious double-wide next to her six first place Little Miss Guzzler Awards from the county fair! Yes, this honey has grown up! She's got a bun in the oven and she's ready to hit the town! Just push her belly button and Trash Talkin' Turleen will share some pearls of wisdom with the sophistication and style that makes her family and third grade teacher proud. Turleen stands approximately 12" tall. ( This is among one of the dolls here which I especially hate. What kind of parents will buy their child something so disgraceful? oh yes, bad parents.)

7. Blood and Diamonds Barbie


Blood and Diamonds Barbie designed and created by Carmen of The Perfect Dark One Of A Kind (OOAK) Dolls. (This doll is so crass, even with the diamonds, I don't know why...)


8. World's Most Expensive Barbie

The world's most expensive Barbie doll, designed by De Beers, is dressed in an evening gown decorated with 160 diamonds and she has complimentary gold jewelry and accessories. “This Barbie was produced to mark the 40th anniversary in 1999 comes and was retailed at $85,000. Whilst if you think it is a too expensive deal to be done, then you can eye 1959 Barbie No. 1 carrying a price tag of $8000,” according to Elite Choice. (Now this is the most beautiful and tastleful Barbie in this list. This is something I would want to own. The doll looks a little like Naomi Campbell.)

9. Barbie's Muslim cousin


Now here's a doll Muslim girls could identify with, Barbie's Muslim cousin: Razanne. I think this is nice, that we could make dolls into every kind of ethnicity and race.


10. Twilight Barbie


The Twilight frenzy continues with the new Edward and Bella Barbie dolls. The Twilight Barbies turn Stephanie Meyer's characters Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) into an updated Barbie and Ken. The Edward doll is true to the Twilight saga with his vampire features, like shimmering skin and signature gold-colored eyes. The dolls are sold separately and are currently available at Toys ‘R Us.

11. Amy Winehouse Barbie

We've seen celebrity dolls used as narcissist promotional tools, but not often do we see memorabilia that accentuates a star's less appealing attributes. This Amy Winehouse Barbie has a lot of similarity with the real UK crooner, complete with black, messy beehive hair style, tattoos and dramatically winged eye liner which has been smudged by her tears.

12. Barbie's wheelchair-bound friend

In May 1997, Mattel introduced Barbie's wheelchair-bound friend Becky. But the initiative came under fire when a teenager with cerebral palsy pointed out that the doll's wheelchair did not fit into the elevator in Barbie's house.


13. Ghetto Fabulous Barbie

Ghetto Barbie, kids with different Kens, sold separately. (Tsk, tsk, words fails me...)

14. Trailer Trash Barbie



it's the famous trailer trash barbie. Every town has one, cities have thousands of them, its classic. - Three kids all eighteen months apart, and with different ethnic backgrounds, carrying a stockload of marlboro cowboy killing cigarettes, nasty kraft mac and cheese, and the whiskey. (I hope I won't get any rants about this, I dont' like this image).


15. Hard Rock Barbie

This Barbie isn't so bad. I mean, girls could be rock stars, right? I just wish they would lay off the tattoes, its so uladylike.


16. Growing Up Skipper!

Kids can automatically make puberty occur with the twist of Skipper's arm as they watch her grow taller and develop... boobs? Another twist and she went back to her prepubescent counterpart.

17. Sport and Shave Ken

All kids had to do was draw Ken a beard with the magic facial hair marker, then dip the "shaver" (why "shaver" and not just "razor"?) in water and make Ken ready to go out and play. This is certainly an...interesting doll.

18. Life Size Chocolate Barbie Cake

This is actually gorgeous. However we must remember that this is a cake, and cakes are usually eaten. So please tell me if I am wrong, but is there something disturbing about eating something so lifelike?

Here's a creepy story my friend told me long ago (about ten years, in fact!) when I was around eleven or twelve years old.
The way she told it, a little girl she knew had been given a small doll by her parents. The doll was a gift from an ancient great aunt who had now passed away. The little girl, lets call her Lucy, was secretly unnerved by the doll which had nasty little black eyes that seemed to follow her around the room and a cross expression on it's face. Nevertheless, Lucy had to accept the doll, as she was well brought up and didn't want to upset her parents by informing them of how uneasy she felt around the doll. Her parents told her the doll was called Arabella. The name seemed to suit her. No offence at all to those people called Arabella (hey, my own name isn't anything to brag about!) but Lucy was even more afraid now the doll had a name. It seemed to make it more human, and if it was even a little human then what might it be capable of??

Even so, Lucy never really believed on a conscious level that the doll could do anything to her. It was just a doll, after all, and only reached up to just above her knee. So, to put her mind at rest she stuffed Arabella into the little cupboard under the stairs, behind a pile of shoes where her parents wouldn't see her. It was not until a few nights later, when Lucy was lying in bed that she heard a noise...a shuffling sound, which went on for about five minutes. Then, a brief dragging noise and finally, a scuttling like light footsteps walking very fast. By now Lucy was pinned to the bed with fear, unable to move with fear. Then, she heard a voice-like a very deep, almost masculine tone- but quiet enough not to wake her parents. Lucy always slept with the door open and the landing light on, as she was a little scared of the dark. Therefore she could hear more through her open door. She heard the voice say "Lucy, I'm on the first step"...And then loud scrabbling again as whatever was speaking apparently turned tail and returned to it's place of hiding.

Lucy was so scared that she didn't sleep a wink that night but laid in fear until the break of dawn, when her mother got her up for school

Lucy tried to explain to her mother what had happened the night before, but was so tired that, when her mother passed it off as "just a dream" she began to believe it might be the case.

Of course it wasn't. Lucy begged her parents that they might get rid of the doll, but they insisted that it had been the great aunts wish that Lucy would have her doll. So Lucy reluctantly went back to bed, repeating to herself in her head that it had only been a dream. She checked the cupboard under the stairs, but Arabella was exactly where Lucy had left her.

That night, Lucy fought sleep but she eventually drifted off even though she had fought sleep. Presently, the deep disembodied voice woke Lucy again. She wondered if she could only hear it in her head.

"Luuuuucccccccyyyyy....I'm on the fifth step.." it said. Then came to scuffling noise and the voice didn't reoccur that night. Lucy was crying by now, and again she didn't sleep that night. At school, Lucy told her friends about the doll, and of course they laughed at her. Lucy could only think that if Arrabella was climbing four steps at a time then there was only one more night to go.

That night Lucy decided to shut her bedroom door. When her mother turned her light out she asked why Lucy was no longer scared of the dark. Lucy replied that she was and could she leave her light on instead of the hall light? But her mother pointed out that her bedroom light was so bright it would keep her awake, and said no.
Therefore Lucy agreed to just sleep without a light. She opened the bedroom curtains instead to light the room a little anyway.

Just as she began to doze, she heard the noise. And then the voice "Luuucyy. I'm on the top step..." Lucy knew her door was closed but was still terribly afraid. Her heart pounding, she knew if she stayed in bed she wouldn't be safe. So she got up to investigate.

And her parents found her body at the bottom of the stairs. They guessed she had tried to go to the lavatory in the night without switching on the light, had slipped on a roller skate found beside her, and broken her neck. Arabella had been found beside her body, and was buried with Lucy. Everyone said what a tragedy it was. But at least Arabella was safely buried, and would never be able to strike again.

Was the roller skate from the cupboard under the stairs? That's where it was kept. It's a sad story, but one that scared me for many, many years!!
