 The Barbie Look - 1960s advert

I'm not normally a Barbie fan, but this Sixties commercial caught my attention. Blink and you'll miss it...

Whatever happened to Midge, Skipper, and Alan?

They all 3 died in a horrific plane crash..

They were taped to one of my model airplanes, doused with model glue, set ablaze then flung off the roof.

You think I'm making this up, dont you...

My sister still hasn't forgiven me... emoticon

Yup I can totally see you doing that Len! I NEVER liked Barbie,but I did have a Julia doll the deluxe one that talked. Diane Carroll translated well as a doll.

My sister had a huge Barbie collection.
I think she gave them away to some neighbourhood kid..
I did burn some of them though.

War is Hell...

Re: The Barbie Look - 1960s advert

i've never understood the tyranny of pink associated with girls' toys. walk into a toy shop and there's rows and rows of PiNK.

it's not the same for boys' toys
they're not all blue

*scratches head and wanders off*
