Ahhh, So dreamy, Malibu Barbie and Ken.
Well, today is Scappy Jessi's Toy Party. Over 50 bloggers will be showcasing their pictures of the toys they played with as a child. I don't have old pics to share with you, just googled images. Stop by Jessi's place and check out the other Toy Party's http://scrappyjessi.blogspot.com/
Thanks Jessi for being a great hostess.
Malibu Barbie and Ken what a dream couple! I have to say they were my fav toys. This couple had it all. The looks, the tan, the dream house, the camper and oh, but of course the jeep. My barbies weren't your typical middle class couple. They were straight out of Beverly Hills. Life was pretty good for Barbie back then she was all the rage. Who didn't have or want a barbie in the 70's?
These little dolls hold special meaning for me. My grandmother gave me several Madame Alexander Dolls in native dress from different countries all over the world. They were beautiful and so detailed. I lost them to a flood in the basement of my house when I was a teen.
Oh, I almost forgot to show you Barbie and Ken's A Frame cottage. We should all have lived like Barbie. She didn't want for anything. I guess that's kinda deceiving to a young child. Oh well, I think I turned out okay. Just don't ask MR. Mya he says I don't know what the word NO means.
Did anyone have a Crissy doll and her sister Velvet? They were about 2 feet tall and had long hair that grew out of the top of their head when you pulled it. Crissy was a redhead and Velvet a blond. Velvet was my fav she had the beautiful long blond hair and yep you guessed it she came in a velvet dress. It was deep purple.
Okay, I just had to end with this because my brother and I had a lot of fun with this contraption. It was kinda like the easy bake oven (oh I had one of those too) but you could buy different molds and goop to make bugs or Creepy People Eaters that were edible, well at least we ate them. We played with this oven a lot but didn't always follow the directions. We use to fry little bugs, mainly Daddy Long Legs in it. Don't tell PETA.
