This would have been around ‘69-’70.....Barbie had all kinds of “mod” clothes, you know, the miniskirts and the go-go boots. I had a Barbie suitcase with little hangers, and we girls would bring ours to school and have fashion shows, LOL.
When I was a little girl in the late 60’s-early 70’s, I had two Barbie dolls - one was dark-haired - and Ken and Skipper. I also had Barbie’s townhouse, Barbie’s airplane, and Barbie’s fashion show. My friends and I designed and sewed clothes by hand for our Barbie dolls. I also could be a bit of a tomboy, but never once did my friends and I feel inadequate because of our dolls.
