Sometimes I go looking for Christmas gift ideas for you, sometimes the ideas find me. This post happens to be an example of the latter.
Christmas gift idea#5: 80's Barbies
My 7 year-old has Barbies on her Christmas list. Barbies are a great gift idea for girls and 36 year-old women who have 7 year-olds.
While browsing the Amazon.com for Barbies I came across this doll.
This is Peaches and Cream Barbie. She debuted in 1984 and she was one of my favorites. I was a Barbie nut. I was 10.
When I saw this doll online tonight — FOR SALE — I was 10 again. I remember opening her box. She smelled of peaches. Her dress was chiffon and she had a stole!
This was glamor straight out of Dynasty.
Speaking of Dynasty.
Shut. Up. Remember last week when I posted about Joan Collins and wrote out loud that when I was a kid I made my Barbies reenact scenes from Dynasty?
Hello, Mattel?
I continued to browse the Barbies 'til I hit gold. GOLD RECORDS!
Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Cher, and Flashdance Barbies.
I'll give you a moment.
Okay. I'm back. I put on my legwarmers and cut the neck off my sweatshirt. Now I'm all better.
Thanks for your concern.
