Brenda said...

I didn't have one until I was a bit older and she was a blond with bendable legs in a pink one-piece suit.

Isn't odd how we remember these things when I can't remember what I wore yesterday??

That picture is a hoot! I had the same Barbie, with the black and white striped bathing suit. Ken had a red and white striped shirt, if I remember right. And a blond crew cut.

Donna said...

And I bet her boobies are tripping her as she walks, LOL! Yes, I had one back in the 50s, when they all looked like streetwalkers. It was soooo strange why they were made like that!

Ooooh, I'll have to check out the next photo challenge and sign up!

Tabitha said...

Hard to believe that Barbie is 50.
I had loads of them when I was younger ~ Lauren is not keen on them and although she has a few of them, she hardly plays with them!
(she is too busy dancing ha ha !)
Love and hugs Tabitha XXX

LOL I love that pic of Barbie old, I bet you won't see that in a toy store. hahaha.... Oh good I'll check out the next challenge.

Cindra said...

I burst out laughing when I saw this photo. Still, she looks pretty darn good. She still has a great jaw line.
My Barbie was blonde with the black and white stripe suit, but mine had blue feet. I think the dye must have still been wet on the shoes. I used to make up all kinds of stories as to how they came to be blue.

Donna said...

Amanda-Hahaa...makes you feel...older?hughugs

hard to imagine that it was 50 y. ago that Barbie came- I never played with them

Lucy said...

Happy 50th Barbie. You picture makes her look her age a little more than the store bought Barbie. Why doesn't her figure change? At that age she should have some celulite or thicking midsection. Not fair.
Love and hugs XXXXOOOO

dabrah said...

I never had a Barbie, but to make up for it I bought my daughters loads when they were little. I love the picture.

Caroline said...

I always had the Barbie's with no hair. I mean I would TRY and do it properly but then I had to keep taking off a little more here a little more there to get it just so & you'll never guess before I knew it they were bald as badgers b....
Now one other thing after reading A bite of country cupcakes I am intrigued about Reece's peanut butter cups you don't see them here in Australia. Are they a choccy filled with peanut butter or what??? I am a chocolate & peanut butter freak but TOGETHER I don't know about that!!

Dick said...

I didn't have one!!!! hahaha

Anji said...

I had Tressy and my aunt bought her the air hostess uniform!!! My sister had a Sindy doll.

Dom had several Barbies but the one that I remember the most had her foot chewed off. I spent hours trying to get the skiing chalet to stay together.(It's good to know one day she'll have a daughter perhaps. I'll buy her a Barbie to get my revenge)
