Jody at the Toy Store

My aunt just emailed me to comment on the earlier blog entry about the Barbie Doll. Yes, an adult can own a Barbie. She is correct. I do use Junior as an excuse to buy a LOT of items at the toy store that I want. Like the Grinch Colorforms set long ago mentioned in the main Dump. I just think the Barbie would be obvious. I do look at those fancy designer Barbies sometimes and think “If Richard Simmons can collect them, so can I” but I really don’t have the time, energy or money to start buying them up. They are pretty to look at, at I am reduced to a 7 year old every time I see the display.

I only had one Barbie as a child, my sister and I shared it, actually. It was a hand-me-down from the younger sister of the Aunt who just emailed. We played with her all the time. If that particular doll was mint in the box today, it would be worth a LOT today. I think she was like only the 3rd or 4th model to come out. She looked a lot like Lucille Ball.
