My very first Barbie - 1965. It was love at first sight and I spent many, many happy hours, days, weeks, months and years with her until the first month of 1968 when I had my first real crush on a boy. Barbie was then forgotten! But she was again resurrected in the early eighties when I bought my eldest daughter her first Barbie and I gave her her last Barbie at the age of 16. I had the honour of buying a Barbie for my eldest granddaughter Georgia too! Now I look forward to giving Abigail, my youngest granddaughter, her first Barbie.
My second Barbie, in 1966 - she had rooted hair and was magnificent!

Hi Pat,
I loved my Barbie Doll and wasn't she so elegant with all her lovely clothes. Does not seem that long ago!

Pat, That is one funny picture!
I had Barbies in the early 60's. Had. All gone now, I'm sad to say. Woulda coulda shoulda. I, too, loved my Barbies! Hugs, Laura
I can't believe she is 50. I love your bears. My friends and I have a birthday bear, which we pass around on birthdays dressed differently each time. We do this instead of presents.
I've been so very tempted sometimes when I see Barbie for the special holiday dolls, but still have never purchased one.

Hey Pat,
Sadly I don't have any of my old Barbie Dolls, What does make me glad is that she's always gonna be older than me lol. BTW I just love Gladys.. she's precious.
THanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend,
Hugs,
Debbie
