one more toy


Imagine this, only without the cassette and extra outfit. And without the multilingual box.

And then imagine two of them.

And then imagine both of them without heads.

The number of Barbies in this country living with extarordinarily short necks is probably astronomical.

My first Barbie, 1986, Ballerina Edition, could conveniently remove her skirt (with irritating snap at back -- try snapping a tiny snap with tiny fingers) and go straight to the pool in her swimsuit-like leotard.
