In her place of work Goldblatts Dept. : Store, the lady had her hair done, (cut, : colored, or permed) in a cubicle with a : door. A sort of personal closet. So my : great aunt had Barbie watching. : I wanted a Barbie too (right?) "Oh no, : you are too young for a Barbie" was the : answer. I begged for months. Well, guess : what? On Christmas I received my Mom's doll : and my Great Aunt's doll along with a case : and some clothes. Boy was I a very happy : little girl. : So what happened to these two historical : dolls? : At sixteen, I gave them both away, along : with the dream house, the beauty shoppe, : more dolls and clothes, to two little girls : (sisters) as a : gift. Within one year, my carefully played : with dolls that I enjoyed, were destroyed by : them and their brother. Everything!!! : Oh well, I still have my wonderful : memories... : Barbie Your Beautiful... : : :
