Lazy Dazy ~ This doll was my absolute favorite. I have such fond memories of her. To this day, her "unexplained" disappearance will forever haunt me (thanks Mom).2. Tessie Talk ~ Peculiar little thing she was, this ventriloquist's doll.
3. Tiffany Taylor ~ A diva before her time. With a twist of her scalp, she went from blonde bombshell to beautiful brunette. AND...when placed in the sun, she actually tanned.
4.
Magic Hair Carrie ~ Another interesting creature. Press her belly button, pull her hair and viola, instant long blonde locks. Twist the nob on her back and she returned to her sassy short do.5. Baby Crissy ~ Same concept as Carrie but in a cuddly baby (well, as cuddly as hard vinyl can be).
6. Quick Curl Kelley ~ From the ingenious minds of Mattel came the "Quick Curl" series of Barbie. This beauty had needle-thin wires in her hair and when "curled" with the miniature pink plastic curling iron she was a sight to behold.
7. My bright yellow bike with the banana seat. Many hours were spent with a flexible straw taped to it (my gearshift of course) picking up and dropping off "patrons" on my bus route.
The memories these toys elicit are strong, warm, and full of smiles. A girlie-girl I was, my dolls were some of the best friends I've ever had.
