Happy HNT! Bobbing for Blondes


Happy HNT! What I love about this picture is the bodiless doll floating in the tub with me. Until I saw this photo, I never knew I was distructive with my toys. Do I remember the beheaded beauty? No, not a flicker of recognition. The toys I most remember from my youth include my GI Joe - I have the one with blond hair and the dueling scar. He only has one military uniform and that's his parachuting gear. I mostly dressed him in Kens clothes much to his chagrin. He dated Malibu Barbie with her bendy arms & legs and she dug his rugged good looks. I have a Chrissy doll with red hair of course. And I have several Topsy Turvy dolls and their cars with the road maps to drive them upon. I also have my PEZ collection which started when I was about 6 and has continued to this day. I'll dedicated a future post to them. Let's not forget the Kiddles and their charms. I even have one in her perfume bottle. I can say have, because I have a Mom who saved everything for me. I guess it was pretty easy for her 'cuz I'm am an only child, but she gets major points for helping them survive the 2 thousand mile trek from Chicago to LA when we moved in the late 70's. Do you have a favorite doll or toy from your youth? Or is there a toy you wish you still had?
