What a great "memory lane" thread!!
Back for my 7th birthday, I fell in love with Happenin Hair Francie, Barbie's cousin. I wanted her so bad! Well, lo and behold, I got her - and I STILL have her to this day
I no longer have her hair pieces or her original dress/shoes but have thought about trying to get them off ebay.
For Christmas one year (can't remember the year, '72 maybe or '73) all I asked for was the Movin Grovin Crissy doll - yep - got her too and still have her! She's in her original dress (shoes long gone
) and sitting on a shelf in my room.
I still have my Malibu Barbie, Malibu Ken, Mod Hair Ken, and some clothes and shoes. I had just about everything Barbie you could imagine and when we moved from Florida to Mississippi back in '78, we gave a lot of our barbie stuff to some kids in our church who didn't really have a whole lot - and there was an original barbie in there!!
