I was excited to find this at the library. Most of the items in the pockets that you can take out and look at were - surprisingly - still there. That was fun. I guess I just wanted more pictures, more stories, more Barbie! I loved Barbie as a kid. Trying to put 50 years into one volume was just too much stuff and things that I wanted them to put in there were just missing.

Ah, memories - Malibu Barbie, Skipper (the one who grows boobs when you move her arm!), the Corvette, the house, the motor home, Ken with the painted on hair (and missing fingers, hmmm, a horrible accident in the Corvette?), all that yellow and orange! Yes, I did Barbie back when ORANGE was COOL. Then PINK became the new ORANGE. Sheesh. I only got in on the very beginning of that trend - I still can't relate Barbie to the color Pink.

This book is worth a look, but it will only leave you wanting more (if you're a fanatic. Of course, I'm not in any way a fanatic.)… (meer)
