Happy Birthday Barbie!

Did you know today is Barbie's 50th birthday? Happy birthday Barbie. I remember getting Western Barbie for Christmas when I was a little girl and she was supposed to be able to wink with one of her beautiful blue eye-shadowed eyes but it didn't work. I remember being in my room with the door closed and smacking my brand new Barbie against my dresser. I don't know why. Maybe I thought that would make her work. Poor Western girl. For the most part, I loved my Barbies and took very good care of them. I dressed them stylishly and let them drive happily around in the pink convertible. I love the memories I have of being a little girl and letting my imagination roam with those dolls.
