Oh, good point. I guess most of my Barbies ended up naked, dismembered, and crayoned-upon, but I was rough on my toys as a wee thing.

When they were in high school, my mother and her sister used to make Barbie clothes, and when I was older I was allowed access to their '60s dolls and wardrobes. I always liked the Barbies that had the little pixie cuts so short their hair was made of plastic, just like Ken's; it seemed somehow more efficient and truer to the exercise.
