I took these pictures in 2007 when we were remodeling our house, and I catalogued and repacked my Mattel dolls that are stored in the attic. This doll bed was given to me by Christine and John (they modified it with a “vibrating” function because they’re funny that way). Barbie’s wearing some vintage Francie fashion (“Tuckered Out,” 1966) that belonged to Lynne.
Another shot with the vintage Barbie “Nighty Negligee” from around 1961.
And I was eventually going to do something funny with this other shot from 2007, but then Michael Jackson died while trying to sleep, and it didn’t seem appropriate. So without any tasteless jokes, I simply present my Michael Jackson doll wearing Ken’s Active Wear pajama set, circa 1992:
I love these older dolls and their fashions, and Lynne kept most of her doll clothes in better shape than I kept mine.
The dolls again. I’ve tried, but I may be awake tonight! :0
btw, the anthology you are editing. More romance stories?
Yes, they are more romance stories. We’ve gotten some good ones, too!
Don’t let the dolls bother you. They’re harmless.
So the glass of milk that Michael is holding…that’s really his propofol, isn’t it?
(You knew somebody had to make a tasteless joke!)
At least it wasn’t me!
I always knew you were the sort of person to own a vibrating doll and an action pajama set… :o)
Ha ha!
