Reply #68: I had Chrissy and the ballerina doll too!

[emmadoggy]

My sister had Velvet and also had the ballerina doll (you are referring to the large ballerina that had the crown on her head with a knob that you pulled up to turn her on and then she spun around and you could pose her legs in different positions??). Actually, I still have both of them in a container in my basement. I also had Chatty Cathy and Malibu Barbie and QuickCurl Kelly (barbie) and Tiffany (you could turn her scalp to change her from blonde to brunette - she was gorgeous!). I remember being generally happy with the stuff I had. I remember my cousins getting some things that I thought were really cool and would have liked, but I wasn't dissatisfied with what I had.

I do remember wanting Zena jeans and having to settle for the imitation brand (can't remember the name now....R.D. Simpson?? or something like that.) and I remember how cool the original Nike swoosh shoes were, but I only had the cheaper knock-off of those too.

For years I always wanted a horse and never got one of those, lol. Had to settle for riding my cousins' horses - which was fine really. I'm sure there must have been some other things I wanted and never got, but I'm having a hard time remembering that far back, lol.
