Here is an interesting aside.

Did you know that the Barbie Doll was based on a Sex Doll created for German soldiers back during Hitler’s reign?

Many thanks to Mattel for Barbies and American Girl dolls and little toy cars. My son used to carry a car in each hand at all times, when he was two.

Also, we are grateful, here in the LA area, that Mattel has provided jobs for so many people for so many years.

Long may they play!
