There is nothing new under the sun! Back in the '60s, we tortured our Barbies, too. We "dyed" their hair with Magic Markers, cut their fingernails and toenails, used ball-point pens for "makeup", pierced their ears with straight pins...and two Barbies tied on each end of a two-foot-length rope made a neat bolo!

Same decade; I was probably 7-ish. I remember visiting my cousins' house. His sisters insisted on running their Barbies around in their little plastic cars. But I and my folks had recently visited 'South of the Border' on I-95, and I had several M-80's left...
Sometimes I wonder how I and everybody around me survived my childhood with limbs and eyeballs intact.

"We "dyed" their hair with Magic Markers, cut their fingernails and toenails, used ball-point pens for "makeup",..." Makes me think of the baby doll my youngest sister had. She always played doctor on that doll - had those toy syringes which she filled with colored water and other liquids. Found that doll later, and boy did it stink! I think it eventually fell apart. : - )

Oh, you know what I mean. Mattel pierced her ears.
