Dolls were never my thing, either. I wanted guns! My two younger girls have a couple of Barbies and two or three "Groovy Girls" (cloth dolls) that they play with sometimes, but they'd rather be outside playing Civil War.
I had dolls and loved them above all else. I still have my favorites. But nothing that was a name brand, except for one Madame Alexander and I wasn't allowed to play with her. I still have her, too.
And we weren't allowed to have Barbies. We did have Chrissie dolls and some one of the aunts made a huge wardrobe of outfits for them.
Oh, well. We thought having our own record players was quite a boon.
do they play the right side, or do they play the north???
