Show and Tell


This weekly bit of public speaking passes us by most Fridays but today M decided to take in her mermaid Barbie - the youngest in her retinue - at a mere two years old. How does she know this? Each has a year of production and the word Mattel imprinted in their sveltely curved backs.

She then agreed to take her oldest too, at 46 year old c. 1966, with the Elizabeth Taylor hairdo and diamanté necklace. Attempts to fit her chest into more contemporary clothing failed and we were late as we had to find her original larger-breasted slip dress. So thankfully not naked like her peers.

Mrs M was much amused and shares a house with teenagers and still clotheless Barbies and sent us photos from M's top presentation (above taken back at home).
