Hey, beautiful! Happy 50.

Thanks for the memories, Barbie. Didn’t we have fun?

My favorite Barbie accessory: tiny pretty shoes.

My darling husband told me he didn’t let his daughter, Laura, have Barbies when she was little. We didn’t marry until she was a teen-ager, so I cannot be blamed for this shocking act of cruelty. It makes me so sad.

Laura, any time you want you can come over and we’ll play Barbies.
