But I DID have one of these very excellent Barbie Townhouses in the 70s.
I especially loved the elevator – and Barbie’s super not comfy bed. I liked the way Barbie sort of jolted about in the lift as you pulled the string. She wasn’t so good at standing up straight – esp with her go-go boots on. But who is?
Sometimes The Six Million Dollar Man would visit – but he always seemed a little bit weird for the Barbie Townhouse. He had that weird eye you could look through via the back of his head. It’s a bit yick.
And Sindy. Well Sindy visited too, but her bottom didn’t fit nicely into the Barbie Armchair, so she didn’t visit very often. This seemed to suit Barbie – esp when Mr Six Million was sniffing around. (I think he didn’t realise Barbie had a single bed, you know what I mean?)
Anyway. I love the Barbie Townhouse. I love the fake rooms and the pilons and the groovy furniture. I loved everything about it. And I still do.
