now that I think about it, I'll have to check with my sister. My mom had my dolls, and when she died, I don't know who inherited them ...

Well no offense, Lori, but I think you got stuck sucking the fuzzy end of the lollipop on that deal LOL. Did you confront your parents about it or does it come up over family fights at the dinner table or anything?

My first African-American doll was Julia...Dianne Carrol's tv show character. I am going to the National Barbie Conv and Julia is the featured doll on the souveniers this year, I am so thrilled!!!! I remember being sick and my dad brought me a surprise it was a Julia coloring book..I was so excited. That gift and a Donna Summer album were 2 of the most special gifts my dad gave me...not the most expensive but they came at just the right time. Funny how this thread brings back so many memories

I remember just about every chick in my high school did a "Rosanna Rosannadanna" impersonation. That got old really fast.

GAL, I agree. A few more years of therapy and I'll probably be over it.

Knock Knock Who's there? Land Shark! Another favorite SNL was John Belushi's Julia Child chopping off her finger and the No Coke - Pepsi routine.

I went to jr high school in 1970, so I had just about quit playing with dolls in the 1970's. I still played with some of the younger sisters of my best friend, but of course we were 'too old' for dolls and were just playing with the kids to be nice to them. Uh huh. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I had a Tammy doll because they were the cheaper version of Barbie. I carried the few clothes I had for my Tammy around in a paper bag, but they had the cute little Barbie cases crammed with clothes and all the accessories. (One Christmas, in the late 60's, Santa brought me Tammy's dream house which was no where as near as cool as Barbie's dream house, but I still thought I'd died and gone to heaven.) My little sister was a tomboy. My mom still held out hope for her and bought her dolls, but I faintly remember the disembodied head of a Velvet doll hanging by it's hair in a tree in the backyard.

Lisa Loopner and her friend, Todd: Todd: Aaagghhh!! Noogie Patrol! [ pulls Lisa over and pounds noogies into her head ] Here's those special Prom Noogies that you ordered! You sent away for those, didn't you? Lisa Loopner: Quit it, Pizza Face! You're messing up my hair! Boy, are you ever immature! Todd: Say, uh, are they any new developments? [ peeks down her blouse ] No, I guess not! Say, you oughtta really put some band-aids on those mosquito bites you got there! Lisa Loopner: That's so funny, I forgot to laugh!

I'm Gumby dammit! And we loved Garrett Morris's news for the hard of hearing. The world stopped each week so we could watch All in the Family and Sanford and Son.

Wow, this thread has taken off in the last couple of days! I had a Chrissy doll, my best friend had Velvet. Always loved my Barbies - had all of them including Skipper's boyfriend, forgot his name now. Vacanick, I had a Baby Alive doll!!! Used to push the spoon with the fake food in her mouth and you could actually hear the gears grinding as she "chewed"! My favorite dolls were Tippee Toes, and Baby First Step. I even bought a vintage Baby First Step on Ebay a few years ago, in her original dress! Ebay is a great place to look at old dolls.

Skipper's boyfriend was Ricky. I had him along with her friend Scooter, whom I loved because she looked just like my Midge doll. I had every Barbie that came out. And remember her little sister Tutti and her friend Todd?

i never heard of velvet or chrissy dolls! i guess i was a child of the 60's. i had a mary poppins doll with her carpet bag, umbrella and a few changes of clothes. i had a little red spinning wheel. i loved my cinderella watch, even though i'd have prefered a blue one to the pink one i got... in the 70's, i remember wearing 'platform' shoes, which was good because otherwise i couldn't reach the ground to stop my bike. i lived in the bronx from 74-77 (son of sam was caught just before my 23rd birthday, we had a blackout in july of 77, and new year's eve was always a blast in manhattan. not time's square, just fun bars). barry manilow was new and 'in', saturday night live was brand new (i attended the sissy spacek hosted show), the beegees pre-disco were great, the pet rock was a big seller for christmas time in 75 or 76...i got to attend a lot of broadway shows for nothing. i ate at mama leone's and tavern on the green and paulding's bar and grill. the last one was a neighborhood haunt at the end of my block in the bronx. on sunday mornings, especially if it was cold and snowy, i would hurry out for the new york times and a fresh loaf of bread from scaglione's bakery and make a pot of coffee and spend all day in bed. i was in a basement apartment under a brownstone house and i had no heat! mrs. weinberg's chopped liver factory was on my way to work and i could always smell garlic and onions (they even had an article in people magazine about her place after she passed away). i lived illegally in the albert einstein college of medicine dorms. years later, my children's ENT at a california kaiser was a gal who lived in the dorm but WAS a medical student! we remembered each other from some parties and hallway passings. monte carlo was a hot car. the granada had just come out and it was a big seller, too. i, gulp, drove a pinto station wagon! but i got it new and my friend's parents bought it for me. i used to hang out at the 'tenda trap' (the place where the father of the gal in "looking for mr. goodbar" used to hang out. there were 6 phones on the red carpeted wall and none had a dial tone. a phone would ring, the old bartender "charlie" would deny someone was there and then call out to someone in the bar, "hey, joey cement shoes, get your ass outa here!" the police used to come by and get blank envelopes full of cash). the son of sam terrorized all of us...i hung out with the old drummer from dion and the belmonts. i spent long days exploring the botannical gardens (snowball was a new baby polar bear that i saw grow from a dust mite to his first swim lessons, etc.), the manhattan museums, and i remember going to the gugenheim when it was brand new. it was kind of strange because it was all circular ramps that led up and down the interior. the oral surgeon i worked for did extractions for alice crimmins. she was alice grace when i saw her. as alice crimmins, she had reported her two kids missing and they were found dead in a field right near her home. she only did maybe 10 years and then married one of joey cement shoes' friends, a cement contractor named anthony grace. when she came to the office, all the other patients were whispering. she came in a big red convertible cadillac with longhorn on the hood front. i think at the time, she was able to go home weekends or something from the prison. a guard came with her and we could not put her to sleep, although you can bet there were a few things i'd have wanted to ask her and get the truth of!! man, those were exciting days!! if one of my kids lived alone in the bronx at age 20, and i was 3,000 miles away, i would be a nervous wreck!!
