1:42 pmFashion Plates
Ok girls, raise your hand if you remember the awesomeness that was “Fashion Plates”!
Oh yeah, you remember. Select a plate with a head, select a plate with a shirt, and select a bottom; put the plates in the thingy, put a piece of paper on top, hold paper firmly, and rub with a black crayon. Viola! A sweet looking, smartly dressed Barbie ready to color!
w00t! I had this same set of Barbie plates when I was a little girl. This set happened to belong to one of Jon’s sisters. I saved it from being sold at the garage sale last week. It’s one of Zoe’s and my favorite past times.
An interesting note: if you wait 25 years, Barbie’s clothes come back into fashion. Check it out:
Both of those outfits are now available at Old Navy.

I laughed hard when I read this post because I LOVED BARBIE FASHION, and I forgot all about them.
I should go look at my parents house… I bet mom still has them….

I love those things. I found an original set at goodwill or somewhere for 1.50. I don’t have little girls to buy them for, so I had to admit that they were for me. I love to find old toys that I played with and introduce them to the kids!

I remember those! Love them! Those and paper dolls!
The funny thing is I have all boys and I could see them enjoying these Barbie things too!
