It's the oddest thing. Last week I found the above link on a blog, so I made a little picture of "myself" using the fun gadgets the link has. I've never heard of "Mad Men". However, I was born in 1960, and love the memories I have of that time, foggy though they may be.Today on the Oprah show, which I rarely watch, Oprah had a flashback to the 1960's and she was wearing a girdle which killed her, and a gorgeous pink dress. Her hairdo was swept up on top of her head, and she had dangling earrings.
On the episode there were different items shown from the 60's: TV commercials and shows, toys, music, etc. One of the toys Oprah had on display was CHATTY CATHY! She said she always wanted one, but her parents couldn't afford the $16 price.
My mom said the same in 1964, when she bought a Chatty Cathy for me and my younger sister. She had to put the dolls on her Sears charge card in order to purchase them!
Oprah also had an interview with two people from the show, "Mad Men". I learned more about it, and although I don't think I'd like the plotline much, I know I'd love the fashions and furniture!
I enjoyed Oprah's show today!

Dog gone it, I wish I would have seen that. Today I was in Snohomish all day, looking for gnomes and childrens books. My Chatty was bought at the Bellingham Sears store in the 60's. She is the one doll, I wish I still had. I also liked Tippy Toes.
