Neither my sister or I had Barbie Dolls. We had to make do for our medical and sexual play acting with my erstwhile bear Todd (he of the lopsided nostrils), and a rather scrawny looking squirrel called Zotty (who appeared to be suffering from the advanced stages of squirrel leprosy). I know my sister hankered after a Barbie, which is a shame really. As I recall my folks claimed they were too expensive.
