I had Batman's sidekick. But he was a BOY, which was not nearly as cool.
Oh, I don't know, except did you play Batman and Robin, and did your friends always try to make you be Robin? After a while, I refused to be Cindy Brady just because of the name. I wanted to be Marcia. Never wanted to be Jan, though.
I had a (girl) cousin named Robin, so I always thought "Robin" was an odd Superhero name for a boy. I didn't know at the time, that it had been a boy's name.
I do have the bitchy girls in one of my generation's cultish movies.
Yes, and that was a cool movie, to boot.
Allyson, your scissors are in your top right drawer.
"Housekeeper" is not in my job description. ARGH
Ah I see that the salespeople here and your rocket scientist both subscribe to " Chauvinist Daily" Somehow, cleaning the coffee pot and replacing the water bottle have become part of my "other duties as assigned" I don't even drink coffee at work!
I always wanted a Chrissy because of the hair thing. My Midge doll and I also participated in the Invasion at Normandy serveral times, assisting GI Joe and assorted other soldiers. My brother was a femnist before his time (actually he wanted someone to help invade Normandy and this was my price)
From Jessica's link I found out that a doll does share my name, one of the Rock Flowers
These colorful six and a half-inchers were to Dawn what Jem was to Barbie. While Dawn was at the Beauty Parlor (trying to bolster her self-esteem with a new doo because of her inferior articulation), Heather, Lilac and Rosemary were rocking the free world, not so much with music but certainly with style. Mattel gave the world the Rock Flowers and their pre-disco clothes from 1971 to 1974.
The girls, and later the guys, were packaged with a .45 record featuring 2 Rock Flower songs. The clothing sets were packaged in record-shaped cards and are just dripping with flares, flowers and fringe. The songs on the records are typical Archies/Josie and the Pussycats tunes about love and sunny days.
When looking for Rock Flowers today you might have a hard time coming up with shoes and sunglasses, not only for the obvious reasons (how many got dropped down air conditioning vents?), but also because the dolls were dumped on the market at the end of the line in 1974 as generic Fashion Dolls, without shoes or sunglasses.
I had Rock Flowers! O my gawd. I remember loving the songs.
one of the Rock Flowers
Sweet! Which we covered in the Bubblegum book. and which I think I have found a pirated music source
ARE NONE OF YOU WATCHING ROBOT CHICKEN?!! Where's the Seth Green love? It's funny. Not as funny as Venture Brothers or Sealab but still pretty good. And I was thinking of Ple a lot during the last episode which featured a Cannonball Run parody with all the slashy action figures:Batman and Robin, Speed Racer and the monkey, Bo and Luke, Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise.
Also, I called Payroll because i couldn't understand a particular tax deduction and wondered if I could make a change, and the guy at Payroll just said, "those are taxes, welcome to the grown-up world."
I'm 38, and I had Dawn dolls long before I was allowed to have Barbies
Ahhh see I'm almost 48 -- by the time Dawn dolls came out, I was 8th grade or so, out of the doll phase and into the boy phase.
LEE! Hihi
"those are taxes, welcome to the grown-up world."
What a jerk!
welcome to the grown-up world.
Dude. So where did you hide the body?
I was 8th grade or so, out of the doll phase and into the boy phase.
Dolls were easier.
Did anyone have Liddle Kiddles? [link]
I had a big Liddle Kiddles suitcase that opened up. There was a pool in the middle, and little houses all around. My mother gave them to my cousin's good for nothing kids, who ruined them. She also gave them my crib, and we never got it back. I foolishly lent my kids' crib to the oldest of these kids, when she had her baby, and she moved across country, but left it in her old apartment.

I keep having to tape it and check it out later, but Robot Chicken ROCKS!!!
