Execellent coverage! I must get over there to see them in person - although I am sure your pictures do it justice! Great story!

Great post. Thanks. I saved my Barbies for M. (including the 1950s ones I inherited from an older cousin) but she rejected them. Wonder what that means? Actually, one of my favorites was Skipper.

I have a question, one of your posts was about Barbie dolls and you actually took a picture of a barbie doll i've been trying to track down from my childhood. It's the barbie in the background of your Miss America Barbie doll. Do you by any chance know the name of that doll? I would greatly appreciate any leads. Thank you.

No, unfortunately, Barbie's 50th Birthday was in 2009 so the dolls are no longer displayed in Bloomingdales.
