Clipping the hair provides a new hairdo, but young girls couldn’t possibly have done a good job — the results may have looked like mutilation. I’d say over analysis is a good assessment.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373960140777556685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-45602684601429882002018-03-07T08:51:52.934-06:002018-03-07T08:51:52.934-06:00We're both right, Coey.

I did that when I was twelve. Luckily, my father found the doll before my 8-year-old sister did, or she might have been really traumatized. I wasn't as fortunate...and got a good whupping. Today, I would probably face a psychological evaluation by a battery of court-appointed shrinks. It was a kinder and gentler era. Better to face the music from a belt.<br /><br />The victim was an "Original Barbie" from 1959, in the zebra-striped outfit. Big Brother most likely ruined its resale value and collectability.
