Talking Barbie first appeared in 1967,with a long braid. (You can see mine HERE.) The second version,which includes today's doll,had what is referred to as a 'nape curl' hair style. In other words, the hair curls at the nape,or the back, of the neck.
Her hair should be curled tightly at the back of her neck. It's not as tightly curled as it was originally,so the hair isn't as close to her neck.
It kind of looks nice fluffy like this, but her side spit curls seem to get lost in the sides of the hair.
Maybe I could just recurl those. Of course, you've been told how bad I am with hair,so you know that's probably not going to happen any time soon.
Her forehead spit curl is still in pretty good shape though.
The third version also had a nape curl style,but she had centered eyes. This is the second version, since she has side glance eyes.

Like a lot of Talking Barbies,this lady has an issue with one of her legs. It has fallen off,a common problem for these dolls.

| her situation does allow her to do this pose though. |
The outfit she's wearing is called Travel Togethers.
It's a Barbie fashion from 1967.
It consists of the hat, jacket, and skirt...
...and red closed toe pumps, which I don't have. As usual,I am sadly lacking in shoes.
That's today's doll. See you tomorrow for another one.
