"I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellows cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real"
~ "Paper Doll" by the Mills Brothers
I love paper dolls almost as much as I love regular dolls! Their colorful graphics and groovy fashions are simply fabulous. I have a nice collection of Barbie vintage paper dolls published by Whitman (Golden) from the 1960s through the 1980s. In dedication, this is a showcase of some of my favorites. Alas, these are relics of days gone by as paper dolls are not as popular with newer generations. That's too bad.
