So Who Sez REBEL SKUNKS Can't Have Fashions?

REBEL SKUNK fashions. From the comic book "Rebel Skunk" Blackthorne Publishing Incorporated. The actual comic book is packed away, just the paper doll page is in the binder, so I do not have the name of the artist. The date on the back of this page is 1986.

ENGLAND BROTHERS Newspaper Ad, 1944

This ad appeared in a Massachusettes newspaper on February 03, 1944. "Let's go over the top - Buy, Buy War Bonds, Bye Bye War!" The ad features clothing from England Brothers' Sportswear Department. "I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own!"

My BARBIE Paper Dolls, 1970 & 1972




Here are two of my BARBIE paper dolls. I still have almost all of their clothing and accessories. I really do like 1970's fashions. The Barbie from 1970 goes with the Ken paper doll that I have already posted.




BARBIE Sings!









I found this at a rummage sale at a Catholic Church on Saturday. "BARBIE Sings! 6 terrific teen-age tunes sung by Barbie and Ken (and you can sing along, too!)" BARBIE is sung by Charlotte Austin and KEN by Bill Cunningham. Words and Music by Eliot Daniel and Ken Darby. 1961, Mattel, Inc.

Pat (or is it Etta) Paper Doll, 1932

From October 16, 1932. It is easy to see that this young artist, Rose, age 14, was influenced by Etta Kett paper dolls.

Hi . . . I'm Janie Johnson, 1962

"OFF to school . . . but first to j.fred johnson. Hi . . . I'm Janie Johnson and this is part of my back-to-school wardrobe. Cut me out, paste me on cardboard and color my outfits . . ." This ad appeared in a Tennessee newspaper on August 26, 1962. I think Miss Janie Johnson is a cute paper doll and I like her early 1960's school wardrobe.
