Hey TGs,
So on the weekend I heard about this amaze sale. I love to shop. And I love a bargain, so I went into the city to check it out. Wanna know what I scored for just $2.40? Read on…
Ta-da! My very own Original Barbie Doll.
Original Barbie Dolls were released in 1959 and looked just like this. I’m into her gold earrings and awesome curly fringe! They’re pretty rare – one even sold for a massive $27,450 – but 56 years later, Mattel has re-released the original doll, complete with black and white swimmers. For. The. Original. Price. Only $3 at Myer. How crazy is that? It’s like Tooth Fairy money.
When I heard this totes special, limited-edition Barbie was coming to town, I got outta bed heaps early and lined up at Myer. Then, with a hundred other Barbie fans, I dashed up a bunch of escalators and nabbed a bargain Barbie. It was even cheaper than I expected coz there was a 20 per cent off sale! There were only 500 of these dolls released in Australia at the mad discount but if you’re heaps keen for your own spesh Barbie, don’t worry, you can start saving cause they’re still on shelves for $44.95.
So, now I’ve told you TGs all about my amaze purchase, I thought I’d share five Barbie secrets with you…
- Did you know Barbie has a middle name? It’s Millicent.
- Barbie’s had more than 150 careers! Phew, that’s heaps!
- Barbie has run for president six times! But she’s not yet been successful. Better luck next time, Barbie.
- Barbie’s first pet was a horse called Dancer.
- Back in 1965, Barbie travelled into space! She’s such a pioneer.
