At the grand old age of 7 I was given a Girls World Styling head for my Birthday. This toy provided me with countless hours of make-over fun. This poor doll was drawn on with Crayola Crayons, she had her hair hacked, she had what was left of her once beautiful hair covered with food colouring and felt tip pen…My little brother even gave her a Play-Doh wart!
The Girls world head was truly the most versatile and inspiring toy that a girl could own! I thought that these toys would be long gone, but after having a snoop on Argos I have found that they still make them….so go on buy one for your Child / Niece. Or boyfriends and Husbands can avoid having their hair plaited by purchasing one of these for their partner / Wife.
…She lives in a stable and drinks Carling Black Label!!
Those were the good old days, when it was cool to play with small plastic horses!
I had a couple of ponies which I had personalised with a felt tip pen and a pair of scissors.
I was pleased to see when I was browsing Argos, that they still make My Little Ponies!
It’s great that a whole new generation is still able to play with these very cute toys and they even make one that you can decorate (see I was a trendsetter!) One of the first movies that I ever went to the cinema to see was My Little Pony: The Movie. This is a very good film to watch after a couple of drinks, Its like watching film Noir!
My Little Pony is a product line of colorful toy ponies marketed primarily to young girls and produced by the toy manufacturer Hasbro. The toys were first introduced in 1982 and became immensely popular during the 80s, at one point even outselling Mattel’s Barbie!
Such is my love for the little plastic buggers thatI have a stunning t-shirt festooned with glitter declaring that I am a small girl trapped in the body of a 29yr old! The T-shirts are fab and can be bought here
And a T-Shirt is a whole less painfull than this:
