Hey Cochise
I guess I've been so wrapped up in Barbie I missed her going to go do a search for her

 

I didnt find the cindy doll except cindy,from the brady bunch doll but found an interesting article while I was searching

Cindy Jackson spent 10 years and US$100,000 on 20 cosmetic surgery procedures to make her dream come true -- to look like a Barbie doll.

Undergoing everything from facelifts to liposuction to nose jobs, she transformed herself from a plain Ohio farm girl to a glamourous beauty said to be dating the late Princess Diana's former lover, James Hewitt.

Now she runs a cosmetic surgery consulting service in London and is a highly visible example of a growing trend in cosmetic surgery -- the frequent flier.

 

Hey Rita, maybe 30 or so? Yep, probably her favourite.....as I said before, she can't take a bath without about 6 for company!

 

my kind of little girl always were my favourte too

 

Oooh MY!! Barbie and Ken starring in a bodice ripper!!
