Quick Curl Barbie






A paper doll from Barbie Quick Curl coloring book copyright 1975.  Barbie looks very young in this book but I like the art.  I did not scan in all the pages, just the paper doll related ones.  The coloring book has a story about Barbie running for class president.

Zappos Ad

A cute and cleaver Zappos Ad featuring a paper doll.  Not sure if those shoes actually fit her but the concept is well thought out.  There's even a code to a dress up link online if you have a smart phone.  Copyright 2011.  Nice to go through magazines and still find the occasional paper doll.
