dazzling plastic


so, i know jean-lucien will remember this, but i'm not so sure about anyone else. i had this toy. and for months i'd been trying to find a picture of it on the wild web. and quite by accident tonight, i stumbled on it. as you can probably see, it was for use with the 4 1/2 inch fashion dolls, like glamour gals. wow, if you click to enlarge, you can see the cool illustrated backgrounds of each 'room' in the groovy disco-themed doll pad. i have to admit, i still dig the purple and hot pink and sunset orange theme of the decor. i seem to remember one was a bedroom, a livingroom, a salon? and i think a place with a dance floor and a little orange plastic jukebox. see the rounded 'awning' parts atop the entrance of each room? well, i remember the slim fruit-stripe colored stickers that went across that part were always like, curling up and threatening to come off... but only on that awning-part, for some reason. i think you can see near the bottom that all four sections could be brought together, and the curvy parts on the top of the white frame made like, a little carrying handle. man, seeing something like this makes me realize just how many days and months and years i've been alive. i wonder if mine is still up in my mother's old attic?

I totally remember this toy. I never had it, but somebody I knew did. Do they still make toys like this? I love it
