3/6/19 discussion about Barbie dolls in my life

Here is the link to my March 6, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about the role Barbie dolls have played in my life.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2015 History Colorado Center talk with Tanya Lee Stone about her book The Good, the Bad, and the Barbie: A Doll's History and Her Impact on Us.

Tanya Lee Stone came to the History Colorado Center to discuss her book as a special event related to the exhibit Toys of the '50's, '60's, and '70's, which was at the HCC at that time. Some things Stone discussed in her talk were Ruth Handler's history, the creation of Barbie, Barbie's impact on society, and Stone's own thoughts on her writing -- namely her idea of writing "true stories" as opposed to "nonfiction."

Here is a quick segment Denver 8 TV about the HCC's Toys exhibit.
