I love seeing your Allan with all his fashions. I have at least one pair of the two-toned loafers, but alas, none of the striped socks. Precious!

Aside from the horrible stinging insect and the pain and agony of it all, the conversation about Midge, Barbie, Allen and Ken is hilarious!<br />Damb bugs!<br />Hope you get better soon Christine!<br />Tracy....great finds as always!<br />Hugs,<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172254516943080722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-37458899110369161162010-08-26T12:28:33.817-04:002010-08-26T12:28:33.817-04:00Exactly so!

Poor Midge: she never had a chance against Barbie, what with her unfortunate pug nose, wiry red hair, and face full of freckles. Those cruel Mattel designers... Although, Midge DID, in my opinion, get the cuter boyfriend. Ken really was rather a dork, I always thought. So I guess Midge did all right after all!<br /><br />p.s hope your midge bite is all better now.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093220429913265429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315368106736177085.post-54204473593830386992010-08-25T16:26:39.676-04:002010-08-25T16:26:39.676-04:00With classic clothes like that, he doesn't eve...With classic clothes like that, he doesn't even have to be cute. <br /><br />Now, I hope you'll excuse me for going of on a tangent - it's about Midge. A few months ago I was bitten by an insect. I saw it land on my arm, felt a sting and saw it fly away. It looked harmless, but by the next day it had swollen up and was red and hot to the touch. It itched intensely and took many weeks to go away. Why am I telling you this? Well, because I looked online and found out that I had been bitten by a midge, which immediately made me wonder why anyone would name a girl or a doll after a nasty stinging insect.<br /><br />I think what I'm saying is that Allan (and you) may be better off without her.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
