When I was a little girl I loved playing with paper dolls! I was just wondering which paper dolls you girls had. Mine were from the 50's. Some that I had were;

Gale Storm-"My Little Margie" star(sitcom)

Sandra Dee- Teen queen the original Gidget

Annette Funicello- Mouseketeer

Donna Reed- The Donna Reed Show

Debbie Reynolds- film star

Giselle Mac Kenzie- Singer on "Your Hit Parade"

My daughter had Greg and Marcia and Donny and Marie


Here's Sandra Dee as Gidget with James Darren and Cliff Robertson

I used to play with paper dolls a lot too! Well, mine were from the mid 80's early 90's and mostly like barbie paper dolls. I do remember playing with my mom and aunt's old paper dolls from the 60's and the clothes would stick on with magnets. I also remember some Mary Poppins paper dolls my mom had, too. Those things are so much fun! Who knew just some paper would be so entertaining? :)

I used to have some paper dolls. Some of mine were Barbie, some where Disney characters, and I think some of them were like these little pioneer girls or something.

I had the Lennon Sisters. Kathy was my favorite.
I think I also had Betsy McCall or similar. It's been a very long time! There were also generic ones.

I forgot about Betsy McCall! These paperdolls would be in each issue of McCalls magazine. Is she still a feature there? I haven't seen McCalls in years!

I liked Kathy Lennon best also!:D

I use to have some, but I wasnt really into them that much. My mom tried to make me play with girly things but I liked playing with boyish toys more. :D

McCalls was brought out by Rosie O'Donnell for her ROSIE mag in 2001 and her magazine was terminated in late 2002, as I'm sure you can remember. :)
