I was thinking about, back in the 80's, when my family would ask me what I wanted for Christmas, and I'd go through the Toys R Us catalog with a magic marker, circling girlie toys on every page.

Here are some commercials for the toys we loved in the 80's.

    OMG WHIP! I feel like a little girl watching these commercials again. I totally forgot about those "Sweet Secrets!" I had all of these toys except the Brook Shields doll. I never knew they had those.
    My mom didd the same thing to my sister and I w/ the Toys R Us circular. We'd circle what we wanted, oh, how I wish I could still do that!

    I had the Brooke Shields doll, and I loved it! But then one time I took her in the bathtub with me and her hair got all frizzy when it dried. Boo!

    I always wanted the Brooke Shields doll, and my best friends' big sister had the Donnie and Marie dolls, I sooooo wanted those, but they didn't make them anymore.

    I always folded down the pages of the sears/penneys catalogs. Wish Book? Wasn't one of them called that?

    My sister or I had all of these toys! She still sleeps with a GloBaby, even at 23. She has gone through 3 of them. We bought all we could find on ebay!

    I used to have a glow worm. I always wanted a Pound Puppy and a Strawberry Shortcake doll. I did have a Cabbage Patch Kid (so did my sister). I also did have a My Little Pony.

    They just don't make toys for girls like they used to. I'll die before I purchase a Bratz doll for any of my family's girl-children. I hope that fad dies it's natural death before I have kids.
