Now you’ve got me thinking about old toys. If I can find a picture of one of my favorite toys, I’ll do a post on it. It was a printing press, I think it was called “The Big Press” but I’m not having much luck on my photo hunt. We should all do a blog post on favorite toy memories.

Those wigs had their own funky smell and feel as I recall. They made your head sweat. Remember when she played beauty parlor and cut off the end of the cat’s tail?

I believe that your sister loved them. Her hairstyle when I was a kid and spending summers in L-land looked an awful lot like the blonde wig, minus the top UFO shaped bit.

And her current hair is quite similiar to the red wig, if you squint.

Suzanne, I said just about the same thing to Recliner Man. It’s funny isn’t it? We had no idea how tacky life was back then. LOL I think I remember that my sister really loved these wigs. Oh, and Recliner Man told me that his younger sister had them too.

I found a site online that has a lot of old Sears Wish Books posted. I’ll have to go through some of them and see how many of my old toys I can find.

So that’s what happened to us! I bet those came from China and were full of lead. Luckily we couldn’t stand to wear them for long! Haha
