Poupee! (first one to figure out what that means gets a prize)

"I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world, life's fantastic if you're plastic!" (by aqua, "barbie girl")

You got that right Barbie! Today I visited the Musee de la Poupee, or the Doll Museum. It was pretty cool, because even though they were just dolls, they had a lot of history behind them. we walked in the musee's tiny doors to see an assortment of really REALLY old dolls. Ads you walked through, you could se how the evolution of the dolls really worked. There were a lot of high fashion dolls, but they were all adults. Until the the 1800's, dolls weren't children, but adults. Then the children dolls became more popular.
We went through a veil to see giant cases of barbies. The musee's special exhibit was on Barbie! It was actually quite interesting to see Barbie go from the average 1950's woman to malibu barbie on the beach, to the 1970's hippie era (yes, they had a hippy barbie, complete with hippy Ken) to the mullet, rock, and really bad crazy fashion of 1980.
My Mom pointed out which Barbies she had as a kid, and i realized that I still had those barbies, but I didn't have any of their clothes. It was really interesting (even Quinn was interested!)and i loved it!

TTFN-Sophie luv 2 u all
