Barbie’s Afghan Hound
“Pose her! Comb her! Love her!” If Barbie’s own flowing locks weren’t enough to occupy you, her pet Afghan hound—no doubt chosen as Barbie’s breed of choice because of that fabulous fur—was ready to step up. I don’t remember all these accessories coming with Beauty, but what a fantastic mix of practical (collar, leash, dog bed, dog dish, and one of those classic Barbie comb-brush combo things) and utterly frivolous (crown, cape, medal, straw hat). It’s no wonder that now, as an adult, I have a dog that has a bigger wardrobe than I do. – Cheryl Eddy
