I was looking through Barbie fashion sets and it seems as though the only way to get more clothes for her is to buy another version of her.

I am sorry her life was interrupted by the intruder, but glad she survived to return to work at the Rosie Museum National Park. It is true that Black women worked outside of the home, usually in the homes of white women, long before white women took on those jobs during WWII that men usually performed. The point I wanted to make with this post is that there were AA women who were among the "Rosie" labor force, doing the same jobs that white women were doing during WWII, but not much is mentioned about them. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-39552906283184557782017-02-01T09:29:12.470-06:002017-02-01T09:29:12.470-06:00The Rosie museum National Park site in Richmond CA...The Rosie museum National Park site in Richmond CA is fascinating!
