All the the Vintage Game Board paintings I've been creating recently
have been 'Boy' games (Cowboys, Indians, Super Heroes). I decided it was
time to do a 'Girl' game. And what could be more Girly than Barbie, The
Famous Teenage Fashion Doll?
My favorite barbie accessory is the Cat-Eye sunglasses. This game
includes Boyfriend cards and Formal cards among others. And what
teenage girl could live without her Telephone?
This game has a copyright date of 1960 from Mattel. In this game you are
Barbie. You win if you are the first player to be crowned Queen of the Prom. But in order to win you must have a steady boyfriend, a prom dress and be elected president of a school club.
Who doesn't love Elvis? Those dark good looks, those swivel hips, that lip curl! Oh yeah and the singing. *swoon*
And those Conversation Hearts say it all. Did you know that these heart candies have been around since 1866?
I think everyone likes toys at Christmas time. Some of us like toys all the time.
Jolly Jumper is a Fisher-Price pull toy made in 1954. In this painting he is sitting on a colorful game board from the game Frantic Frogs.
