Subject: Mattel "Bottle Time Baby" doll advert (1985)

Written By: andersenb11775 on 07/25/18 at 3:58 am

I came across this ad in my Judith Barsi research.

The outfits on Judith and the other girl... evidently Mattel didn't think little girls in trousers could sell baby dolls. What was so wrong with trousers?

The blue (the older kid) and sunset (Judith) colored dresses would have been laughed at in the real non-ad world.

I was a kid in the 1980s and we didn't wear dresses unless it was a wedding or some other special occasion.
