Tuesday Taylor and the best of the '70s

Do you remember the Tuesday Talyor Doll? She was doll made in the mid-70s, and she had black hair on one side, and blonde hair on the other. She was a super-model. She was not only a super-model, she had a kick-ass New York Penthouse. http://lyciascustoms.50megs.com/tuesday/apartment.htm
Now over the years as a child, my mom bought me many a dolls. Actually, it's no wonder my mom never spent any money on herself, she spent every penny on my sister, brother and I. It's funny how you start to see things in a different light when you become an adult. Ok, back to Tuesday... So this doll and her house. It was by far my favorite doll. I don't know why, I just prefered her over the other barbies. Maybe I liked that she didn't have to make up her mind about whether blondes had more fun or not - she could do it all baby.
Since most of the specifics of my childhood are a blur - it's good for me to write about the things I do remember, and thank goodness for the information highway to provide me with other freaks that actually kept their dolls in boxes so I can add links to my blog.
I remember playing with Tuesday Taylor for hours and hours. She had so many boyfriends, it was a revolving door. She and barbie used to even get into it from time to time cause Ken was seeing Tuesday on the side. (Where the heck to kids even get this stuff - I wasn't allowed to watch soap operas back then and my mom would have NOTHING to do with men) hmm, maybe some things are just instinctive.
Well, so, Ms. Tuesday was always having parties - and she was big into the club seen. This was also about the time I bought my first album - Alicia Bridges. The record skipped, and I had to load down the needle of my record player with pennies so it would play the one song on the record I liked - I love the nightlife. I used to play that song over and over again. Too the point that my mom made me move my record player to the back porch so she wouldn't have to hear it.
Whenever Tuesday would have a party, she would play that song.... Gosh, thinking back, I imagined life would be so glamorous. When did I take off the rose colored glasses I wonder? Maybe I still have them somewhere, I think I could use a little of that right now - as I'm trying to sort whether I do what feels right for my heart or what is right in my head. Another story, another day...
Since I decided to have this little flashback, I thought I would bring you guys along with me for the ride, so here you go, my memories of 1978 (7 years old):
