Barbie who?

So I asked Tandy if she knew - she didn't, but she did have a lot of interesting notes regarding her experiences with Barbie.

"Most girls had 2 or 3 Barbies, and usually ONE Ken." Ken must have been one lucky guy :)

Tandy went on to tell me that the Barbie clothing was a lot better made back then than these days. She said she had "tons" of outfits for her Barbie's.

Tandy also reminded me of "Skipper," who was Barbie's younger sister.

As for Barbie's last name... I decided to Google it, because I knew ask.com is carefully counting the number of searches on their web site. In the end, ask.com did have the best answer, even though Google is my preferred search engine.
