Toys from My Childhood-The Bionic Woman Dome House

This is a toy from my childhood. Here is the Bionic Woman Dome House. I had a Jamie Sommers doll. Now I wish I had this house.
I’m not sure what I love more, the fact that this doll house looks like some groovy 1970s pad teeming with all sorts of swinging singles in polyester having wild parties with lots of cocaine and wild sex, the rampant sexism (Instead of waiting for the details of her next mission, the Bionic Woman is getting all pretty and waiting for her “man” to show up), or the angelic choir singing “Jaaaaaaaaaaaaamie Sommers” in the background.

You had me at silent but deadly.

Big Move Coming
14 Dec 2010 Comments Off
I am in the process of moving this blog to it’s own domain. It’s pretty much up and running. The import messed with some of the URLs in the old posts, so I have to fix this. I’ll be posting in both places and I will post when the move is permanent.
This blog will also have it’s own page on Facebook.
The URL of the new blog is http://www.msannomalley.com
Proofreading is your Friend #1

While searching for any other synonyms for the word sphincter (don’t ask, it’s for a future blog post), I came across a sentence that could have used a bit of proofreading:

If you are going to use proper biological terms such as sphincter, anus, rectum, or alimentary canal, shouldn’t you also be using the proper biological term “feces” instead of using the word poop?
Just sayin….

This is a toy from my childhood, although I did not own this. I remember this commercial quite vividly. Please to enjoy “Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow”.
Wow. Just wow. I wonder what kind of gross artificial chemicals were in those milk pellets? That pretend milk looks just absolutely nasty!
This toy was not geared towards farm kids. All the farm kids I knew thought this was pretty stupid.

Here’s a commercial for a toy from my childhood that they would not dare to make today.
I present to you Rub a Dub Dolly.
I think it speaks for itself.
