LMaar Isn’t she just so sweet? We certainly enjoyed visiting her house. She is such a wealth of information about Barbie. Thank you for introducing me to her.
I read the digital version of this book just last week and very much enjoyed it. I especially loved the insight into what it was like to work at Mattel HQ! Nice interview.
It´s so great you meet this very nice and interesting lady, thank you for showing this interview. And I´m more glad now that I have the Benefit Barbie in my collection, i hope I can get Mrs. Spencer´s book in Germany!🌹💖
Däumling ́s Angel Thank you so much for watching my interview with Carol Spencer. She is a very nice and interesting lady. Now I need benefit Barbie for my collection. You definitely should get her book you will love it.
Wonderful interview! I just came across Carols book this past weekend, and I'm about halfway through her beautiful book! I'm in awe of all her gorgeous designs.
I got the book almost as soon as it came out. There are some interesting bits of trivia scattered about, but I wished there were more detail of how certain dolls were conceived.
You are so lucky to meet such an icon. I think that in Norway, the Totally Hair dolls had different names. The brunette had the Steffi face and was named Whitney. When I Google it, I find that they were called "Ultra Hair." I never got any. Super long hair was not my thing. My cousin got Day To Night Barbie, after I got Party Pink.
Amaruq313 I was lucky to meet such a Barbie icon. That is so interesting to hear that the Barbies had different names in Norway. Thank you so much for watching my video.
I’m just a tiny bit incredibly jealous- of Both the lady Who had my childhood (& adult-not gonna lie) dream job & also of the gal who got to talk to her & see all her gorgeous dolls! I have her book & would love to get it signed. It’s a terrific coffee table book to just flip through & look at the pictures that’s also worth reading. Her story is so interesting. She graduated HS in 1950 (about a month before my mom was born) and started her career at a time when the want-ads Were divided by sex, a woman took her husband’s FULL name- 1st & Last- when she married, women who had only a few years prior been driven into the workforce out of patriotism were being force-fed the idea that they were just wartime placeholders & it was their new patriotic duty to give their job back to its rightful owner, get married , have a family, keep house & look pretty doing it; being a housewife was considered the default & most women married young, becoming mothers & homemakers right out of HS without giving it much thought. Women (who didn’t marry, of course) could realistically aspire to one of a very few careers where looks, geography, talent & luck weren’t a factor. You could be a teacher, secretary or nurse, basically. These are important jobs but historically not well paid (Gee, I wonder why) with little to no room for advancement and very often, subordinate to a man. Working women- and career women in particular- were regarded as unnatural, unlucky or possibly unsuitable for inclusion in “good” society- an object of scorn or of pity. She spent the bulk of her working life designing for a doll that was conceived by a woman who wasn’t deterred when her idea was roundly dismissed & laughed at, working at company that was co-founded and for many years RUN by a woman who was both immaculately turned-out AND a shrewd business woman. Having read the book, I actually was able to pick out a bunch of outfits/dolls in this video that were mentioned in the book. For instance: The outfit with the red top & white buttons on the brown bubblecut doll towards the end of the video is the first outfit she designed for Barbie after landing the job. Crisp & Cool, I want to say. It also shows the outfit she designed TO get the job.
9:09 But.. Those Kelly dolls look so different! They have everything that made me dislike Kelly for so many years. She looks more like a toddler. Compared to the Li'l Friends of Barbie Kelly (Shelly) looked like she did not get enough to eat. And the former looked too tall to be babies, compared to Shelly.
