What’s the story behind this game?
When I was a kid, whenever it was playtime with dolls, we would lay out all our dolls and their clothing items. Then we would “do a pick.”
That’s where you take turns picking which doll or dolls you’ll play with and which outfits or accessories you’ll get to play with. Your playtime companion would take a turn picking her dolls, clothes, and accessories too.
My #DoApick shorts on My YouTube Channel are a blast from the past! They let you choose from retro dolls and their clothing items and/or accessories, while imagining a fun playtime adventure from a bygone era.
Join the fun! Leave your “pick” in the comments!

How cute is Barbie dress on the brochure?
Yes! I love that patchy looking dress too… So ’70’s!
Let’s go camping! When my kids were little (and teenagers) we went every summer! We would take the van AND tents! I had my own tiny tent for me and the littlest, a big one for the boys, and the girls in another, but they usually ended up in the van. But for today, I’m taking the tent!
Fun!
