You know you are old when...

Historical? 1974? I was 12. LOL @ crimson.

Babs, that makes you and "Julie" the same age.

Gee, thanks. *S*
Historical in 1974: Nixon resigned. Too bad we can't get the current law breaker to go. Still, I can't see that that would be a reason to make a 1974 doll. Then again, all those snazzy clothes...blech.

If the GOP honored their oath to the Constitution instead of their oath to the party, Bush would never have gotten away with his abuses. But then we'd have Cheney for President.

*shudder*

Apparently the *historicalness* of Julie is thus: She lives in San Fransisco and is dealing with her parents divorce. She becomes part of the *radical feminist movement* when she starts a petition b/c she isn't allowed to join the school basketball team - no girls allowed. She makes friends with a deaf girl and runs for class president to *reform* the school detention system.

Voila! The "historical" 70's in a nutshell. ;)

I think this is so silly! Julie may still be older than me, but not by much! The 70's a historical time just hits way too close for this 80's baby. ;)
