I had the black doll-her name was Rosemary IIRC. I bought her because I didn't have any black dolls then , so she was "unusual". That, and her outfit had a shawl, which was a look I liked. Her record was a pretty shade of purple/lilac.

All these long years later, and I still collect a few dolls (Barbies mostly) , I still like wearing shawls and pashminas, and shades of purple are still my favorite color. Strange how our earliest years really can set a lasting pattern.
