1967 - 1970 Twist 'N Turn Casey

This is one of the first dolls that got me addicted to collecting Barbies! I remember having Casey when I was very young so she had to be one of my first to have left an impression like this. I was fascinated with the shiny gold shorts and dangling earring! In many cases this earring has tragically turned many Casey dolls' ears green but my doll avoided that pitfall, somehow. Whew! This photo is from my personal collection and is still one of my favs. 

Casey is Francie's fun friend who shares the same body mold as Francie which makes it easy for them to raid one another's closets! In 1967 she came with rooted eyelashes and super cute chin-length hair. Francie and Casey had a third bestie they hung out with named Twiggy #1185 who was the first "personality" doll based on the '60s top model from London. 

The only difference between the 1967 Casey and the 1968 - 1970 doll is that the '67 Casey with brunette hair may have oxidized to a reddish color. The latter year dolls' hair did not change color so mine must be from that era. And for a blast from the past, here is a 1967 commercial with Francie and Casey!
