Back in the day, when you wanted to hire an entertainer for a party, you didn’t have the luxury of the internet. You had to find an ad, call a number, and hope the person you hired wasn’t a crazy person…or even the person you intended to hire.
One Barbie fan, Julia (@joolia_go0lia/TikTok),and former child in that era shared a story of her mom accidentally hiring a Barbie stripper for her 5th birthday.
“I’m getting ready to go to the Barbie movie, obviously, and I just remembered that I had a Barbie-themed birthday party when I was five. And my mom said that she hired someone from the phone book — because I’m 700 years old and back then you just were like, ‘Oh, look in the phone book’ for entertainers, and there was one for Barbie, and that was the theme. Perfect.”
“The woman shows up and she’s a stripper and I love her. She played along. She did not take off her clothes. I followed her around, thrilled that Barbie came to my birthday party, and all of the parents there had a really good laugh.”
