Apparently there were a series of dolls, like Barbie but without the adult attributes (GoComics made me rewrite this) for whom a bunch of expensive accessories could be purchased.
My brother had two daughters, so he knew about the cost of Barbies. He once t told me that it would have been cheaper to keep an exotic nineteen year old mistress. I never found out how he knew the cost of an exotic nineteen year old mistress.
When I lived in Tokyo I met a guy from St Lucia. His mother was British, so he was wondering whether to try claiming British citizenship . But later I saw a photo of him in a newspaper, along with a story that he had been appointed the St. Lucian consul to Japan. He was probably the only St Lucian there, and St Lucia probably couldn’t afford to set up an embassy in Tokyo. (At that time, quite a few countries found that they could only fund a small office out in the suburbs.)
Decadent.
